NickServ

NickServ allows you to "register" a nickname and prevent others from using it. The commands sent to this service allow for registration and maintenance of nicknames.

To use them, type /msg NickServ commands

For more information on a specific command, type /msg NickServ HELP command

Nicknames that are not used anymore are subject to the automatic expiration, i.e. they will be deleted after 60 days if not used.

• This service is intended to provide a way for IRC users to ensure their identity is not compromised. It is NOT intended to facilitate stealing of nicknames or other malicious actions. Abuse of NickServ will result in, at minimum, loss of the abused nickname(s).
