Post by ribot »

i guess maybe someone has already told me, but i forgot. why is it not allowed to have more than 9 chars in nick?

The history has known some of so-called "abula rules". Their main point is building up the amount of vital respect towards the Crew. Therefore although they usually have none, or only aesthetic genuine reason to be held, (after all they can send a messenger bluffing that Abula had some IRC script back in November 2003 that used to crash when someone had more than 9-chars) the rule works as all the others, that is warning (kick) and ban if abused.

some servers dont support more than 9 chars, because the original irc protocol was only for 9 chars
but i guess thats not very common anymore

some million years ago px said he can't stand reading #across if the start of lines varies too much cause of nick lengths

such can look annoying indeed, I believe it was made when ircnet changed their rule from 9 to 15 chars

Irc should have column, maybe a line connecting the nick to text, so that all text is inline and tracable to nick. Prablem salved.
