999 Extbans are split into two types; matching extbans, which match on
1000 users in additional ways, and acting extbans, which restrict users
1001 in different ways to a standard ban.
1003 To use an extban, simply set +b <ban> or +e <ban> with it as the ban,
1004 instead of a normal nick!user@host mask, to ban or exempt matching
1005 users. Ban exceptions on acting extbans exempt that user from matching
1006 an extban of that type, and from any channel mode corresponding to the
1007 restriction. Matching extbans may also be used for invite exceptions by
1008 setting +I <extban>.
1012 j:#channel Matches anyone in #channel. Does not support wildcards
1013 for #channel (requires channelban module).
1014 r:realname Matches users with a matching realname (requires gecosban

1034 (requires allowinvite module).
1035 B:<ban> Blocks all capital or nearly all capital messages from
