[IRCServices] How does it work

[Andrew Church]

     The nick kill setting only works when a user first connects or changes
nickname (on their own) to the nick in question.  If you absolutely must
disconnect them now, use /kill.  DO NOT use the RAW command to attempt to
enforce nick kill (or nick change) on them; not only will it not work, you
may cause Services to crash.
