Bot removing user-placed bans

tbonekkt · Post by **tbonekkt** » Mon Jul 18, 2005 8:21 am

Here's my situation. When an OP sets a ban through their IRC program, the Bot will automatically unban the ban just set.

Here are the settings I've checked:

+userbans
bounce-bans = 0

What else am I missing?

it should be -userbans

Really? According to the conf file documentation:

# userbans
# Allow bans to be made by users directly? If turned off, the bot
# will require all bans to be made through the bot's console.

Wouldn't that imply that +userbans enables bans to be made by users directly?

Is there a certain flag that is required, besides +o?

sorry, i misread your question, its +userbans.
make sure your banlist isnt full .. some servers only allow 20 active bans.

In the conf file, I've set:

set max-bans 100

According to the partyline .bans all - there's only 35.

Is there a different setting or similar? Thanks for your help.

that op may be banning a protected hostmask (+o in the bot), or some protection botscript you run may be the culprit

Interesting.. so a user that has a *@* hostmask could be causing this?

yep, +o user with lame *@*

That did the trick, demond. I deleted the *@* hostmask from the user and everything is working as expected.

Thank you!
