mod_audit: Support for adding location (GeoIP) to audit events This can be more privacy-friendly than logging full IP addresses, and also more informative to a user - IP addresses don't mean much to the average person, however if they see activity from outside their expected country, they can immediately identify suspicious activity. As with IPs, this field is configurable for deployments that would like to disable it. Location is also not logged when the geoip library is not available.

summary: 'Require MUC occupant nicknames to match a specific pattern'

Introduction
============

This checks the nickname of a joining user against a configurable
[Lua pattern](https://www.lua.org/manual/5.2/manual.html#6.4.1), and prevents
them from joining if it does not match.

Configuration
=============

There is a single configuration option, `muc_restrict_nick_pattern` and the
default is `"^%w+$"` - i.e. allow only alphanumeric characters in nicknames.

Compatibility
=============

Requires Prosody 0.11 or higher.
