1001 Extbans are split into two types; matching extbans, which match on
1002 users in additional ways, and acting extbans, which restrict users
1003 in different ways to a standard ban.
1005 To use an extban, simply set +b <ban> or +e <ban> with it as the ban,
1006 instead of a normal nick!user@host mask, to ban or exempt matching
1007 users. Ban exceptions on acting extbans exempt that user from matching
1008 an extban of that type, and from any channel mode corresponding to the
1009 restriction. Matching extbans may also be used for invite exceptions by
1010 setting +I <extban>.
1014 j:#channel Matches anyone in #channel. Does not support wildcards
1015 for #channel (requires channelban module).
1016 r:realname Matches users with a matching realname (requires gecosban
1018 s:server Matches users on a matching server (requires serverban
1020 z:fingerprint Matches users with a matching ssl fingerprint (requires
1022 O:opertype Matches IRCops of a matching type, mostly useful as an
1023 an invite exception (requires operchans module).
1024 R:account Matches users logged into a matching account (requires

1029 c:<ban> Blocks any messages that contain color codes from
1030 matching users (requires blockcolor module).
1031 m:<ban> Blocks messages from matching users (requires muteban
1032 module). Users with +v or above are not affected.
1033 p:<ban> Blocks part messages from matching users (requires
1035 A:<ban> Blocks invites by matching users even when +A is set
1036 (requires allowinvite module).
1037 B:<ban> Blocks all capital or nearly all capital messages from
1038 matching users (requires blockcaps module).
1039 C:<ban> Blocks CTCPs from matching users (requires noctcp
1041 N:<ban> Blocks nick changes from matching users (requires

1049 U:<ban> Blocks unregistered users matching the given ban.
1050 (requires m_services_account)
1052 A ban given to an acting extban may either be a nick!user@host mask,
1053 matched against users as for a normal ban, or a matching extban.
1055 There is an additional special type of extended ban, a redirect ban:
1057 Redirect n!u@h#channel will redirect the banned user to #channel
