The plug alias/ban .dll (zip command one) has a error that mods or smods can ban/zip/sielnce some one of higher acess hwo can you prevent this? And is there anything created in bots info that allows you to remove bans through FTP? Or some .txt file that stores this info?

The alias plugin only uses alias.dat to store its alias information. !zip's aren't stored in any files, so basically they can't be modified through FTP.

Use a good biller, like catid's.

Isnt this on a website somewhere? I have a copy and I don't remember getting it from catid.

Oh I overlooked the src.zip inside the alias.zip file from catid's site.
Indeed, the source is available. Maybe some bot coder will fix the bug for you, camel.

The alias plugin is useless...

I am using better alternatives aswell, yes.
However, what do you find useless about it? I don't find it useless at all.

It's deprecated by good billers. They serve the purpose much better.

Indeed.

Catid's biller for instance:
?info
?ban
?seen
?kick

As well, the ?ban goes through recycles and can go for a much longer period of time.

Speaking of which, what is the max. time ?ban can go up to? I figure 20 years, but I am not exactly sure on that.

Yes, but the SSC biller doesn't serve that feature (at least, not to the public - BanG uses it though).

It has a hardcoded limit of 5000 days, which is 13-14 years.

Huh? BanG is the SSC biller. Unless you're talking about subbill, which just shouldn't be used anymore.

BanG isn't the SSC Biller. BanG is a feature of the SSC Biller.
You can't ?alias with the SSC biller, however BanG uses some alias features to catch people bypassing.

OK, let's be pedantic. It's a part of it.

You knew what I meant.
