deop

From de- + op.

deop (third-person singular simple present deops, present participle deopping, simple past and past participle deopped)

1. (transitive, Internet) To demote (an IRC operator) from operator status.
   • 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.
