We have recently added support for extended bans to ircd-darenet, our server software. Extended bans gives channel operators more flexibility and control over their channel's ban list. The proper syntax for extended bans is as follows:
+
Extended bans allow different checks than the usual nick!user@host (hostmask) match to determine whether someone should be banned from the channel, allowing channel operators more flexibility and control over their channel's ban list. On DareNET, extended bans are of the form '''<code>$[~]<type>:<data></code>'''. Where <type> is one character (case sensitive) and determines the type of match that is to be used. If the tilde (~) is used, the result of the check will be negated.

The following types of extended bans are currently supported:

$q (quiet) and $n (nick change) are similar to normal bans, except that they allow you to control what a user can do without preventing them from joining the channel. $q prevents users matching the ban from sending messages/notices to the channel, while $n prevents them from changing their nickname.

The $a (account) type allows you to ban authed users who's account name matches the specified account mask.

Let's say that we wanted to allow AOL users to join the channel, but prevent them from speaking. This could be achieved by setting the following $q (quiet) extended ban:

The $c (channel) type prevents users who are in a matching channel from joining your channel.

The $r (realname/gecos) type prevents users with a matching realname from joining your channel.

The $j type allows sharing channel ban lists.

Let's say we also want to prevent all users with the word ''bot'' in their realname (gecos) from joining the channel, as well. To do this, we could set the following $r (realname) extended ban:

-
The $a (account) extended ban type allows you to ban (logged in) users who's account matches the specified ban mask. Note, these types of bans can only ever match users logged into their NickServ account.
+
Now, whenever a user tries to join our channel, ''#ourchannel'', they'll be checked against ''#shared''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s ban list in addition to our own ban list. If a match is found in either ban list, the user will be prevented from joining.

NOTE: Extended account bans act identical to the previous method of banning user's based on their account name (e.g. <code>/mode #channel +b *!*@accountname.*</code>); however, the reverse logic function can also be used with extended account bans, which cannot presently do with the old method. We discuss the reverse logic function a little later in this guide.

Extended bans allow different checks than the usual nick!user@host (hostmask) match to determine whether someone should be banned from the channel, allowing channel operators more flexibility and control over their channel's ban list. On DareNET, extended bans are of the form $[~]<type>:<data>. Where <type> is one character (case sensitive) and determines the type of match that is to be used. If the tilde (~) is used, the result of the check will be negated.

The following types of extended bans are currently 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.
$r Realname If a user's realname (gecos) 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.

In This Guide:

Account

The $a (account) type allows you to ban authed users who's account name matches the specified account mask.

Syntax
$a:<mask>

If we wanted to ban all users who's account name contained the word joe, we could set the following $a type extended ban:

/mode #ourchannel +b $a:*joe*

Channel

The $c (channel) type prevents users who are in a matching channel from joining your channel.

Syntax
$c:<#channel>

If we wanted to prevent users who are in channels with the word lame in its name from joining our channel, we could set the following $c type extended ban.

/mode #ourchannel +b $c:#*lame*

Realname

The $r (realname/gecos) type prevents users with a matching realname from joining your channel.

Syntax
$r:<mask>

If we wanted to prevent users who had the word bot in their realname (gecos) from the joining our channel, we could set the following $r type extended ban:

/mode #ourchannel +b $r:*bot*

Shared bans

The $j type allows sharing channel ban lists.

Syntax
$j:<#channel>

For this example, the name of our channel is #ourchannel and we want to use #shared's channel ban list with our own. So, to do this we could set the following $j type extended ban:

/mode #ourchannel +b $j:#shared

Now, whenever a user tries to join our channel, #ourchannel, they'll be checked against #shared's ban list in addition to our own ban list. If a match is found in either ban list, the user will be prevented from joining.

NOTE: The shared channel must not be in +p or +s for this to work

Text bans

The $t (text) type allows channel operators to specify words (wildcards supported) that will be blocked if the user's message or notice to the channel matches it.

Syntax
$t:<#mask>

Let's say we wanted to block all channel messages and notices that contained the word damn, regardless of the user sending it. To do this we could set the following $t type extended ban:

/mode #ourchannel +b $t:*damn*

Negation / Reverse logic

If "~" is prepended to the type of an extended ban, then the result of the comparison is negated. In other words, it will have a reversed effect.

Let's say we wanted to allow users to join our channel ONLY if they're already present in #darenet. To do this, we would set a $c type extended ban, by prepending "~" to the type flag:

/mode #ourchannel +b $~c:#darenet
