Skype, a free voice, video and text chat application, gives the person who begins a conversation control over who can and can't participate in the chat.
The commands used to control and moderate a Skype text conversation let the user who created the chat password protect the chat as well as add, remove and ban participants. If you ban a participant and decide later to allow the person back into the chat, you can remove them from the ban list so they can rejoin.
Type "/get banlist" in the text chat's conversation box. The user names of all participants who you've banned will be listed.
Type "/set banlist -username" in the conversation box to unban a user from the text chat. For example, to unban a user named Jim54321, type "/set banlist -Jim54321" and the user will be able to rejoin the chat.
