What happens in that case is pretty simple; users on the servers which don't honour wildcards can join channels which would not be allowed on other servers. Since the BADCHAN check is only done for a local user join then the other servers don't care. We only noticed this behavour when users started getting around one particular wildcard BADCHAN of ours (&*). splidge QuakeNet person
