11We have loaded a new module on the network which provides the $j extban type:
12
13> $j:<chan> - matches users who are or are not banned from a specified channel
14
15As an example...
16
17> /mode #here +b $j:#timbuktu
18
19...would ban users from #here that are banned (+b) in #timbuktu.
20
21Please note that there are a couple of gotchas:
22
23 * 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:
24
25 > /mode #timbuktu +e \*!\*@\*
26
27 * 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.
28
29 * $j isn't recursive. Any $j extbans set in #timbuktu are ignored when matching in #here.
30
31We imagine you'll have some more useful use cases than the above.
