Ban descriptions #118

Open k4bek4be opened 6 months ago

k4bek4be commented 6 months ago

This feature has been suggested by channel operators multiple times. I now have an idea how this may work. Each channel list mode (typically, +beI) would have an optional text description field. This text would be preferably human-readable, but machine-readable (for parsing by clients) is a possibility too. I'll use bnote (ban note) message tag in my examples. When a channel operator requests a list (/mode #channel b), these entries which have a description, would be tagged with it.

C: mode #channel b
S: :test.example.org 367 testtest #channel someuser!*@* setter 1697420000
S: @bnote=Users\sof\sthis\sbouncer\skeep\smaking\strouble :test.example.org 367 testtest #channel *!*@badhost.example.org setter 1697422222
S: :test.example.org 368 testtest #channel :End of Channel Ban List

When the mode is being set, the note tag can be added to it: @bnote=Testban MODE #channel +b *!*@*

To modify or delete an existing note, or add a new one, a client would have to re-send this MODE command: @bnote MODE #channel +b *!*@badhost.example.org

Please comment if you have some better ideas or I've missed something obvious.

How would this work with setting multiple list modes at once?

The simplest (and probably acceptable) solution would be to set the same note to all added entries.
