Extended Ban Tutorial
* Extensions to old bans * New bans
1 - 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.
2 - 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
