1011 Extbans are split into two types; matching extbans, which match on
1012 users in additional ways, and acting extbans, which restrict users
1013 in different ways to a standard ban.
1015 To use an extban, simply set +b <ban> or +e <ban> with it as the ban,
1016 instead of a normal nick!user@host mask, to ban or exempt matching
1017 users. Ban exceptions on acting extbans exempt that user from matching
1018 an extban of that type, and from any channel mode corresponding to the
1019 restriction. Matching extbans may also be used for invite exceptions by
1020 setting +I <extban>.
1024 j:#channel Matches anyone in #channel. Does not support wildcards
1025 for #channel (requires channelban module).
1026 r:realname Matches users with a matching realname (requires gecosban

1045 A:<ban> Blocks invites by matching users even when +A is set
1046 (requires allowinvite module).
1047 B:<ban> Blocks all capital or nearly all capital messages from

1062 A ban given to an acting extban may either be a nick!user@host mask,
1063 matched against users as for a normal ban, or a matching extban.
