That does indeed make a difference...

In this case, the bot doing the kick sees the ban being placed on the channel, rather than placing it there itself, and hence uses the standard reason.

Which I believe I already mentioned in an earlier post?

Ok I just noticed that the 1 bot sets the ban the other kicks.
I have Tbot1 Tbot2 Tbot1 is the main and Tbot2 is the leaf so I am not sure if this makes a difference.
Tbot2 sets mode: +b *!*TEST@Cb79c.net.cable.rogers.com
Tbot2 sets mode: +o TEST
Tbot1 sets mode: +o TEST
*TEST was kicked by Tbot1 (Banned)

I'm puzzled..
All else I could think of would be conflicting global and channel bans..

One other thing to ask, just for sake of following every possible avenue. He may just have his net-type set incorrectly and other odd behaviors are also happening besides just lacking a reason with a properly set bot-ban. This is an often overlooked setting.

And I guess there are no +k users (or +dk) in your userlist matching the offender either? (.match +k)

Could you verify that the bot banning is the very same bot that also kicks?
In some cases, network lag and penalty points causes the other bot to see the ban (and do the kick with standard reason) before the first one manages to kick the offender.

Ok I am still confused. There are no bans on channel. This is the first ban listed so I still dont follow why the reason is not showing.
I have 1 linked bot but that uses the masters userdb and then ban / ban reason is the same.

Also worth keeping in mind, if your eggdrop sees the ban being placed (other than by its builtin kick/ban mechanisms), it will use the default ban reason. That includes if some other user and/or bot sets the ban in question, as well as having a custom script doing the banning, and "bypassed" bans already present in the channel (only applicable on some irc servers).

Or, more specific, the ban comment will only be used as kick-reason if the ban is not already placed on the channel, your eggdrop's internal mechanisms detect that this ban should be activated, and it does the banning and kicking itself.

But I dont want the same message for everyone. If I do a ban with a reason shouldn't it say the reason?

It will if you make sure there isn't any other ban set that preceeds it. Eggdrop bans in order of appearance in the ban list. You should be able to type .bans and see if any other ban (without a reason) is happening before the ban your expecting to happen. What that means is the person your trying to ban more than likely fits the mask on more than one ban. The ban affecting them has no reason and comes before the ban your setting with a reason.

I'm confused. I know it won't expire, thats fine. If I don't give a reason how does it know what to say for ban reason??

In your /eggdrop/language folder you will find core.*.lang (* being the language you set your bot to) just find the part below:

# IRC_
0x600,Banned

This is the default ban message your eggdrop will use when no reason is given. Changing this changes the default message. You can customize almost every eggdrop message in this maner.

Note as well that since your ban doesn't mention which channel to enforce it within, the eggdrop will enforce it globally on all channels it has ops in.
