True-Gor Network It's time to come Home!!!

NickServ allows you to "register" a nickname and prevent others from using it. 

The following commands allow for registration and maintenance of nicknames: 

/Nickserv help: This command will give you a list of all commands available to you as the user.

/NickServ command. Command being one from the list you attained by typing /Nickserv Help.

/NickServ HELP command. This command allows you to find information on a specific command.


The following is a list of commands, and descriptions of what each command does.   

 Syntax: /msg NickServ  REGISTER password [email]

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.
(Note that case matters!  YOURNICK, Yournick, and yournick 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 ;) and, in fact,
NickServ will not allow it.
Also, short passwords are vulnerable to trial-and-error searches,
so you should choose a password at least 5 characters long.
Finally, the space character cannot be used in passwords. The parameter email is not optional. 
The email address is where your confirmation code is sent, so use a real address. 
Your privacy is respected; this e-mail won't be given to any third-party person.
This command also creates a new group for your nickname, that will allow you to register 
other nicks later sharing the same configuration, the same set of memos and the
same channel privileges. 

For more information on this feature, type /NickServ help register.     

 Syntax: /msg NickServ  GROUP target password

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.

You can use this command even if you have not registered your nick yet. 
If your nick is already registered, you'll need to identify yourself before using this command.

Type /NickServ HELP IDENTIFY for more information.

It is recommended to use this command with a non-registered nick because, 
it will be registered automatically when using this command. 

You can only be in one group at a time. Group merging is not possible.

Note: all the nicknames of a group have the same password.

 Syntax: /msg NickServ  IDENTIFY password

Tells NickServ that you are really the owner of this nick. 
Many commands require you to authenticate yourself with this command before you use them. 

The password   should be the same one you sent with the REGISTER command.    

Syntax: /msg NickServ  LOGOUT

This reverses the effect of the IDENTIFY command, 

i.e. make you not recognized as the real owner of the nick anymore. 

Note, however, that you won't be asked to reidentify yourself.

Syntax: /msg NickServ  DROP [nickname]

Drops your nickname from the NickServ database.

A nick that has been dropped is free for anyone to re-register.

You may drop a nick within your group by passing it as the nick parameter.

In order to use this command, you must first identify with your password.

Type /NickServ HELP IDENTIFY for moreinformation.
    

Syntax: /msg NickServ  ACCESS ADD mask 

        /msg NickServ ACCESS DEL mask 

        /msg NickServ ACCESS LIST      

Modifies or displays the access list for your nick.  

This is the list of addresses which will be automatically recognized by NickServ as allowed to
use the nick.

If you want to use the nick from a different address, 
you need to send an IDENTIFY command to make NickServ recognize you.     

 (Examples: /msg NickServ ACCESS ADD anyone@*.bepeg.com Allows access to user anyone 
 from any machine in the bepeg.com domain.

/msg NickServ ACCESS DEL anyone@*.bepeg.com Reverses the previous command.

/msg NickServ ACCESS LIST Displays the current access list.)

nickname as the user

you're trying to recover your nick from. This causes the IRC servers to disconnect
the other user.

not immediately reconnect;

be on that nick's access list, you must be identified and in the group of that nick,
or you must supply the correct password for the nickname. 
   

Syntax: /msg NickServ  GHOST nickname [password]

Terminates a "ghost" IRC session using your nick.  A "ghost" session is one which is not
actually connected, but which the IRC server believes is still online for one reason or
another.  Typically, this happens if your computer crashes or your Internet or modem
connection goes down while you're on IRC.

In order to use the GHOST command for a nick, your current address as shown in /WHOIS
must be on that nick's access list, you must be identified and in the group of that nick,
