Sample of protocol violations

- Sometimes even above 65535 so uhhhh bad things happen
- Weird nicks
- Nicks that contain spaces
- Nicks that masquerade as entire messages
(e.g.,
lurk!lurk@lurk PRIVMSG #chat :lurkas a nick) - Nicks that wreck complete havoc
(e.g.,
:, which crashes entire soju users across all of their networks)
- Force-joining users to nicknames (i.e., invalid channel names)
