Eggdrop 1.6.X won't place bans, if the user is in the ban list, but only kick them
This 'error' or whatever you want to call it
occurs only on DALnet as far as I know, your bots would work fine on efnet though
I've tested out my botnets on efnet and dalnet, and yeah for some reason they f**k up on dal

The dal.net ircd, globally (all server links) should allow 100 max bans (MAXBANS=100)

The bots set modes fine, like enforcing certain modes (mode restriction), and banning users that trigger eggdrops default flood protection, I've just had trouble with the .+ban nick!user@host, it will just kick them repeatedly w/o banning, there is definately some bug that prevents them from setting the ban, the only thing that would prevent the bot from setting bans is a full ban list, and yeah my ban lists were empty..

60?

chanserv can't assume how to "set" or "unset"
bans unless you have a tcl which can do so,
but if you meant when bans expire the bot doesn't remove the bans, this has happened to me as well :/ what would changing the handle length do to make the bot set bans?
Hopefully, someone can figure out what's wrong an release a patch/fix for those of us running bots on dal.net (bahamut)
