12We have loaded a new module on the network which provides the $j extban type:
13
14> $j:<chan> - matches users who are or are not banned from a specified channel
15
16As an example...
17
18> /mode #here +b $j:#timbuktu
19
20...would ban users from #here that are banned (+b) in #timbuktu.
21
22Please note that there are a couple of gotchas:
23
24 * Only matching +b list entries are checked. Quiets (+q) Exemptions (+e) & invexes (+I) are NOT then considered. As such, the following mode change would not alter the behaviour of the first example:
25
26 > /mode #timbuktu +e \*!\*@\*
27
28 * Quiets and the quieting effect of bans may not immediately take effect on #here when #timbuktu's ban list changes due to caching by the ircd.
29
30 * $j isn't recursive. Any $j extbans set in #timbuktu are ignored when matching in #here.
31
32We imagine you'll have some more useful use cases than the above.

34Thanks for flying freenode!
