Another thing to think about is, some channels may not like this. If
this idea were to be implemented perhaps a channel mode should be set
to enable it, that way for most the status quo doesn't change.

Any thoughts on just making the server-side ban list longer than
the 45?
You could do that, and the below recommendation.
I don't know how hard either would be.
An idea. :)
Enjoy.

Hi guys,
Regular users can currently set up to a maximum of 45 ban entries in a
channel, whereas X doesn't seem to have this limitation and can set
more bans
when they are requested. For channels that aren't registered this
might be a
bit of a problem if they are dealing with large (permanent) ban
lists and get
maxed out on the 45 bans.
Maybe I recall this wrong, or maybe I'm simply thinking of a
different IRC
daemon. Wasn't there, for lack of a better term, a revolving ban
system? If a
channel was maxed out on bans and you tried to set another! ban, it
would
unset the oldest ban and add the newly requested one?
If I didn't miss anything in the source code, this snipped from
ircd/channel.c
doesn't indicate any such feature to exist.
if (MyUser(cptr) && !removed_bans &&
(len > (feature_int(FEAT_AVBANLEN) * feature_int(FEAT_MAXBANS)) ||
(cnt >= feature_int(FEAT_MAXBANS))))
{
send_reply(cptr, ERR_BANLISTFULL, chptr->chname, banid);
return -1;
}
I don't suppose a feature is planned to automate this whereby if
FEAT_MAXBANS
is reached, unban the oldest entry and set the ban?
Thanks,
