OK new problem I have tried to find help on, got some but it is still not working.
I have added several users to the perm ban list and it will not kick and ban them when they join.
I am using global setting not adding a channel name.
this is one of the users whois
Bejier is ~~@184.52.221.203.dial.dynamic.acc04-waym-adl.comindico.com.au
below is what I added to the bot
.+ban ~~@*.*.comindico.com.au
now I have that user part and join several times it will not kick them or ban them.
'k, could you verify that they don't match any users with flags such as +f, +o, or +m (hint, use the .channel #channel command to list channel members and how your eggdrop recognizes them)
Still sounds like you've got one user in your userlist with a hostmask that matches these spambots. Using .channel, does it list the bots as having the handle "*", or anything else?
Also, are you using some custom tcl-scripts or such?
