I know there is a good deal of discussion about reserving nicknames to keep people identified. This might pertain somewhat to that as well.

I noticed by default that users can't edit their 'description' setting even when added to the server group "Normal"

If there was a way to prefix the description of someone to their nick so that it appears like:

  • description@nickname
  • description_nickname
  • [description] nickname

Or something to that effect.

Server admins could assign the description, with clients still able to edit their nick whenever they feel like it. Yes the description is already listed if you click on the person, but that is a bit more tedious than being able to instantly see everyones description by default. Perhaps it could be a virtual server setting checkbox to "prefix description to nickname"
