bogus usernames?
The first description is correct. The second description is for 'kick-fun'. I think kick-bogus is defunct anyway.. not sure (I've lost count of the number of times these kinds of things are missing from the UPDATES files).
A bogus username refers to the ident section of a uhost containing certain characters (I can't remember the exact range), such as control characters. Once upon a time it was popular to use a colour control character, so that when the user joined their uhost would look (to mIRC users) like a block of colour. This also resulted in the stupid bots kicking them endlessly.
