   7 We have loaded a new module on the network which provides the $j extban type:
   8
   9
  10 <blockquote>$j:<chan> - matches users who are or are not banned from a specified channel</blockquote>
  11
  12
  13 As an example...
  14
  15
  16 <blockquote>/mode #here +b $j:#timbuktu</blockquote>
  17
  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
  24
  25
  26   * 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:
  27
  28
  29
  30
  31 <blockquote>/mode #timbuktu +e *!*@*</blockquote>
  32
  33
  34
  35
  36
  37
  38   * 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.
  39
  40
  41   * $j isn't recursive. Any $j extbans set in #timbuktu are ignored when matching in #here.
  42
  43
  44 We imagine you'll have some more useful use cases than the above.
