the issue is you will end up with a full banlist since having to set bans on a zillion paterns of nicks that are too long rather than just set 1 ban and get them all wich i mentioned few times

like this banmask bans all nicks that are longer than 9 characters and allow all that are 9 or less

/mode #channel +b ?????????*!*@*

thanks, I just made it so that only the nick and not the whole mask were banned, so that changing nick could re-enter

try this:

Code:

set max_nick_len 10bind join - * nick_joinbind nick - * nick_changeproc nick_join {nick uhost hand chan} {  global botnick max_nick_len   if {![botisop $chan]} { return 0 }   if [isbotnick $nick] { return 0 }        if {[string length $nick] > $max_nick_len} {        pushmode $chan +b [maskhost $uhost 2]        putkick $chan $nick "Your nickname is too long! use $max_nick_len characters or less" }}proc nick_change {nick uhost hand chan newnick} {    if {![botisop $chan]} { return 0 }    if [isbotnick $newnick] { return 0 }        nick_join $newnick $uhost $hand $chan}

as i mentioned u can block excessive use of chars with 1 banmask

like:

+b ??????????*!*@*

this saves u the trouble of having to kickban each long nick

this works, but it only kicks and you risk making the bot work too much, I would have preferred a ban .

is it possible to ban a nick that exceeds a certain number of characters (eg 10 or 11)?
