HELP
NickServ allows you to “register” a nickname and
prevent others from using it. The following

nicknames; to use them, type /msg NickServ command.
For more information on a specific command, type
/msg NickServ HELP command. -
REGISTER
Syntax: /msg NickServ REGISTER password [email]
Syntax: 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! ANOPE, Anope, and
anope 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
