We've recently added support for extended bans, which allow you to have more control over your channel's ban list.
The proper syntax for these types of bans is as follows:
/mode #channel +b ~type:mask
The following types of extended bans are supported:
| Type | Name | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| ~a | Account | If a user's account name matches this ban, (s)he will be unable to join. |
| ~c | Channel | If a user is in a channel that matches this ban, (s)he will be unable to join. |
| ~j | Shared Bans | If a user matches a ban on the channel who's ban list is being shared, (s)he will be unable to join. |
| ~n | Nick Change | If a user matches this ban, (s)he will be unable to change their nickname while in the channel. |
| ~q | Quiet | If a user matches this bans, (s)he will be unable to send messages to the channel. |
| ~r | Realname | If a user's realname (gcos) matches this ban, (s)he will be unable to join. |
| ~t | Text | Allows you to specify text that will be blocked if a user's privmsg or notice to the channel contains it. * and ? wildcards supported. |
In This Guide: |
Quiet and Nick Change
~q and ~n, are similar to old bans, except that they allow you to control what a user can do without preventing them from joining the channel. ~q will prevent users matching the ban from sending messages to the channel, while ~n will prevent them from changing their nickname.
Syntax:
/mode #channel +b ~q:nick!ident@host
/mode #channel +b ~n:nick!ident@host
So, for example, if you wanted to allow AOL users to join the channel, but prevent them from speaking, you could set the following ~q extended ban:
/mode #channel +b ~q:*!*@*.aol.com
If you wanted to prevent AOL users from changing their nickname while in your channel, you could set the following ~n extended ban:
/mode #channel +b ~n:*!*@*.aol.com
Channel and Realname
~c and ~r are channel and real name bans. When ~c is used, anyone who is currently in a channel that matches the ban will not be able to join. When ~r is used, no one whose real name (gcos) matches the ban will be able to join (note: ~r treats _ as both the character _ and a space).
Syntax:
/mode #channel +b ~c:#channel
/mode #channel +b ~r:realname
So, for example, if you wanted to prevent users who are in any channel containing the word warez from joining your channel, you could set the following ~c extended ban:
/mode #channel +b ~c:#*warez*
If, for example, you wanted to prevent users with the word bot in their real name (gcos) from joininf the channel, you could set the following ~r extended ban:
/mode #channel +b ~r:*bot*
Reverse Logic
If "!" is specified in an extended channel or realname ban, then it will have a reverse effect. For example, an extended channel ban on #darenet with the "!" flag will prevent anyone from joining if they are not in #darenet.
Syntax:
/mode #channel +b ~!<type>:mask
Examples:
/mode #channel +b ~!c:#warez
/mode #channel +b ~!r:*cool*
