Because, there is no nickname protection. An authname is just a username to use Q and the services with, it is not linked at all to your nickname. Nicknames are first come, first serve.
We don't use this on Quakenet and never have done, and never will do. It doesn't work very well on large networks and definitely not on gaming networks.
