So in the off chance that the guy is in a room called #$version. It then messages the room $asctime 6.35. Ok what then? How does this compromise the users machine?

What if the room was called #$findfile ?

What would this do? /msg # $asctime(HH:nn) #$findfile


I think you are trying too hard. Back to my original comment. If your server is run by a jerk, or an IRCOP likes to mess with the chatters. They can mess with you regardless of your scripts.
