[jadmin] First question about mu-conf [Was: Re: Need a muc plugin.]

[Luis Zarrabeitia]

Allright, the first few questions about mu-conference

* I can't find how to prohibit non-anonymous rooms. <locknicks> force the 
users to use their localparts as nicks, but there may be different accounts 
with the same localpart (which may not happen, i.e, kyrie at uh.cu and 
kyrie at jabber.org are likely different people). Ideally, I'd like the full jid 
to be used as nick (and not allow changes), or at least, to have the full jid 
discoverable by everyone, and always logged.

* I'd like to let my users - in principle, all my users and only my users - to 
be able to create rooms. <roomlock/> lets me make it so that admins only can 
create rooms, but not all my users are admin :D. Can I do that? (or is there 
any suggestion for doing that with a bot? Like destroying rooms that are not 
being used by one of my users).

* I marked my jid as admin. Indeed, I join every room as a moderator. But I'm 
still not authorized to kick/ban the room creator (he is also a moderator), 
nor to demote them. My only choice is to destroy the room. How can I demote 
them?

Thanks!
