Ban Protection

Here we'll go through auto unbanning yourself on channels. There are a few ways to do it depending on your IRC network, access, and/or preference. Be sure to have your IAL on. IAL can be turned on by typing /ial on in mIRC. There is 2 methods to this. The code below should go into mIRC remotes.

on @!*:ban:#: {
  if ($banmask iswm $address($me,5)) {
    mode # -ob $nick $banmask
    kick # $nick Don't ban me!
  }
}

Above, mIRC listens to bans which aren't set by you when you are op. If the address of the ban matches your address, mIRC deops and kick/bans the user. The downside to the code above is if multiple bans are set, you may not catch them all. You can copy/paste the code above into remotes. Below is method #2.

on @!*:ban:#: {
  if ($banmask iswm $address($me,5)) {
    chanserv unban #
    mode # -o $nick
    kick # $nick Don't ban me!
  }
}

Method #2 assumes the network has channel services, such as ChanServ. Not all IRC networks have services or do not support the /chanserv command. Check your network to see how you should use it. If your IRC network doesn't have channel services, try method #1. This method allows chanserv to unban all matches against you though, so that's an advantage.
