catman Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 My clan have a $ sign in there name is it possible to make it not get kicked by admin.
MrJax Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 Only some servers disallow/auto-kick you for it, it tends to mess up certain scripting methods.
catman Posted June 5, 2005 Author Posted June 5, 2005 On my server how can i stop it from kickg my clan?
MrJax Posted June 5, 2005 Posted June 5, 2005 Oh, it's in GRS is it? I doubt you will be able to disable it if it is.
MeanpantheR Posted June 5, 2005 Posted June 5, 2005 having a $ sign in ur mta nickname can be a very big problem, if you know how to, u can get admin pass etc. out of it if ur running scripts.
JacoB Posted June 5, 2005 Posted June 5, 2005 having a $ sign in ur mta nickname can be a very big problem, if you know how to, u can get admin pass etc. out of it if ur running scripts. I find that hard to believe. I've always thought the $ being restricted was a result of it causing parsing issues, similiar to how apostrophes cause syntax problems in MySQL.
MrJax Posted June 5, 2005 Posted June 5, 2005 Panther's right, you can do allsorts with it in your name, and small 'un-protected' scripts like !note...depends on the script

I've always thought the $ being restricted was a result of it causing parsing issues, similiar to how apostrophes cause syntax problems in MySQL. with the old !note/!notes script u could note a mIRC/MTA:mA Command to make it show other peoples IPs etc. thats why most scripts now banned $s in !commands and wen u join the server
[FMJ]chode Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 On my server how can i stop it from kickg my clan? take out the $ sign, it looks ghey
MeanpantheR Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 hehe, that might be the best idea since most scripted servers have banned them
][\][ikatee][\][ Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 I never understood why the $ is not allowed on most servers.
MeanpantheR Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 with the old !note/!notes script u could note a mIRC/MTA:mA Command to make it show other peoples IPs etc.
Harry Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 It's jsut all parsing problems. It could lead to code insertion like in the !note case. It's all about mIRC not be able to escape character very easily. So disallowing them is a quick-and-dirty solution, and it does work
