There is a whole lot more than just being unable to connect...
Like: unable to boot/rehash (hint: missing efunction).

Network lag (hint: real lag, not the fake lag that opers are exempt from) could keep it from getting the sajoin through in time. Perhaps next time someone wants to do this, something a little less obvious: +b ~n:*!*@*
How could anyone possibly think removing the NICK command completely would work? It would mean no new users could connect, all the server synching or new remote users would be screwed / lead to desynch kills, etc etc etc.
To get your idea - or the variants of it - working it would obviously have been an override module, which.. actually.. is very easy to build, besides the usual 'skeleton' part you would only have to code like 10 lines tops in the cmdoverride function for NICK (eg: if you want to prefix everyone with '[Idiot]' or whatever..) :P.
