Unfortunately the outdated version of Essentials that is running on the server doesn't support a character limit for nicknames.
I'm afraid to update it because the chat formatting might break with the outdated faction plugin that is also running, and the faction plugin has been totally re-done so updating it would cause a big change in way faction commands are performed and would confuse users who are familiar with the old system. The way the old faction files are stored may also be incompatible with this new version of Factions.
The versions of both these plugins are about 1 and a half years old and I have chosen to keep them because they work fine and well with each other. Running a new version of Essentials would clash with the old version of Factions and this means that some newer features in Essentials must be sacrificed for the greater functionality of the server. |

The solution I have used in the past to deal with this problem of nickname spam is to simply remove that player's permission to use nicknames if they abuse nicknames and cannot use them responsibly. |
