Bans take one parameter which can take several forms. The most common
form is ``+b nick!user@host``. The wildcards ``*`` and ``?`` are allowed, matching
zero-or-more, and exactly-one characters respectively. The masks will be
trimmed to fit the maximum allowable length for the relevant element.
Bans are also checked against the IP address, even if it resolved or is
spoofed. CIDR is supported, like ``*!*@10.0.0.0/8``. This is most useful
with IPv6. Bans are not checked against the real hostname behind any
kind of spoof, except if host mangling is in use (e.g.
``extensions/ip_cloaking.so``): if the user's host is mangled, their
real hostname is checked additionally, and if a user has no spoof but
could enable mangling, the mangled form of their hostname is checked
additionally. Hence, it is not possible to evade bans by toggling host
mangling.

The second form (extban) is ``+b $type`` or ``+b $type:data``. type is a single
character (case insensitive) indicating the type of match, optionally
preceded by a tilde (``~``) to negate the comparison. data depends on type.
Each type is loaded as a module. The available types (if any) are listed
in the EXTBAN token of the 005 (``RPL_ISUPPORT``) numeric. See
``doc/extban.txt`` in the source distribution for more information.

This can be useful if it is necessary to ban an entire ISP due to
persistent abuse, but some users from that ISP should still be allowed
in. For example: ``/mode #channel +be *!*@*.example.com *!*someuser@host3.example.com``
in. For example::
/mode #channel +be *!*@*.example.com *!*someuser@host3.example.com

``+f``, channel forwarding
--------------------------
This mode takes one parameter, the name of a channel (``+f #channel``). If
the channel also has the ``+i`` cmode set, and somebody attempts to join
without either being expliticly invited, or having an invex (``+I``), then
they will instead join the channel named in the mode parameter. The
client will also be sent a 470 numeric giving the original and target
channels.
