Forbid nick with accents

[hery]

Hello,

Is there a easier way to forbid nicks with accent? I mean all é è à ò etcc.
It is because our IRC clients (web-based or Java based) treat them differently (encoding problem).. so some local operators have difficulty to deal with them. So I want to forbid them.

In the config file I put something like

Code: Select all

ban {
     mask "*é*@*"
}

but I don't know if another easier methods exist.

Can you help? Thank you.

The ban ip and ban user blocks will NOT match against nicks. To match against nicks you need the ban nick blcok (http://www.unrealircd.com/files/docs/un ... nnickblock)

Also see http://www.unrealircd.com/files/docs/un ... _nickchars because unless you enabled non-standard nick characters, accented characters aren't allowed in nick names anyway.

Ah ok thank you

In fact in my config there was already a default

allowed-nickchars {
latin1;
};

So now I removed it and accents are forbidden

Thanks
