Although I am not a guru on the subject, I have been on irc for quite a 
while. I have never heard of a plus f option to channels, unless they are 
local server channels, which I don't know much about.  This is why bots 
were originally thought of and implemented.

When a person ids kicked of a channel, he is not kicked permanently.  
This is also normal.  Only a ban will keep a user out of the cannel, or 
perhaps a /kill but you don't want users have that ability.
