34 | <PRE>>>><i> Listing linked nicks isn't a good idea, 2 main reasons ... makes it feel | |
35 | </I>>>><i> like privacy is violated. If you have one of my nicks ... you have all of | |
36 | </I>>>><i> them ... second, spamming becomes a bit easier, again you have a list of | |
37 | </I>>>><i> nicks ... | |
38 | </I>>><i> | |
39 | </I>>><i> Uh, maybe you misinterpreted slightly. What I meant was for something like: | |
40 | </I>>><i> | |
41 | </I>>><i> /nickserv LISTLINKS <nick> | |
42 | </I>>><i> | |
43 | </I>>><i> which in my case would list something like: | |
44 | </I>>><i> | |
45 | </I>>><i> *** chromatix is Jonathan Morton | |
46 | </I>>><i> *** chromatix also owns mortonjd, QuadraServ, PowerMac8100ServPro, jon, geek | |
47 | </I>><i> | |
48 | </I>><i> | |
49 | </I>><i>the above is a list of nicks that can now be used for spamming purposes, I | |
50 | </I>><i>don't think I missunderstood at all. | |
51 | </I> | |
52 | OK, so how does the spammer get hold of the first nick to get the whole | |
53 | list? Most likely the nick they already have is the only one online at | |
54 | that point in time. Even with that list, all that can happen (in the worst | |
55 | case) is that one person gets multiple copies of the spam. Not | |
56 | particularly useful. From a spammer's point of view, I don't see any | |
57 | information that can be got from this command that can't be got with less | |
58 | effort from other places. | |
