  34 <PRE>Hello;
  35
  36 Generally, such a change may be done by modifying your irc server, so
  37 that nick changes while the user exist cannot be done by identified
  38 (mostly UMODE_r) users.
  39
  40 On the other hand, even if you manage this only on services side, you
  41 take _away_ the &quot;right&quot; to change nicks, and therefore &quot;hide&quot; from
  42 disturbing users from a certain group of people, the registered users,
  43 so that unregistered users may continously change their nicknames, and
  44 disturb others, and the registered users cannot defeat themselves by
  45 changing nicks.
  46
  47 You must consider this as an annoying &quot;Feature&quot; should you really
  48 implement this. Assumptions about ignore lists may exist, but ignore
  49 lists are eventually too small, if it comes to terms of a DDOS attack of
  50 nick changing bots which privmsg your users...

  52 Regards;
