How do I use newchanban properly?

Hi guys. I keep receiving this error when I use newchanban, i have read tcl-commands.doc but unfortunately have yet to grasp what it fully means.

Error is

Tcl error [BanHim]: wrong # args: should be "newchanban channel ban creator comment ?lifetime? ?options?"

In my script it goes like

newchanban $dest $banmask Flooder :Watch this llama fly!

How should i go about using it if I want to also make it a 60 minutes ban?

Help will be greatly appreciated, thanks to all the great helpers out there

It is taking the comment to be ':Watch' and everything else after that to be extra arguments... you need to encapsulate your comment in quotes (ie. get rid of your colon). As for 60 minute lifetime of the ban, you would place 60 at the end of your newchanban, just as the usage example indicates.

example: newchanban $dest $banmask Flooder "your kick message" 60
