Hi there, I have some ideas: - Why I cannot ban *a*b*c*d*e!*f*g*h*i*j@*.net ? The length limit is the same as the maximum nick/ident length... This is a little annoying because if you want to ban abcde!fghij@*.net, the user comes back with ab_cde!fghij@*.net, abcde!f_ghij@*.net, abcde!fg_hij@*.net, etc. That are different bans... but with named bans all can be covered :o) The second idea is: Would be nice, if I could ban a user name within X in a channel. Means: If i ban (over X) 'username' in a channel, X will ban this user as soon as he/she logs into X... Surely nothing fancy, but another idea to force someone to stay out of a channel. Another thingie is: *!*@cw0<a>.<place>1.srv.t-online.de is definitely a HTTP proxy of the German provider T-Online and it's easily possible to fake the host mask for lots of T-Online customers. I'm wondering about that *!*@*.srv.t-online.de is not banned... however, just wanted to inform you :o) Maybe you think, my ideas are useful... maybe you don't think so... if you don't, just delete this mail ;o) Best regards, Jan "BRiTELiTE" K.
