Agreed, it does have its uses, for people who are developing addons for their network, modules etc. But for the normal user who knows basic stuffs, it can be very dangerous indeed.

How about, trying to SVSNICK someone to a nick that's already in use? IF that gets sent, one of the two connections will get dropped. OperServ SVSNICK will do checks to ensure that doesn't happen. (If you try it, you get a nice complaint from NickServ(?!) saying that the nickname is in use.)AngryWolf wrote:2. aquanight (or anyone), can you please tell me a possible situation when using /OS RAW SVSNICK leads to a nick collision? I haven't ever experienced any yet. Of course it's better not to use /OS RAW, especially if you have other, much safer ways to change nicks, but SVSNICK isn't very dangerous, I think. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)
