Is it possible to ban a user is his nick name contains certain characters? Or is there a script to do this?
Thanks

Hmm.. Correct me if I'm wrong. But can't that be done with like:

.+ban *foo*!*@*

to ban every nick containing the string "foo"?! I think that should do it..

No that will just ban his identd
not his nick name currently in use.

No, that would kick his nickname!

Note the tha *foo* is before the !, which means the nickname.

Bans come in the form <nickname>!<ident>@<hostname>

So, if you don't want your local idiot to coem in with a ` in his nickname, that you would use *`*!*@*
