Well, firstly I'd have to say, define "short" (1 letter, 2 letters, 5 letters, etc).

Assuming just one or two letters you could do:

Code: Select all

spamfilter {
    regex "^.{1,2}!.*";
    target { user; };
    action block;
    reason "Nick too short. Pick a longer nick.";
};

Spamfilter was not designed for this, Unreal already has a feature that can be used. Use the ban nick block:

Code: Select all

ban nick {
  mask "?";
  reason "Nick too short";
};

ban nick {
  mask "??";
  reason "Nick too short";
};

ban nick {
  mask "???";
  reason "Nick too short";
};

Those will block nicks that have 1 2 or 3 characters, but will allow longer nicks. To add more, just increase the question marks.

Except the conf gets excessively large when you want to require, say, minimum of 6.

Code: Select all

ban nick { 
  mask "?"; 
  reason "Nick too short"; 
};

For $me it doesn't work.. i have to add mask"a-z" manually :)

I must admit, I also noticed this peculiarity. When I used a ban nick of "?", \ could still use that nick.

A spamfilter of ^[^!][^!]?[^!]?! may be useful in this case. I wish I had thought of spamfilter for this purpose earlier.

Are you using the fixed 3.2.4? The first release of 3.2.4 had broken matching when it came to ?'s

Interesting. How do I check?

I forgot that part... Let me look

Syzop was kind enough to put it here: http://www.unrealircd.com/324rerelease.txt

1. go to your Unreal3.2 directory
2. type: grep -F "(*m != '?')" src/match.c
3. if it returns 2 lines then you got the fix, if it returns 1 then not.

Fun. I guess I'll be updating then.
