What, exactly, is stopping any arbitrary user from executing this WEBIRC command and changing eir IP to whatever e wants? This module renders any sort of bans useless and suggesting it be installed is thoroughly irresponsible. 12.43.172.10 07:21, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah I think you fundamentally misunderstand how webirc works. Please re-read --Admin 19:41, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

CGIIRC

The user would have to have access to the IRC shell, and add (for Unreal) a cgiirc block with his hostmask and a password they want to use. It is possible, as I have done it, and connected seemingly from yahoo.com. However if the config file is setup correctly, it won't be possible to simply hack a new host.
