Banning Time

Mmm... How should I set the banning time (channel ban) of my bot to endlessly till the OPs remove it?

It does

# dynamicbans
# Only activate bans on the channel when necessary? This keeps
# the channel's ban list from getting excessively long. The bot
# still remembers every ban, but it only activates a ban on the
# channel when it sees someone join who matches that ban.

But if I unset the dynamicbans, when the OP (@) unban some hostmask or nick, the bot won't ban the hostmask again if the user rejoin the channel back... Right?

Etc...
If a op unbanned the hostmask *!*egghelp@*.egghelp.org...
* Op set mode -b *!*egghelp@*.egghelp.org
-
* Egghelp (egghelp@egg.egghelp.org) joined the #
...

Will the bot ban and kick out the user?
Or it will leave it?

+dynamicbans:
It will ban a user. When a user's IP is in the bots banlist and the user joins the channel that user will be kicked and banned. Suppose if an Op removes that ban from the channel (the ban is still in the bots internal banlist), then the bot will not enforce that ban (meaning the bot will not ban it upon an unban). But if the user joins the channel again (when he/she is unbanned) the that user will be again kicked out and banned by the bot.

It's like the person will be banned, as the IP is in the bots banlist. But if it is unbanned by any Op the bot will not ban it.

Also like ChanServ's akick. The person in ChanServ's akick list is kicked when he/she joins the channel. If the ban is removed by any Op on the channel ChanServ wont reban that ban on the channel. It will only kick/ban that person untill the person rejoins back in again.

+enforcebans:
It will keep bans enforced on a channel. It will also kick all users in the channel matching that IP range. So suppose you ban an IP range and a user is affected. When that user is kicked and banned and some Op tries to unban that user, the bot will ban that IP again immeditely. It will enforce all bans in it's banlist to be kept active on the channel's banlist when ever it is unbanned. Plus it will kick all users in the channel matching the IP banned. (as I mentioned earlier!)

I hope this gives a better explanation!

Mmm... I understand what you mean...

But now my bot unban the hostmask after few minutes when I've banned the hostmask even though I've setted the ban-time to 1800mins.

So I suppose the bot will unban the IP after 1800mins and not after FEW minutes...

[#1] If you use a tcl script utilizing 'newchanban' or 'newban' then it will unban after the ban-time set in the .conf file.

[#2] If you use a tcl script like putserv "MODE $chan +b $banmask" and it doesn't have newchanban or newban, then you can put a timer to unban that banmask (-b) whenever you want!

Mmm... What if the ban was setted by the OP and not the bot? It's the same?

*Op set mode +b *!*egghelp@*.egghelp.org

I don't understand what you are trying to say here.

Newchanban, newban can only be set by the bot.

dynamicbans, enforcebans all are for the bot.
It doesn't have any concern with bans set by other ops or bans unbanned by other ops which arent set by the bot or aren't in the bots banlist.

Let me try ....

The default setting for eggdrop ban time is 120 minutes when not set by "newchanban <channel> <ban> <creator> <comment> [lifetime] [options]"

If an Op sets a normal channel ban without using eggdrop the bot automatically removes that ban after 2 hours.

The default ban time (in minutes) can be altered in eggdrop.conf:

Code: Select all

set global-ban-time 120

I suggest you read tcl-commands.doc for a full explanation of "newchanban" which is found in ~doc. I also suggest you read eggdrop.conf (found in eggdrop tarball) for a full explanation of channel settings and their results.
