  • Usage: /msg ChanServ REGISTER #channel password description
    • Example: /msg ChanServ REGISTER #newchannel mynewpassword A brand new channel
    • This allows you to register the channel #newchannel with password mynewpassword and with description "A brand new channel". You must be an operator in #newchannel and the channel must not be already registered.
