Extended Bans

Extended Bans are an extension of channel ban-matching modes which allow fine control over who can do what on your channel.

Matching Extended Bans

These extbans extend the regular +b and +e channel modes to allow for matching on other criteria, and are applied like so:

/mode +b <extban> - Bans based on extban

/mode +e <extban> - Adds an exception based on extban

Extended Ban	Description	Example
j:[state][#channel]	Matches if the user is also on the specified channel.	/mode +b j:#badchan /mode +b j:@#badchan (Matches ops on #badchan)
r:[gecos]	Matches against a real name (GECOS) field.	/mode +b r:BadBot
R:[account]	Matches registered nicks that are registered to an account.	/mode +b R:BadUser

Acting Extended Bans

Modes that restrict certain channel activity also have corresponding extended bans so they can be applied to certain users only. They are applied with channel modes +b and +e in the regular hostmask syntax of nick!user@host.

/mode +b <extban>:<mask> - Blocks users matching the mask from performing the specified activity

/mode +e <extban>:<mask> - Allows users matching the mask to perform the specified activity.

A:[mask]	Blocks user from using /invite.	/mode +b A:*!*@bad.host.name.example.com
