One problem with restricting it for non-registered nicks is that if you mis-type or forget to type your password to identify to nickserv and your nick is then changed you cant change it back without disconnecting and reconnecting.

forget it. i am under attacking bots. i tested. the bots don't answer any ctcp command.

they only answer the version command. and they answer the command like this

[22:08] [ehuehuahuhuehuhuehuOk VERSION reply]

a normal user answer like this:

[22:10] [Cihan VERSION reply]: mIRC v6.17 Khaled Mardam-Bey

i want to kill the bots answering like [ehuehuahuhuehuhuehuOk VERSION reply]

how can i kill them.

what the code i must add the unrealircd.conf ban version block mask ???

i can't find. please help!

or we can do the something about not answering the any ctcp but the version.

You can limit how many times someone changes their nick in a certain amount of time, such as once per 60 seconds or such.

set::anti-flood::nick-flood <count>:<period>
Nickflood protection: limits nickchanges to 'count' per 'period' seconds. For example nick-flood 4:90 means 4 per 90 seconds, the default is 3 per 60.

You won't be able to ban versions that are blank or don't reply. (There are many topics on this, use the forum search to find them)
