When i banning users I must too kick them. Is it possible when i execute some ban command, kick be execute automatically in newest versions of DB Hub? (:

[@DarKRaveR]

Adding a kickban command for convinience? Well, mybe later, I think doing code cleanup and rework etc. is currently more pressing ;-)

The major question would be: Is there any reasonable usage to ban without kicking?

Imho this depends on the hub'S policies. Imagine, somebody is misbehaving, an op could set a ban, without a kick, the user still might be able to contact an admin (for revising the issue), once kicked this seems impossible ...
On the other hand, in my opinion the whole kick/ban issues don't make sense nowa days. ipban-> reconnect ->bypass, nickban -> change nick -> bypass ....

Things like kick/ban as in IRC were introduced, when there were no dialin providers and proper idents were enforced, but that's a diferent story anyway ...

If the modification makes sense, centurion should decide on this and might supply a patch, he knows all that command handling stuff way better :-).

!ban command kicks user automatically, that is default:

Code:

if(punishment != 0) uprintf(tempuser, "$ForceMove %s|", redirect_host_kickban); tempuser->rem = REMOVE_USER | SEND_QUIT | REMOVE_FROM_LIST;

It works perfectly,

If you ban somenone's IP use !banip, if you ban somenone's IP nick user !bannick, these two, in opposite to !ban command, don't require user (with the same nickname) presence

I don't understand the problem ;)

That inded looks 'sane' - as I said, never looked deeply into tht part of the code ... that's going to come later :-).

!ban nick command kicks user automatically - user must be present on the hub

!bannick & !banip don't kick user, just ban nick or ip, without checking if user is online

this is default, to made more options to choice

use !ban instead of !bannick if you want to kick somebody after banning him..

I am not familiar with UserCommands but can't you just create a string containing two commands? Like
<you> !bannick %[user] reason|<you> !kick %[user] reason| ?
two actions for one user?

Well... same thing happents for !tbannick. The user is banned temporarly but he don't quit the hub
