I agree.... The ability to ban *!*@* should be either (a) limited to cservice staff only, or (b) blocked completely to everyone. In my opinion, 9 times out of 10, a *!*@* ban is considered abusive and probably used to maliciously lock up the channel. I don't really see a need to allow anyone to ban *!*@*, so I believe it should be limited to cservice staff only or totally blocked to everybody. But, leave the ability to quickly clear the X banlist by unbanning *!*@*.
