Hi Eike, 

unfortunately that won't cover my main usecase, which is efficiency. When I see
a problematic user I want to quiet / ban, then I know what is the most
efficient way to do so  (e.g. if it is a cloaked account, I probably do a host
ban. If it is a shared host, I probably go with an ident+host combination to
not affect third parties). 

So actually I would like to provide something that is fast to type, nick works
best since that is tab-completable. And along with this I'd like to specify on
which of the 3 possibilities (nick, ident, host. If domain makes sense in some
networks, maybe that as well. But I never found a usecase for that). 

So I have no problem with a "longer" option that I can alias to, but I'd still
like to have a short and efficient way to say on which parts I'd like the ban
to match and to be efficient in setting the ban/quiet, that is why specifying
the nick only is what I propose.  Typing parts like the ident or host manually
ends up with the situation explained above: either you have to do (slow) manual
typing, or copy&paste which might not work very well in stressful situations. 

>From a usabilty point of view I do understand and agree that the existing
behaviour should not be changed. This is why I would be happy with an option or
a different command that I can just alias to. 

In fact if I can create short aliases for the most used combinations (e.g.
ident and host, only host) that would be great as well, but keeping the options
short would help wrt efficiency. If they have to be as long as the current ones
(which work, but are not "complete", as not all combinations that make sense
are possible): I just alias it. 

Thanks for considering it :) 

Kind regards

Fuchs
