1021 Extbans are split into two types; matching extbans, which match on
1022 users in additional ways, and acting extbans, which restrict users
1023 in different ways to a standard ban.
1025 To use an extban, simply set +b <ban> or +e <ban> with it as the ban,
1026 instead of a normal nick!user@host mask, to ban or exempt matching
1027 users. Ban exceptions on acting extbans exempt that user from matching
1028 an extban of that type, and from any channel mode corresponding to the
1029 restriction. Matching extbans may also be used for invite exceptions by
1030 setting +I <extban>.
1034 j:<channel> Matches anyone in the given channel. Does not support
1035 wildcards (requires channelban module).
1036 r:<realname> Matches users with a matching realname (requires gecosban
1038 s:<server> Matches users on a matching server (requires serverban
1040 z:<certfp> Matches users having the given SSL certificate
1041 fingerprint (requires sslmodes module).

1043 an invite exception (requires operchans module).

1049 c:<banmask> Blocks any messages that contain color codes from
1050 matching users (requires blockcolor module).

1052 module). Users with +v or above are not affected.
1053 p:<banmask> Blocks part messages from matching users (requires
1055 A:<banmask> Blocks invites by matching users even when +A is set
1056 (requires allowinvite module).
1057 B:<banmask> Blocks all capital or nearly all capital messages from
1058 matching users (requires blockcaps module).
1059 C:<banmask> Blocks CTCPs from matching users (requires noctcp

1076 matched against users as for a normal ban, or a Matching extban.
