If this is what worries you, remember that ops on the channel have the hability to think! They could choose to ban only by the undernet host if they want to! The thing is that they need to have that choice.. this is their channel! And when i talk about multiregistering, what i am talking about is when someone, with a buch of emails that are pointing in fact to the same place is registering 50 usernames and, with them go online with drones coming from compromised connexions (trojan, wingates, etc). And then is using them to flood a channel.. there is no way of tracig them to informe the ISP of the compromised ips... And more important, you cannot pinpoint the source, the person who was abnned or feeled suffisently insulted to attack your channel or your connexion. You cannot informe his ISP to check his activities and eventualy make him stop. You also give the perfect rpotection to pples wanting to do any illegal activities at all... Regards, - Alocin
