136 +   'squit', and 'kill' flags for better fine-tuning instead. Whether or
137 +   not a specific action is allowed on a remote server can be controlled
138 +   by appending the ':remote' flag. For example: 'kill' allows only local

160 + o) Fixed bug where bans were not checked against non-channel members when
161 +   sending messages to a channel
