    Antonym: deop
    • 1999, Cory McWilliams, “IRC Oddities”, in alt.irc (Usenet):
      True, better clients will remember that a person had a voice before they were opped and will return the + when they are deopped, but that doesn't solve the problem. Suppose someone joins the room after the user is opped and before the user is deopped.
