1, Personally, I dont see the point in this. If you ban an email block, they
will just find another 1. for example, you cant ban *.hotmail.com on a
network, so the "stupid kiddies" will just use something like that. Just
insert a largish reg delay, it would mean they would have to change their
IP, or wait for something like 60mins before being able to register again.
2) Once again, i dont see a point for this feature. It would make channels
prone to opwars, and takeovers. although the SUSPEND command does do what
you ask, but i am unsure if it supports wildcards.
