OK.

I have to admit, this option is actually an idea resulted from the nobans
command I had added to ircservices. That command is specific to the
version of Bahamut we are running. It works this way:
/cs nobans #channel, and the result is, that services places a ban
exception to *!*@* (mode +e), to override any available bans.
The idea of this option will possibly be combined with the support for +e

I also do not think that blacklist is a has-to-exist option.

I think, the text already states, that it will be put into the help
message.

The current format is not bad, but the given format is easier to parse, I
guess, and also easier to recover from, if something goes wrong.

Aye aye!, as if it were that easy. Imagine, you change OperServ's
nickname, and see what happens, after rehash.

I also do not see why this magickal feature might be considered.

Will possibly be very helpful.

This can possibly get combined with the option making oper/admin list
commands available to everyone.

Beg your pardon, but these two sentences make no sense ? The second is a
pro for the ignore command, and the first is a con ?

A telnet session from localhost, with login of servicesroot, and its
password sounds nice, but I do not see any usage in this.

Will you start one ? :-)
