    If there could be a cool down I would be expecting a good 5-10 minutes to change it again, except bad luck if you make a typo :p
    People make inappropriate nick names as a joke and to actually type in chat. If they don't chat, no one really cares, mods don't have times to do /list and see all of the peoples nicks and deal with the matter. So a cool down will only work of the person types in chat after making a rude nick. If they message someone in this time, it will be picked up by social spy and a mod can then request a nick change.
    The concept it good, but it's not all that easy to implement so I don't support

    Back to the newer idea, adding it to socialspy, do this in Essentials.config:

    It seems like even if we wanted a cooldown, the only way to add it would be another plugin, or a developer that could add it. The above is already in Essentials, so someone would just have to go in and add
    - nick
    to the list of socialspy commands

    Just tired of nick abusers :/

    I kind of like the old idea better and I will support it more for the following reasons.

    1. Normal players may see the nick abuser also
    2. Social spy is already quite spammy as is and moderators may miss it
    3. It would prevent moderators getting spammed even more from social spy.
