| An IRC
command that enables users to register their nick
so they are the only user with that name, helping prevent confusion
and false identification. Below is an example of how the nickserv
command may work on the IRC server you're connected to. Keep in mind
that not every IRC server uses the same software and that this
command may operate differently.
Note: The below commands need to be run from the server
window and not within a channel or message.
/msg nickserv help
or
/nickserv help
The above commands would display the help screen in the
main server window in IRC, displaying all of the available commands
nickserv is capable of doing.
/nickserv register password e-mail
Above is an example of how to register the nick you're
currently using. In the above example you would substitute the
password for the password you wish to use to login and e-mail
with your personal e-mail address. Most servers require a valid
e-mail address that they will e-mail with a verification code.
If the nick you're attempting to register is already being used
by someone you'll receive an error similar to: "Nickname nick
is already registered!"
/nickserv identify password
Once your nick has been registered, each time you log into the
IRC server, if you wish to use your registered nick, you'll be
required to identify with the server using the above command. In
the above example you would substitute password with the password
you used earlier to register.
