 Bans, quiets and invite and ban exemptions conventionally accept the format
 `nick!user@host`. On freenode another syntax, known as "extban", is accepted.
 These entries have the general format `$X` or `$X:data`. Optionally, they can
-be negated with a ~: `$~T`.
+be negated with a tilde (`~`) before the character: for example, `$~a` matches
+every user that is *not* identified to services.
