Admin ban (ban nick exceptions)

RowBot · Post by **RowBot** » Thu May 27, 2004 4:58 am

Hey there,
I am using the following code to ban people using the nick Admin

ban nick {
	mask "Admin_*";
	reason "Reserved for Admins";
};

Is their a way to make it allow just 1 admin nick so it lets me on? I have tried the following but dont think it works

Code: Select all

except ban {
	mask [email protected];
};

Thankz Ian Collins

I wouldnt be too sure about this, but would a passworded allow line work?
meh, not sure.

Just out of curiosity, why Admin_* and not Admin*?

Well W00t it's "Admin_*" because he wants to block anyone using Admin_. for example me wanting to use Admin_1

I wouldn't be able to, damnit. oh but wait, shit AHHHHHHHHHH. I'd deal with not being able to use Admin_1 and just fucking use Admin! pfft... smart people, gotta love them.

<== my army is back

RowBot: well, you were close ;p. It's:

Code: Select all

except tkl {
    mask "ident@host";
    type qline;
};

(or if you use services for banning nicks then type 'gqline').

First, I assume you rehashed?

Second, can you show us your user@host, i.e. are you sure it matches?

yes i did rehash many times and here it is:
[email protected]

Works fine here (ident@*.myisp)...

As with everything that doesn't seem to work, check if it appears in stats (/stats q), if not then you did something wrong in your conf.
Also, make sure your ident is really 'admin' and doesn't show up as '~admin' or something.
