NightRegulator 3.5 BETA 7 is now available for public use after months of private beta testing! 
Everybody should automatically upgrade to this version via auto-update! This version fixes several critical security bugs as well as the RenGuard reconnection bug!
NR has never kicked for RG disconnection and thus this update was not as critical as BrenBots, however now you should no longer recieve pop-ups after reconnecting to RenGuard! 
I also fixed a security bug that was reported to me yesterday about the way the FDS handles a certain type of nickname and was screwing it up in the configuration file thus allowing them not to be kicked as NR could not read the nickname - This has now been fixed and NR should now function correctly with these users!
Perhaps the biggest update in this version is the new Rec Ladder, which has been originally coded by Drkpwn3r, and then taken up by me, RoShamBo, Dead6re and PsuFan and though a long and daughting process have finally managed to get it working! 
You can view a sample copy of the Rec Ladder by clicking here. The rec ladder is configurable via the NR GUI as well as a template file that can be updated to put the ladder in any style you wish! To use the rec ladder, you must have a webhost that offers you FTP, as well as PHP + mySQL access. - Please note, after first configing up the rec ladder if you already have people ingame with recs, you will need to Sync the rec ladder with NR to make people appear on the list - to do this simply click Sync on the GUI
There is also a number of other new features such as a game_info + player_info reporting as well as an online ban list + a mod list! I have put up a quick page with this info for the tsugaming server here. (the server is offline at the moment - but you should still be able to see the ban list and such )
Several large 'NR' servers have recently been attacked by page flooding. To help against this kind of attack i have added 2 new commands.. !ipage and !unipage. Which blocks pages sent by that person from appearing in IRC - hopefully this should help cut down on alot of WOL page spam attacks that i have seen around recently
It also containts full support for the latest BIATCH, automatically adding BIATCH bans to the NR DB for quick and easy removal!
Here is a list of new commands since BETA 6:
!nick - Searches the IP database for a certain nickname
!ipage - Ignores pages from the user
!unipage - removes players from the list
!rstats - takes recs and medals from one player and gives to another - useful if a player changes their ingame handle
!addrec - gives a certain player x ammount of recs
!delrec - takes away x ammount of recs from a certain player
!suspect - Marks the player as a suspected cheater and places them in a special anti-cheat mode (BIATCH feature)
!trust - Removes the effect of the !untrust command
!istrust - Returns whether the player is trusted or not
The biggest bitching session about NR that people have is the grammer and capital letters at the start of every word  With the help of caveman, NR has been sent to an english class and no longer capitalises the beggining of every sentence ^_^
Download from www.NightRegulator.co.uk
Discuss and reports bugs on the NightRegulator forums
I also believe that PsuFan is currently in the process of making an NR plugin that allows users to create custom commands straight though the NR interface! as well as a new permissions system, new commands, access to features that are not usually available and much more! As far as i am aware he is finished but just needs to update it to correctly work on BETA 7 I will update this post with the link when it is complete.
Heres the full changelog since BETA 6

Bug: When you search for a player by name on the rec ladder it always shows them as rank 1.
Suggestion: Make the player names links and make the search target show in the URL(like I did above) so people can link to their own stats.

I really wouldn't get players to use !suspect as it will cause the game to become almost unplayable for the player that got suspected, especially if your serevr's NUR is lower than 30.
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

I personally don't like if software limits me from doing something because of some check that the nur is below 20. It might be a good idea to give some "you should really know what you're doing!" message back to the user of the command however.
Client nur is always 30, unless you did change it yourself, clientside. I had that once and didn't even know it was possible, making me lag terribly all the time, lol.
[edit]
Forgot to say that the changes look nice. We're not using NR though so there is little I can say about it.

I have not ever bothered looking into regulators too much. I have always left that to toher team members really. But this looks really nice and I would consider trying ti for a while.
I know that the brenbot source isn't public, is the source code for NR public? Or any regulator for that matter other then blazereg?

the source is not public - im tryna get an installer for this online because at the moment after installing, you ahve to go though some looooong arse auto-update process lol - which sucks
and no, the source is not available, however is a zip in the NR directory called Source.zip that contains the code needed to create your own plugins and customer commands
