Registering your Nick:
Registering your Nick will mean that no other user will be able to use it without first knowing your password. Once your nick is register you will need to identify yourself as the owner using the password you specify when registering.
The commands available to you to register your Nick are as follows:
/nickserv REGISTER <password> <email> /ns REGISTER <password> <email>
In these examples <password> should be replaced with the password you wish to use to identify yourself as being the owner of that nick. <email> should be replaced with your email address. You will be sent an activation code to the email address you specify so this must be a valid email address. If you do not recieve the email first check your bulk mail/spam folder to make sure it hasn't been placed in there. If it hasn't then please contact a member of staff in either #help or #svcshelp.
