  46 &gt;<i> Im having some trouble with malicious operators adding global akicks on
  47 </I>&gt;<i> the channel list.  I want to prevent this, but other than adding a test
  48 </I>&gt;<i> for every possible combination of global mask, is there an easier way?
  49 </I>&gt;<i>
  50 </I>&gt;<i> I modified the chanserv.c code a little as follows...
  51 </I>&gt;<i>
  52 </I>&gt;<i> if (!stricmp(mask, &quot;*!*@*&quot;) || !stricmp(mask, &quot;*@*&quot;) ||
  53 </I>&gt;<i> !stricmp(mask,&quot;*@**&quot;) || !stricmp(mask,&quot;*@*.*&quot;)) {
  54 </I>&gt;<i>                 send_msg(s_ChanServ, u-&gt;nick, &quot;Your akick mask is to
  55 </I>&gt;<i> broad.&quot;);
  56 </I>&gt;<i>                 log(&quot;%s: %s tried to akick add %s on %s!&quot;, s_ChanServ,
  57 </I>&gt;<i> u-&gt;nick,
  58 </I>&gt;<i>                 mask, chan);
  59 </I>&gt;<i>                 wallops(s_ChanServ, &quot;%s tried to akick add %s on %s!&quot;,
  60 </I>&gt;<i> u-&gt;nick,
  61 </I>&gt;<i>                 mask, chan);
  62 </I>&gt;<i>                 return;
  63 </I>&gt;<i>         }
  64 </I>&gt;<i>
  65 </I>&gt;<i> but, is there a better way to prevent a global ban (I know, tell the
  66 </I>&gt;<i> founders to select better operators, but in the mean time?!)
  67 </I>&gt;<i>
  68 </I>&gt;<i>
  69 </I>&gt;<i>
  70 </I>&gt;<i>
  71 </I>
  72 Personally, I happen to believe in your last statement. Founders should pick
  73 better operators. If a chanop or founder came to me about it I would either
  74 tell them to rid of the op, teach the op better or don't ban *!*@*. I don't
  75 see why it should be a services issue to police a ban on *!*@*.
  76
  77 However, preventing an AKILL is a different story, this creates a huge
  78 problem. ALL network users are affected, which it becomes of a major
  79 concern. Yes, if an oper on my net akilled *!*@* they would loose their
  80 O:Line instantly.
