NICK
(Broadcast)
:<uuid> NICK <newnick> <timestamp>
The RFC1459 NICK command differs in InspIRCd for use in a TS6-like environment. The command has an extra parameter, the nickname timestamp, which is used to compare the nickname against any existing instances of that nickname on collision and determine which of the two wins.
See also the nickname collision handling section.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If a 'legacy' nickname change is sent without the timestamp, the server sending it will be quit from the network for a protocol violation.
