Extended bans

Extended Bans are a special type of bans (+b), exempts (+e) and invite exceptions (+I) providing "extended" functionality.

These bans start with a tilde, followed by a letter denoting the extban type. For example +b ~q denotes a quiet extban. UnrealIRCd comes with a number of built-in extbans (loaded through Modules). 3rd party modules may introduce even more types.

The following ban types specify which actions (join, nick-change or speaking) are affected by a ban:

These bantypes introduce new criteria which can be used:

You may also stack extended bans from the first group with the second. For example: +b ~q:~c:#lamers would quiet all users who have joined #lamers.

Ban types from the second group can be used in invite exceptions (+I). For example you can put the channel +i and then use +I ~c:#trusted and/or +I ~a:accountname.
