Cloaks

TorModBot cannot “dig under” cloaks. Whatever the “top-level” cloak is for a user, that is what we see.

Consider a registered user who has enabled a personal cloak and who connects over Tor. Their real hostname is this-is-a-tor-exit.example.com, OFTC’s IRCd applies a Tor cloak 000000000.tor-irc.dnsbl.oftc.net, and finally nickserv applies their personal cloak 00000000.user.oftc.net. Assuming we “notice” them (e.g. tmb_mod.autovoice sees them JOIN a channel) after nickserv has applied their personal cloak, we won’t recognize them as a Tor user.
