-You did not ask a memo question that has an answer, you made a feature
-request. The nick prefix has nothing to do with memos.

-I assume the developer decided that but I am more than happy for it to
-be that way and would request it to be so or avoid the package if it was
-not. Users may have linked nicks that they do not want everybody to know
-of. Allowing access to any user will mean they just register separate
-nicks again which is more work for them and defeats the advantages of
-the link system.

-That is hardly a services issue. The IRCd would be the place to add
-false delays into the login process.
-
-I doubt users would welcome having a connection to the network paused
-for such a reason.
-
-><i> Most users I know don't tend to make a

-Many users do not check memos on a regular basis either so spamming via
-memoserv would just fill their memo box and they are still are not
-guaranteed to be read. They could also add you to their ignore list so
-your message would not get through in any case.
-

-</I>
-You stated in your original message that there were alternative services
-packages that provide this. You also said you would not consider using
-logonnews. Pointing out the obvious seemed a pointless exercise.
-
-As suggested above, "mass memos" would not solve your "problem".
