Ban user block

This block allows you to ban a user@host mask from connecting to the server. This is the same as adding a /KLINE on IRC.

Syntax
ban user { mask ; reason ; };

The mask is a wildcard string of a user@ip or user@host to ban, it can also be an Extended server ban. The reason is the reason for a ban being placed.

IMPORTANT: A ban user { } block (and a KLINE) is only a local server ban, therefore the user may still connect to other servers on the network. If you want server-wide bans, use the  command (or Remote includes if you insist on configuration files).

Example
ban user { mask *tirc@*.saturn.bbn.com; reason "Idiot"; };
