When you're a lot on irc and in a lot of channels, you'll get sometimes people that just get on your nerves. With default behaviour you issue /ignore nickname and you won't be bothered anymore by that user. However I think everybody deservers a second, third, fourth chance... so I would suggest that you add an optional expiration parameter e.g. /ignore nickname +2w Which would make the ignore for that nick expire in two weeks. Reproducible: Always
