π NAME π
/kick β the Profanity XMPP client's /kick command, bestie. That's the whole name, no notes. π
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
Okay so picture this: you're in a chat room, somebody is being A Whole Situation, and you need them out. That's what /kick does β it kicks an occupant out of the chat room. That's it. That's the function. It's giving removal, it's giving boundaries, and honestly? We love a command with a clear purpose. π

πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
/kick <nick> [<reason>]
See how <reason> is wrapped in those little square brackets? That's the universal signal for optional, babes. <nick> is mandatory. Feed the command the nick or it's gonna vibe check you right back. π
π ARGUMENTS π
<nick>β the nickname of the occupant you wanna kick from the room. This one is required, fr fr. No nick, no kick, no drama. π₯<reason>β an optional reason for kicking the occupant. Lowkey iconic if you fill this in, because getting kicked with a reason is at least getting kicked with β¨contextβ¨. Entirely up to you though β it's optional, so it's giving "do it or don't, bestie, live your truth." π«Ά
Not me reminding you that this is a kick, not a ban β the occupant is getting removed from the room, per the description, and that's the whole vibe. No extra claims here, mwah. ππ
π§ that's a wrap, queen π§
