More about "/ban" or "/mode <+|->b":

A ban is set up like this: NICK!USERNAME@HOST
Stars (*) are wild-cards, in this case, using to ban everything that matches in that particular section. You can customize the ban however you want, but it is generally better to use wild-cards for everything except the hostname.
To ban someone with the host "Dumb.Jerk", simply type:
	/mode +b *!*@Dumb.Jerk
to ban anyone with the hostname Dumb.Jerk

More about Mute bans:
A mute ban is set up like this: m:NICK!USERNAME@HOST
