If you have the #channel,op capability, this will effect a persistent ban from interacting with the bot on the given <hostmask> (or the current hostmask associated with <nick>). Other plugins may enforce this ban by actually banning users with matching hostmasks when they join. <expires> is an optional argument specifying when (in "seconds from now") the ban should expire; if none is given, the ban will never automatically expire. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.
If you have the #channel,op capability, this will show you the current persistent bans on the <channel> that match the given mask, if any (returns all of them otherwise). Note that you can use * as a wildcard on masks and \* to match actual * in masks

If you have the #channel,op capability, this will ban <nick> for as many seconds as you specify, otherwise (if you specify 0 seconds or don't specify a number of seconds) it will ban the person indefinitely. --exact can be used to specify an exact hostmask. You can combine the exact, nick, user, and host options as you choose. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.
If you have the #channel,op capability, this will set a persistent ignore on <hostmask> or the hostmask currently associated with <nick>. <expires> is an optional argument specifying when (in "seconds from now") the ignore will expire; if it isn't given, the ignore will never automatically expire. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

If you have the #channel,op capability, this will "lobotomize" the bot, making it silent and unanswering to all requests made in the channel. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.
If you have the #channel,op capability, this will unlobotomize the bot, making it respond to requests made in the channel again. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

Configuration
-------------
supybot.plugins.Channel.alwaysRejoin
This config variable defaults to "True", is network-specific, and is channel-specific.
Determines whether the bot will always try to rejoin a channel whenever it's kicked from the channel.
supybot.plugins.Channel.nicksInPrivate
This config variable defaults to "True", is network-specific, and is channel-specific.
Determines whether the output of 'nicks' will be sent in private. This prevents mass-highlights of a channel's users, accidental or on purpose.
supybot.plugins.Channel.partMsg
This config variable defaults to "Limnoria $version", is network-specific, and is channel-specific.
Determines what part message should be used by default. If the part command is called without a part message, this will be used. If this value is empty, then no part message will be used (they are optional in the IRC protocol). The standard substitutions ($version, $nick, etc.) are all handled appropriately.
supybot.plugins.Channel.public
This config variable defaults to "True", is not network-specific, and is not channel-specific.
Determines whether this plugin is publicly visible.
supybot.plugins.Channel.rejoinDelay
This config variable defaults to "0", is network-specific, and is channel-specific.
Determines how many seconds the bot will wait before rejoining a channel if kicked and supybot.plugins.Channel.alwaysRejoin is on.
