Hi,
Just moved our webchat network over to Anope.
I was wondering if someone with module-writing experience could write this, what I think is, simple'ish module for us?
We should have a string of banned words in nicknames in the .conf BannedWords "Word1 Word2 Word3 ..."
If a user joins any channel with with a nickname that contains a BannedWord then they should be kicked and a ban set in format nickname!*@*
AKICK is not an option here, we need the ban to be nickname!*@* not *bannedword*!*@* so every users sees the reason in kick.
We have 6,000~ webchat users at any point.
Thanks,

Disallowing nicknames is the job of the ircd, not services. Something like this: https://www.unrealircd.org/files/docs/unreal32docs.html#bannickblock or https://wiki.inspircd.org/Configuration#.3Cbadnick.3E
If an user attempts to change their nick to a wild carded match to the banned nick, it fails. Channel bans/akicks will be a moot point since the usage of the bad nick is impossible.

Want services to do it so webchat sees a real kick and ban.
Thanks

That's not necessary. Because, again, if the ircd controls the bad nick list, no bad nicks will ever exist in the first place so there is nothing to kick/ban.
The IRCd keeps track of both the real and fake host, so if you ban the fake host, the real one is banned too. For security reasons, users and Channel Ops are not shown the real host.
What you are asking for will open a huge security hole. If ChanOps are granted access to real hosts then all one has to do is creat a new channel and start /whois'ing people to get their real IP. This effectively renders host manging totally useless.

... What?

Sorry you don't understand. The IRCd already does what you are requesting and this will likely not get coded as a module because its a huge security risk.
Best of Luck.

I understand what I want, I don't think you do
No mention of fake real IP addresses in my request so no idea what you're going off on one about lol
Anyway can't do it no need to reply or at least understand first
Thx!

Why isn't akick an option? Akick bans with the mask you give it, so if you gave it nick!*@* it would ban nick!*@*

You're right. I did misread it, sorry. Perhaps if you supplied a detailed reason why services needs to do the kick/ban it would make more sense as to why an akick or the ircd controlling nick usage won't work because given the information provided, a module coder may see no reason to waste time coding something that's potentially redundant.

Adam, Hi, :-)
Because, I add *Fuck*!*@* to AKICK, Fucker30 joins, ChanServ bans *Fuck*!*@*, later Fucker40 can't join
Each bad nickname should see a kick message
So Fucker20 -> banned Fucker20!*@* -> kicked
And Fucker30 -> banned Fucker30!*@* -> kicked
(Sorry about all the swearing ;-))
I need every user to see a kick so they understand and choose a new nickname, otherwise they don't see a kick and leave our site.
This is v important for us, we're having like 50 or 60 nicks banned per HOUR on our site, we can't afford to just "block" these users without explaining
Btw, we'll pay for this, fine :-)

guess noone wriets anope mods anymore

No, several still write them.
Your request just doesn't make much sense to those that do. You are asking to create an auto-kick for something that already exists both in chanserv (akick) and at the ircd level (bans/blocked nicks).
Your reasoning is so that people 'see' the kick instead of actually prohibiting the profane nick. If the nick is prevented from even being used in the first place, like it should be, then you would never see them in the first place.
Which webchat program do you use that doesn't pass the "this is a prohibited nick" type error message back to the user when they try to connect using such a nick, and doesn't pass a "this is a prohibited nick" to the user when they try to change to one?

Would it be simpler than a module to just modify AKICK source
and instead of banning AKICK entry, ban nick that triggered AKICK entry
since it should work like this in all channels
?

In your case, yes it would be simpler.
However, no one here will explain how to do it or do it for you. Modifying the source will void all support. This means that if you modify the source code, you are on your own when it comes to fixing/trouble shooting issues.
Anope was created as a modular application for the intended purpose of not having to modify the source to have special and unique features.
Good Luck.

Ok so it must be a module.
Where are the docs?
i.e. "If you want to hook a user joining a channel do X" etc.
Unreal has a list, does Anope have similar?
