This ban method has some disadvantages. If you have a channel with a heavy userload, you can't use a 'strong ban' cause the 'colateral damage' towards innocent users is enorme.
But there are the raw replies for example on who and whois. They return stuff like entries in the real name field or the channels where they are on.
Why not creating a new 'class' of bans as a standard feature of undernet? at the moment we notice that commercial "reclam bot" services join channels and sit there and send advertising to users. We ban them by a raw event but it is more or less complicated.
Or the check on join, if a user shares another 'bad' channel. It is done at the moment by bots and mostly on join. a op or a bot seldom checks if you have joined a bad channel, when you are sitting in a chan.
is the ban on a real name field a good idea? It would prevent the advertising of lame scripts and it would help to keep undernet as the tehcnical leading network
