added this too ircd conf file:
except tkl {
mask *@*.qwest.net;
type gzline;
type gline;
type qline;
type gqline;
type shun;
};
but services is still able too set kline is there a way too exempt that as well?

1. The except tkl block doesn't work with multiple types. Specify only one type, because only one will be accepted. If you want tkl exceptions for more types, multiply the except tkl block, like so:

except tkl { mask user@host; type gzline; };
except tkl { mask user@host; type gline; };
except tkl { mask user@host; type shun; };

2. qlines and gqlines are nickname bans. Having a (g)qline exception for a user@host mask is meaningless.

3. I think you know this, but: it's always good to use both the except ban and except tkl blocks, because they are both required to protect you from every kind of user@host bans.

4. Why don't you remove "/* don't ban stskeeps */" from your config?

That comment has something to do only with the example configuration, and is totally unrelated to yours.
