Moderation: Nicknames

Change a nickname once, or lock it so the member can't change it back themselves.

One-time change

$changenick <@member> <new nickname>

Sets a nickname once - the member can change it right back themselves afterward. Refuses to run on anyone with a forced nickname already set (see below); use forcenick for those instead.

Locking a nickname

$forcenick <@member> [nickname] [--time 1d]
$forcenick list
$forcenicks
$nickremove <@member>

forcenick sets a nickname the member can't change themselves - if they try, Pixie snaps it back automatically. For example:

$forcenick @user certified goofball --time 1d

Locks that nickname for 1 day, then auto-releases it back to normal on its own - leave off --time for a lock that lasts until manually removed. Locks persist across bot restarts.

• forcenick @member with no nickname removes an existing lock (same effect as nickremove).
• forcenick list / forcenicks - two names for the same thing, both list every currently-locked nickname in the server and when each one expires (if it's on a timer).
• nickremove @member - removes the lock and clears their nickname back to none.
