Hello!
XEP-0045 Section 9.1 defines that:
- a user cannot be banned by an admin with a lower affiliation.
- if an admin or owner attempts to ban himself, the service MUST deny
the request.
Section 9.2, that deals with modifying the ban list of a room
(potentially applying changes that affect more than one participant)
does not mention these cases. It stands to reason that similar
definitions must apply.
Yes, I think Section 9.2 should at least refer back to the rules already
defined in Section 9.1.
To me, this raises the question of dealing with ban
list modification
requests that contain both 'valid' as well as 'invalid' modifications. I
do not believe that the XEP clearly specifies how to deal with these. I
would think that the entire request is to be rejected (as opposed to
only the 'valid' modifications' be applied). Can we add this explicitly
in the XEP?
Because I believe there is no easy way to communicate to the sender
which parts of the modification request are valid and which are invalid,
I suggest that none of the requested changes should be applied until the
request is corrected.
