34<PRE> Our network runs with LIST and LISTEMAIL restricted to admins only...
35so personally I like LISTLINKS the way that it is. I think you're right
36that someone might not want the fact that they go by several nicknames
37intentionally exposed.
38 Although what might be useful is a command to confirm if two nicknames
39are linked. If you have a channel registered, you can already do this
40in a rather roundabout fashion. Let's say that a user has NicknameA,
41NicknameB and NicknameC linked, with the main nickname being NicknameA.
42 I (as another regular user) want to know if NicknameB and NicknameC are
43linked. I can just add NicknameB to my channel's access list at some
44level, and then list the access list. ChanServ will then tell me the
45access level of NicknameA, so I can see that NicknameA and NicknameB are
46linked. And then of course, I can tell ChanServ to remove NicknameC
47from the access list (which will of course work, and NicknameA will no
48longer appear.) So then I know that those three nicknames are linked
49together... if that explanation made any sense at all. :)
50 I guess after writing that, I feel like maybe it isn't worth trying to
51hide nickname links, since there are ways a determined user can find out
52anyway...
