Someone's trying to connect to our server with the username Stickieee. They're getting this error:

10:08 [server] -!- Irssi: Looking up irc.server.com
10:08 [server] -!- Irssi: Connecting to irc.server.com [217.172.186.14]

username. Please use only 0-9 a-z A-Z _ - and . in your username.)

I tried Googling for solutions, and checking the FAQ, but to no avail. Can anyone help?

"Stickieee" is a nick, not a username. The part the server is rejecting, is the username, which is the bold part here:
nick!username@host

Okay. He doesn't get any problems with other IRC servers though, is there some config option I can change on the server to make it allow that username?

No, you can not change that.
Tell him to use a "real" username and not only special characters...
