   4 title: 'New extban: $j'
   5 We have loaded a new module on the network which provides the $j extban type:
   6
   7
   8 <blockquote>$j:<chan> - matches users who are or are not banned from a specified channel</blockquote>
   9
  10
  11 As an example...
  12
  13
  14 <blockquote>/mode #here +b $j:#timbuktu</blockquote>
  15
  16
  17 ...would ban users from #here that are banned (+b) in #timbuktu.
  18
  19 Please note that there are a couple of gotchas:
  20
  21
  22
  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
  27
  28
  29 <blockquote>/mode #timbuktu +e *!*@*</blockquote>
  30
  31
  32
  33
  34
  35
  36   * 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.
  37
  38
  39   * $j isn't recursive. Any $j extbans set in #timbuktu are ignored when matching in #here.

  42 We imagine you'll have some more useful use cases than the above.
