I just wonder, is it possible to make a global denial of nickchange if I f.example set it like this:
or is this all channel based like
/mode #ChannelName +b ~n:*!*@*

I recall reading on these forums that this has some rather undesirable consequences. You may want to try a forum search before doing this.

For channels, use /mode #chan +N..
Network wide, do as Ron2K suggested.
-edit-
I meant, search the forums. Comes down to the idea mexx3k suggested, indeed.

Actually, mexx3k suggested it. I was just warning against it's use.
I found the thread where this was already discussed. The following quote is the important one:

Also have you considered the situation such as when using a registered nick and not managing to identify quickly enough so NickServ then ends up changing your nick. To change back youd have to disconnect and reconnect again.

Assuming you're able to reconnect in the first place...

True that is a point.

Hmmm...yes I know I can set +N in the channel(s) and that is done. But it doesn't help much since people just can go to Status window (mirc) and type /nick and their new nickname.
