I'm trying to write a Boot() mob/proc
that when called will boot the mob or pc outta the game.
Its the result of spammers in my game. So far when someone trys to spam it makes note of it, and this part is working fine. Is just my Boot() is not doing anything.

Any suggestions to make it a sure boot?
mob/proc
Boot(src)
del src

Try this
Boot(M as mob in world)
del M

Having src as a proc argument is probably confusing it. You should never declare src or usr, because they are already defined.

Try
mob/proc
Boot()
del(src)

Is their a certain way I need to call the Boot()?

del (M)

Now make some safeguards so you cannot boot yourself/NPCs.

Do you have different mobs in your world
if you dont it will boot you
and yes it should work becuase it askes what mob you want to boot if you have more then one mob in the world

If there's only one mob in the world it will automaticly boot that mob.

Well of course you would need to put
mob
verb
Boot(M as mob in world)
del M

In response to Richter
mob/verb/Boot(mob/M as mob in world)
if(M.key != "Lord of Water") // Replace "Lord of Water" with your key
M << "You have been booted!"
var/Mname = M.name
del(M)
alert(src,"You booted [Mname].","[Mname] booted")
else
alert(src,"You cannot boot Lord of Water!","Cannot Boot") // again, change Lord of Water to your key.
