  11 We have loaded a new module on the network which provides the $j extban type:
  12
  13 > $j:&lt;chan&gt; - matches users who are or are not banned from a specified channel
  14
  15 As an example...
  16
  17 > /mode #here +b $j:#timbuktu
  18
  19 ...would ban users from #here that are banned (+b) in #timbuktu.
  20
  21 Please 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.

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