[IRCServices] Some help on cooding

[Pinto, Joao Luis (J.)]

Does not work with supported servers ???
I thaugth services were supporting +r mode change and nick protection with
change to GuestXXXX, 
If I am not wrong to be able to do this you need SVSMODE and SVSNICK.

just

Humm :), all communications between serves follow the same path, this means
if you send SVSNICK folowed byt SVSMODE, SVSNICK will alaways arrive first,
just after making the nick change the ircd will process the SVSMODE, the
problem can be if the user changes his nick, before the SVSNICK or SVSMODE
arrives to his server, in the first case, SVSNICK will not change their nick
because it will not found the source nick when the message arrives to the
nick server, the same fault will happen SVSMODE. 
Remember that this typle of problem also allows to gain voice on any empty
registered channelwith current services, byt just using an alias that JOIN
#Channel, and MODE #Channel +v yourick, services will only remove your op
after you had voiced yourself. So, voices/bans/topic changes can be "hacked"
on empty channels due to this syncronization problem, like someone said
before on this ML, this problem can only be fixed by some integration
between ircd/services.

P.S.: 
Since I dont have this problem on my network this is just a theory.

     Aside from the fact that it doesn't work with supported servers, as
Andrew Kempe mentioned, this makes it impossible to _not_ change your nick
when you use RELEASE.  Granted, there probably aren't many cases where you
wouldn't want to, but if it's really such a pain to type "/nick nick",
write an alias in your client, don't try to do it in Services.  (I do agree
that using a password with RELEASE should identify you for that nick.)
