Few people know that in Skype there are chat commands. Most of the commands are useful only for group chat. They are fun and give more control.
The commands start always with “/” and after it there is the keyword for the given command. For example if you want to see a list with the commands you can type “/help” while you are in chat with someone and hit send.

• /add [Skype Name] – adds a contact to the chat

• /get creator – information for the contact that started the chat
• /kick [Skype Name] – kicks someone out of the chat, but leaves him the right to return
• /kickban [Skype Name] – kicks someone out of the chat, and he cannot return
