third-person singular simple present deops, present participle deopping, simple past and past participle deopped
(transitive, Internet) To demote (an IRC operator) from operator status. quotations examples
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.
