10We have loaded a new module on the network which provides the $j extban type:
11
12> $j:<chan> - matches users who are or are not banned from a specified channel
13
14As an example...
15
16> /mode #here +b $j:#timbuktu
17
18...would ban users from #here that are banned (+b) in #timbuktu.
19
20Please note that there are a couple of gotchas:
21
22 * 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:
23
24 > /mode #timbuktu +e \*!\*@\*
25
26 * 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.
27
28 * $j isn't recursive. Any $j extbans set in #timbuktu are ignored when matching in #here.
29
30We imagine you'll have some more useful use cases than the above.
