  34 <PRE>it would be great if such a 'reason' parameter was optional, and filled with a null value if not specified. This way users can continue to use the old style of the command if they wish to, without having to memorize a new way of issuing the command, and people who want to specify reasons can.

  37 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> it seems to me that nickserv and chanserv FORBID are designed for
  38 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> nicks and channels in which something is wrong with the nick
  39 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> or channel *name*, and not the person or group of people involved.
  40 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>
  41 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> Therefore, when using forbid, the reason for forbidding that
  42 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> nickname/channel name should be obvious.
  43 </I>&gt;<i>
  44 </I>&gt;<i>On my network, we often have to forbid channels for reasons other than the
  45 </I>&gt;<i>name. When I look at our forbidden list, I can't tell why half of them are
  46 </I>&gt;<i>forbidden, and I have to check my IRC client logs. A reason would be great.
