Adding the ability to remove a person from the nicklist would then have to move on to remove that person from /who responses, remove that person for the IAL, remove the person from /names, etc.

What about /whois?

Then everything on IRC is based on ADDRESSES (I'm not sure if the starter of this topic is aware of that or not at this point), so you'd then have to filter out addresses. There is no perfect address filter unless this person is on a completely static host with a single ident. Once the IP changes, or the nick changes, or the ident changes, this person is back on your radar. *OR* you end up blocking other people off of the map *@*.catonv01.md.comcast.net would block the ENTIRE Catonsville, Maryland area.

All because a person has some beef with a person and doesn't see them on the nicklist? If this person caused so much trouble somewhere, you shouldn't have a problem contacting an operator of the channel to deal with the person accordingly.

That is unless it's a channel where it really doesn't matter who you are because it's run by a large group of operators?


Here's my suggestion: IT'S ONLY IRC! Get over it.
