The nickname that should follow after $ValidateNick is missing.

Correct usage: $ValidateNick MyNickHere|

It's possible that this is caused by a nickname with characters that can't be converted to the hubs character set, Chinese or Arabian characters for example in a hub that uses ASCII/ANSI characters.

Makes perfect sense.
