NickServ REGISTER

Description Registers your nickname in the NickServ database. Once your nick is registered, you can use the SET and ACCESS commands to configure your nick's settings as you like them. Make sure you remember the password you use when registering - you'll need it to make changes to your nick later.  (You can reset it with the RESETPASS command) (Note that case matters! IRC4FUN, IRC4Fun, and irc4fun are all different passwords!) Guidelines on choosing passwords: Passwords should not be easily guessable. For example, using your real name as a password is a bad idea. Using your nickname as a password is a much worse idea ;) (In fact, NickServ will not allow it anymore.) Also, short passwords are vulnerable to trial-and-error searches, so you should choose a password at least…

NickServ GROUP

Description This command makes your nickname join the target nickname's group. Password is the password of the target nickname. Joining a group will allow you to share your configuration, memos, and channel privileges with all the nicknames in the group, and much more! A group exists as long as it is useful. This means that even if a nick of the group is dropped, you won't lose the shared things described above, as long as there is at least one nick remaining in the group. It is recommended to use this command with a non-registered nick because it will be registered automatically when using this command. You may use it with a registered nick (to change your group) only if your network administrators allowed it. You can only be in…
