_Added in 1.9.4_

*$bnick*

Returns the banned/unbanned users nickname, however this would actually only be filled if the banmask itself includes a nickname. If the banmask does not include a nickname, [[$bnick]] is [[$null]].

_This is only filled in the [[on BAN]] and [[on UNBAN]] [[Scripting_Events|event]]._

*Example*

<pre>
on *:BAN:*:echo -ag The banned nick is $bnick

on *:UNBAN:*:echo -ag The unbanned nick is $bnick
</pre>
