Hello!
XEP-0045 Multi-User Chat, section 9.2 defines that the ban list is
always based on a user's bare JID (in the first paragraph).
That same section also defines a matching order (in the last paragraph)
in which items with a full JID are explicitly included.
This seems to contradict each other. Am I misunderstanding this part of
the specification?
Assuming that full JID values aren't to be used on a ban-list, should
the matching order as defined in the XEP be modified to not refer to
full JIDs?
Hallo Guus,
I suspect the spec originally said that matching is done on the basis of
a bare JID <user@domain> and then we tried to align the matching with
Privacy Lists / XEP-0016.
In practice I don't know if MUC implementations allow banning based on a
domain, but in theory that could be a helpful feature (e.g., to block
arbitrary accounts from rogue servers). However, to avoid confusion I
would suggest that banning not take account of the resourcepart.
