The \"if ( $banmask iswm $address($me,0) )\" really should be changed to \"if ($banmask iswm $address($me,5))\", then the if \"($banmask == !@*)\" section wouldn\'t be necessary. Also, that\'s just a basic ban protection, and that\'s ONLY if you are still opped. Most of the time, people do -o+b anyway.
