mod_pastebin: Fix pasting when <body> is not the first tag (thanks thorsten) Introduced in ded630a87563 stanza:get_child() and :get_child_text() operates on the first child when no name or namespace is given. If it so happens that the first child is an <thread/> instead of <body> then it calculates the line length against that instead of the body. Apparently in the vast majority of clients the <body> is first, so this issue was not noticed until now.

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

On a server with public registration it is usually desirable to prevent
registration of certain "reserved" accounts, such as "admin".

This plugin allows you to reserve individual usernames, or those
matching certain patterns. It also allows you to ensure that usernames
conform to a certain pattern.

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

Enable the module as any other:

    modules_enabled = {
      "block_registrations";
    }

You can then set some options to configure your desired policy:

  Option                           Default         Description
  -------------------------------- --------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  block\_registrations\_users      `{ "admin" }`   A list of reserved usernames
  block\_registrations\_matching   `{ }`           A list of [Lua patterns](http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#5.4.1) matching reserved usernames (slower than block\_registrations\_users)
  block\_registrations\_require    `nil`           A pattern that registered user accounts MUST match to be allowed

Some examples:

    block_registrations_users = { "admin", "root", "xmpp" }
    block_registrations_matching = {
      "master$" -- matches anything ending with master: postmaster, hostmaster, webmaster, etc.
    }
    block_registrations_require = "^[a-zA-Z0-9_.-]+$" -- Allow only simple ASCII characters in usernames

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