newban only kicking without banning.

Post by **Sir_Fz** » Mon Nov 03, 2003 4:48 pm

only on channels with a big ban list, the bot kicks without banning when executing the "newban" command, which is pretty annoying when the kicked user autorejoins... I tried to increase the max-bans in the .conf file and sl_banmax in sentinel but it seems that its still not banning, anyone has any ideas ?

check the number of the current bans on the chan, remove the first one if the max is reached and add the new one...

perhaps increase max-modes as well? +b is also a mode i believe

what do they mean by max-modes ? lik max modes at a time or as a whol for the channel ?

check for the ircd's limit of bans per channel....

where do I check that ?

I've been told on undernet that the max-bans options only effects when the net-type is set to 5 (others), If I do that would it effect the bots behavior on DALnet ?

when you connect on an irc server you get to see a few server related things. Look for something like MAXBANS=60

This is the exact reason I tell people NOT to use -dynamicbans

I use +dynamicbans.

mirc-x has the same problem
is says in the mod MAXBANS=100

so i changed the following
set net-type 5
set max-bans 100

but still it fails when going over a amount of bans

I decided to let the bot unban bans that last for 40mins (using ban-time) so the banlist wont get full. works fine now

Have you been able to get it to work lately? I've got the same issues, except that my chan has only 54 bans.

It should be something with the "bans on channel limit" or something similar..

yeah i got also the same problem on rizon
they allow 100 bans a channel
but after 20 bans set he just kicks so we get like a kick flood because the user keeps rejoining.
and i've set in the config file:
set max-bans 100

not an eggdrop problem

the bot (or the user being kicked) is on a desynched server that doesn't relay bans properly
