Metabans plugin for Big Brother Bot (www.bigbrotherbot.net)
===========================================================

By Courgette


Description
-----------

This plugin will link your game server to your Metabans account.

As such :
 - all bans found from your Metabans account will be applied on the server.
 - all bans made from B3 will be sent to Metabans
 - when a player connects to your game server, its status will be checked from
   your Metabans account and B3 will tell connected admins if that player is 
   marked as watched or protected.
 
This plugin also provides the following commands :
 - !metabanscheck <player> - display Metabans info for player
 - !metabanswatch <player> [<reason>] - mark a player as watched
 - !metabansprotect <player> [<reason>] - mark a player as protected
 - !metabansclear <player> [<reason>] - clear any Metabans mark on the player
 - !metabanssync - send all active bans and tempbans found on your database to Metabans.com
