Matching Extbans
Matching extended bans can be used with channel modes +b, +e, and +I in place of the normal nick!user@host argument.
| Extban | Description |

Acting Extbans
Acting extended bans can be used with channel modes +b and +e as a prefix to the nick!user@host argument. Descriptions assume that the extban is being used as a ban (channel mode +b), which will prevent the specified user from performing an action. When extbans are used in a ban exception (channel mode +e), they allow the specified user to perform an action or bypass a restriction.
| Extban | Description |

| A: | Prevents the specified user from inviting other users to the channel. |
| c: | Blocks messages containing color or control codes from the specified user. |
