Notes for implementing work-in-progress version 🔗
This is a work-in-progress specification.
Introduction 🔗
The account-notify, account-tag and extended-join specifications allow clients to much more easily know the account names of logged in users. The EXTBAN ISUPPORT token indicates the types of extended ban masks that the server supports, but not their meanings. This specification allows clients to construct ban masks for accounts by indicating which extended ban type matches account names.
The ACCOUNTEXTBAN ISUPPORT token 🔗
Servers publishing the ACCOUNTEXTBAN ISUPPORT token allow clients to construct ban masks matching account names.
Servers publishing the ACCOUNTEXTBAN token MUST also publish the EXTBAN token.
The value of the ACCOUNTEXTBAN token is a comma-separated list of names for the extended ban type which matches account names.
Servers MUST support matching exact account names.
Servers MAY support matching account masks and other server-specific extensions.
Examples 🔗
