[IRCServices] Suggestions and Bug Report

[Andrew Church]

     Just a note to everyone:  I'm not ignoring you all. (:  Work is
very busy at the moment and it's hard enough to even find time to
answer mail, much less work on Services.  Things should settle down
a bit next month, so please be patient until then.

>    -1- Program to have nickserv autochange nick with /ns identify 
>password [Nick]    -   If a nick is stuck and joining back with another

>Password match, if matched kill MyNick which is currently online and 
>change MyNickAlt to MyNick and being identified of course w/o having to 
>identify again. 

     Rather than needing an extra command, I think it would be more
reasonable to just record the fact that the password was given in the
GHOST command so the user doesn't have to identify again after changing
nicks.  I'm considering this for 5.0.

>    -2-  Have services save the last GuestXXX that was used if it's not 
>approaching 4B mark, so that if you restart services for some reasons, 
>services won't try to change registered nicknames to the same GuestXXX 
>that was change before services restarted.   Example: if my nick was 
>changed to Guest0  then restart services, services will attempt to 
>change someone else to Guest0 and person will get collided ;)

     This has already been fixed for 5.0.  In the meantime, just don't
restart Services so often. ;)

     This is no help; please read the FAQ for what to do when submitting
a bug report.
