NICKSERV COMMANDS FOR REGISTERED NICKS
for help with NickServ functions, type /msg nickserv@services.dal.net help
* To register your nickname
o type /msg nickserv@services.dal.net REGISTER your_password your_email
* To identify to NickServ for your nick
o type /msg nickserv@services.dal.net IDENTIFY your_password
* To set the "enforce" ("Kill") option on your nick
o type /msg NickServ@services.dal.net SET KILL ON
This prevents other people from using your nick when you're not on.
* To ghost your nickname
o type /msg nickserv@services.dal.net GHOST Nickname your_password
If, for some reason, your Internet connection fails (lag, net-split, computer crash, etc), then your client may not log off IRC properly. When you reconnect, your nickname from before may show up as still being online. This is called a ghost. With this command, you can remove your ghost.
* To recover your nickname from someone else using it
o type /msg nickserv@services.dal.net RECOVER Nickname your_password
use this if you don't have your Nick KILL switch set to "on".
* To release your nickname from NickServ
o type /msg nickserv@services.dal.net RELEASE Nickname your_password
use this after you have used the recover command, to release your nickname from NickServ's Enforcer service. Otherwise, NickServ will hold your nick in custody for two minutes before releasing it on it's own.
