[IRCServices] RE: my recent feature request

[Craig McLure]

heh, i think we are all still recovering from christmas, i've not seen 
many posts here over that season.

I personally (and i think andy would have the same responce, i've gotten 
to know him over the past few years), would shoot down this idea, it has 
quite a large potential to be abused, if you write a patch, ensure only 
specific IPs can issue the command, otherwise you will have users just 
making scripts which periodicly register nicks, and you'll only become 
suspicious when your nick.db is 3gigs big :p

My approach would be a seperate module, which deals with the command, 
whether its an 'extention' to nickserv with a new command, or a 
completly new service which manages it (The second is the method we used 
for our web interface), that way, you could also publish your work, and 
give the others the benifit of your experiance (but ofc, thats up to you).

As for a feature request 'process', just post ideas to the list, they 
will be read over, if not responded too.
