Messages can be pulled by anyone with the nick

[Nebulon-BFrigateFTW]

While we might want this behavior for users that aren't registered (not much of a choice), it's undesirable for those that are since then people can just pull out their messages at any time by switching to their nick and saying something.
For registered nicks, we should check whether someone is identified to nickserv under the account for the nick.

how

[Nebulon-BFrigateFTW]

/ns info <nickname> gets information on the nickname and what account it's under. /whois <nickname will tell you about what account someone's registered under currently, I think.

[ask-compu]

but the format that info is given in can change at any time, theres no way to be sure, also the way the code works it would need to do the check for every single message/join the bot sees, which would probably not make the irc admins too happy

[Nebulon-BFrigateFTW]

It only needs to check if the nick it sees has messages waiting.

ok look at the seen code then
