Forums mIRC Help Ignoring a user with an IPv6

I had to ignore a user who changes nicknames almost every 10 minutes.
I tried to do an /ignore *!*@2a02:a03f:1a18:4600:88ce:5cc5:7ce5:2483 (for example) but this didn't work.
Is it possible to ignore the address of a user when it is an IPv6? And if yes how of course?

Many thanks in advance.

PS: I used the forum search but couldn't find anything related.

How did it not work? Did it not add it or just wasn't effective?

You should have seen
* Added *!*@2a02:a03f:1a18:4600:88ce:5cc5:7ce5:2483 to ignore list

when you did: //ignore TheNickGoesHere 2

Since this is a type 2 mask, you should see it when asking mirc to list an exact matching entry:

//echo -a $ignore($address( TheNickGoesHere ,2) )

By default, /ignore is applied only against a single $network, so if you created the entry from the wrong status window you might need to go back into the Control tab of your address book and edit that entry, clearing the box listing the name of the wrong network, or replacing it with the correct $network value.

If you're expecting /ignore to make it so you don't see "* nick1 is now known as nick2", that's something completely different, and would require a script to mute those.

Also, make sure this says ignore is on: /ignore

The actual ignore list shows the line. It is just not working.

This is how my actual ignore list looks like and it concerns the last line.

I found 3 nicks using ipv6 addresses, and I was able to suppress their VERSION reply using "/ignore Nickname 2" which generates the last line of your ignore list. It didn't matter that 2 of the 3 had consecutive :: in their address. Their /away message still leaked through, but that is to be expected because this comes from raw 301, where $nick is $server.

I tested on the 7.51 beta, but I get the same results in 6.35.

Also, make sure this answers that it's a match:



Another possibility is the accented vowel in the $network value. Try editing the entry to remove the name of the network, to see if that fixes it. Though that shouldn't cause a problem for this nick without affecting the others.

I will try this later today, thank you very much for your help.
