<PRE>It wouldn't work for RPGWorlds, a Role Playing network that I maintain
services/ircd for.  Since people play many characters at one time, it would
corrupt the privacy each player has, because you could easily figure out
which other characters a user has.

So if this option was implemented, which would be quite easy to do so I
believe, it should be configurable.

Just my opinion...

Adam

&gt;<i> &gt;Listing linked nicks isn't a good idea, 2 main reasons ... makes it feel
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;like privacy is violated. If you have one of my nicks ... you have all of
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;them ... second, spamming becomes a bit easier, again you have a list of
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;nicks ...
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Uh, maybe you misinterpreted slightly.  What I meant was for something
</I>like:
&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> /nickserv LISTLINKS &lt;nick&gt;
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> which in my case would list something like:
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> *** chromatix is Jonathan Morton
</I>&gt;<i> *** chromatix also owns mortonjd, QuadraServ, PowerMac8100ServPro, jon,
</I>geek
&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> This information does not benefit a spammer, since they only have the list
</I>&gt;<i> for onw person.  Privacy is a more difficult topic (since everyone has
</I>&gt;<i> different ideas about it) but I don't see how this information could be
</I>&gt;<i> abused significantly in other ways.  Perhaps a server-admin preference
</I>&gt;<i> would be indicated here.  Clearly, individual choice would be
</I>&gt;<i> counter-productive, given the original reasons for suggesting this
</I>feature!
