1012 Extbans are split into two types; matching extbans, which match on
1013 users in additional ways, and acting extbans, which restrict users
1014 in different ways to a standard ban.
1016 To use an extban, simply set +b <ban> or +e <ban> with it as the ban,
1017 instead of a normal nick!user@host mask, to ban or exempt matching
1018 users. Ban exceptions on acting extbans exempt that user from matching
1019 an extban of that type, and from any channel mode corresponding to the
1020 restriction. Matching extbans may also be used for invite exceptions by
1021 setting +I <extban>.

1026 for #channel (requires channelban module).
