# This setting is used only for info to share with others on your botnet.
# Set this to the IRC network your bot is connected to.
set network "ETG"
but that says it is only for info.
set ban-time 120
so in 120 minutes the bans will be removed. thanks i did not see this before
but my main problem is the bots not banning when a host matching its internal ban list joins the channel. it will only kick

all the settings you told me to check are set right
someone told me in irc that they have this in a script for their eggdrop. but it is for version 1.1.5. i tried it in 1.6.15 and it still is only kicking people and not banning
here is the script

bind flud - * do_floods
proc do_floods {nick userhost handle type channel} {
putserv "MODE $channel +b $userhost"
if {$type == "join"} {
putserv "KICK $channel $nick :Boot! Now you can cycle my nuts"
}
return 1;
