The bad nick timers are out if you are literally meaning to give somebody 1 minute to change their nick- unless you think that 7 seconds is a reasonable metaphorical compromise. For things like badnicks and badwords, i tend to prefer the automated system where if ( isin $1-) for example and similarly for nicks... recognises the bad word and then kicks/bans. For racism, I\'d want to be a little tougher on the punishment since in mIRC its one of the cardinal sins. Its not a bad idea for a snippet, somewhere in between the auto response to inputs and a manual ops trying keep up with kicks and reasons.
