  34 <PRE>in probably everycase other then mine I would completely agree with you.
  35 But, i have this running in a call center and I am try to opress the
  36 lowly phone jockeys from abuse.  The whole server is restricted, no
  37 arbitrary channels, no join unless registered, no voice unless the nick
  38 is authorized (by access list).  So i want to take away the right to
  39 change the nick when auth'd so that users adhere to the strict naming
  40 convention wihout intervention on my part. (make my life easier).
  41
  42 Anyways, thanks for the tip.  I run UnrealIRCD 3.1 so if you happen
  43 to know how to on that daemon, the help would be appreciated.
  44
  45 Thanks

  55 Hello;
  56
  57 Generally, such a change may be done by modifying your irc server, so
  58 that nick changes while the user exist cannot be done by identified
  59 (mostly UMODE_r) users.
  60
  61 On the other hand, even if you manage this only on services side, you
  62 take _away_ the &quot;right&quot; to change nicks, and therefore &quot;hide&quot; from
  63 disturbing users from a certain group of people, the registered users,
  64 so that unregistered users may continously change their nicknames, and
  65 disturb others, and the registered users cannot defeat themselves by
  66 changing nicks.
  67
  68 You must consider this as an annoying &quot;Feature&quot; should you really
  69 implement this. Assumptions about ignore lists may exist, but ignore
  70 lists are eventually too small, if it comes to terms of a DDOS attack of
  71 nick changing bots which privmsg your users...
