hi,
in the last few days i spent alot of time to figure out why i still get the
message for Hebrew nicknames.
i was surprised how easy the solution was.
but i was also surprised how hard it is to reach an assistance for the issue.
i was googling for a solution and was certain there is a bug (there wasn't) so tried to open a bug on http://bugs.unrealircd.org/ but failed to do so.
it seems for some reason that my account is blocked or disabled (why?)
anyway, avoiding off topic here, the purpose of my thread here is to focus all the things that can fail you on changing to a hebrew nickname.

otherwise it won't work.
