This is, you will find, by design.

Why should a person not on a the channel be able to see the ban or exemption list?
It makes it easier for them to easily ban evade.

This is the first (and only) IRCd that I have come across that behaves in such a way. It may make things easier for people to evade, but the people who are banned, but shouldn't be (like: an op) can tell another Op which address is matching theirs. (I know services do this, but that is one thing that I don't prefer have services do. It makes war channels alot easier to make that way, same thing with the chanserv invite command.)

mmm...

But if you are an op, you should just be able to add +e for yourself anyhow.
So the ban would be ineffective.

I don't see the point of this.

I think he means if you're a ChanOp (AOP in ChanServ or what ever else), not an IRCop (and not all IRCops can /samode or have OperOverride).

As mentioned, you can just ask ChanServ to invite you. A ChanOp or U-Line'd INVITE in your hand is usually enough to join through a ban. And if you're an AOP, you'll have access to ChanServ INVITE, and since ChanServ ops you (which implies voice), the ban no longer matters to you.

erm,

1) Chanserv has (should have) an UNBAN command, which removes all bans on the user, thus there no need to contact a channel op..
2) Invite is ment for +i and +k and +l modes, not to override a ban
3) an op should be remove any bans on you anyway as your/they have ops for a reason

4) the ban must be pretty broad to affect a OP like " *!mask@* or
" *!*@*isp.com " in which case they should have added a +e for the present ops within the room,

I agree on w00t, i dont see a reason on this,

Actually: A reversal.

Normal users _shouldnt_ be able to see bans. But +oO etc should be able to? Perhaps just +a?

You know to assist with channel takeovers, etc.
