Unintentional QLINE (help me understand why)

Hey there!

I had a chatter accidentally caught in my QLINE:
[19:15] -chat.mynetwork.com- Forbidding Q-lined nick mrs_doolittle from [x.x.x.x].
And here is my config snippet:

Code: Select all


 ban nick {
	mask "*A*d*m*i*n*";
	reason "Unauthorized Nickname";
 };

 ban nick {
	mask "*R*o*o*t*";
	reason "Unauthorized Nickname";
 };

Um, I would be eternally grateful if some one could explain to my how "mrs_doolittle" could be caught up in either of those QLINEs?

Code: Select all

 ban nick { 
   mask "*R*o*o*t*"; 
   reason "Unauthorized Nickname"; 
 }; 
That is why, this is how:

mRs_dOOliTtle

* = match anything.
