Allow wildcards in mod-related commands
This is an idea I had that'd help us moderators ban waves of bots with just one command, rather than having to ban individually. Similar to how in the AutoMod filters we can put wildcards in blocked terms to block variations, I think it would be useful to have that same feature when it comes to banning usernames. A lot of bots tend to have similar names but with different strings on the end, and adding wildcards would let us ban all accounts starting with the string they have in common.
For example, if there were a wave of bots with names starting with "abcdefg" and then a string of characters, instead of having to go through and ban "abcdefg4ttge", "abcdefg34tgsg"... etc., a mod could just type in "/ban abcdefg" and all accounts starting with "abcdefg_" would be banned ( is the wildcard character).

My title feels pretty self-explanatory. There are bots that have the same pattern in their name who keeps following/unfollowing me and people I support.
A known one is "hoss00312_" (the underscore is kind of important).
Instead of manually going through and typing;
/ban hoss00312_1
/ban hoss00312_2
...
It would be nice (as a mod, almost a streamer) to just be able to type:
/ban hoss00312_*
--- and all the hoss bots would be banned.-----
To prevent abuse the command, like;
"/ban *"
Check for an alphanumerical before or after the wildcard, maybe a minimum of 3 characters should be required.
