Extended Ban Tutorial
* Extensions to old bans * New bans
New Ban Types
With the new IRC software comes the masking of IP/host addresses to secure the privacy of the chatters. Such masked IP/Hostname makes it more difficult to find the real IP/Hostname of someone. the "+x" usermode indicates that masking is active. Ban evasion gets more complicated, a hostname ban matches both masked and unmasked hostnames. Same applies to IP addresses.
New ban modifiers
New in the IRC software are the extended bans. Extended bans have the following syntaxis :
<type>:<stuff>
The different types :
* ~q : quiet * ~n : nickchange ((Anti-Flood features| Anti flood)) * ~c : channel * ~r : realname
~q - Quiet
eg : /mode #channel +b ~q:*!*@*.test.be
05:40 -!- mode/#lounge [+b ~q:*!*@*.test.be] by Jay
chatters matching this banmask are unable to speak unless they have +v or higher.
~n - Nickchange
eg : /mode #channel +b ~n:*!*@*.test.be
05:42 -!- mode/#lounge [+b ~n:*!*@*.test.be] by Jay
chatters matching this banmask are unable to change nickname while they are in that chatroom. Unless they have +v or higher.
~c - Channel
eg : /mode #channel +b ~c:#otherchannel
05:47 -!- mode/#lounge [+b ~c:#lamerz] by Jay

05:50 -!- mode/#lounge [+b ~r:*netbus_pro*] by Jay
