Internet Relay Chat (IRC) - Nick Commands
What is a Nick?
A nick is what people will recognize you as when you join a channel. It is your screen name and can be anything that you want withing reason. Nicks must meet the following guidelines:
- Must not contain offensive words or vulgarities
- May not contain "admin" anywhere within it
- Must be 30 characters or shorter
Registering a Nick
Registering a nick makes it "yours" and allows you to be invited to restricted channels, register channels, and be identified as who you say you are.
To register your nick:
- Change your nick to what you would like it to be registered as using the /nick command
- Example: /nick DeathDealer
- Use the following command: /msg chanserv register <pwd> <email>
- Example: /msg chanserv register ThisIsMyPwd somejoe@anywhere.com
The password must be a minimum of 5 characters. It is best to use both upper and lower case letters and numbers.
The email address must belong to you, but we will accept "free based" emails such as gmail, yahoo, msn, hotmail, etc.
