  38 <PRE>The next UnrealIRCd version (3.2.3) will feature two new channel modes: +I
  39 (invex) and +j (join throttling). They're already in CVS, for those interested.
  40 However, it seems that Services doesn't support them.
  41
  42 The reasons for coming to this conclusion are as follows:
  43  - Couldn't find anything relating to these two modes in protocol/unreal.c
  44 (although I will admit, what I know about C is dangerous)
  45  - Trying to use ChanServ MLOCK on them returned an &quot;unknown mode char&quot; error
  46  - OperServ CLEARMODES failed to remove them if set
  47
  48 (Version 5.0.48 of Services was used.)
  49
  50 Some technical information regarding these modes: according to Unreal's 005
  51 numeric, +I is a mode that adds a nick!<A HREF="http://lists.ircservices.za.net/mailman/listinfo/ircservices">user at host</A> mask to a list (like +b and
  52 +e, which should automatically imply that it shouldn't be MLOCKed), while +j
  53 requires a parameter to be set but doesn't require a parameter to be unset; +l
  54 works the same way. The syntax for +j is &quot;+j joins:seconds&quot;.
  55
  56 As I'm expecting Unreal3.2.3 to be released sometime within the next two weeks,
  57 this should be sorted out pretty quickly (ie before it gets released.)
