1014 Extbans are split into two types; matching extbans, which match on
1015 users in additional ways, and acting extbans, which restrict users
1016 in different ways to a standard ban.
1018 To use an extban, simply set +b <ban> or +e <ban> with it as the ban,
1019 instead of a normal nick!user@host mask, to ban or exempt matching
1020 users. Ban exceptions on acting extbans exempt that user from matching
1021 an extban of that type, and from any channel mode corresponding to the
1022 restriction. Matching extbans may also be used for invite exceptions by
1023 setting +I <extban>.
1027 j:#channel Matches anyone in #channel. Does not support wildcards
1028 for #channel (requires channelban module).
1029 r:realname Matches users with a matching realname (requires gecosban
1031 s:server Matches users on a matching server (requires serverban
1033 z:fingerprint Matches users with a matching ssl fingerprint (requires
1035 O:opertype Matches IRCops of a matching type, mostly useful as an
1036 an invite exception (requires operchans module).

1048 A:<ban> Blocks invites by matching users even when +A is set
1049 (requires allowinvite module).
1050 B:<ban> Blocks all capital or nearly all capital messages from

1065 A ban given to an acting extban may either be a nick!user@host mask,
1066 matched against users as for a normal ban, or a matching extban.
