NICKSERV: acc
NickServ assigns every nickname an access level. You can use that to determine what kind of access that user has. The access level changes depending on level of proof the current user of that nickname has provided to NickServ.
Possible return values include:
0 - Nickname not registered or not currently online.
1 - User has not identified with a password and does not match an access mask entry.
2 - User has not identified with a password, but matches an access list entry.
3 - User has identified using the nickname password.
Command: /nickserv ACC (nickname)
Example: /nickserv acc zud |

NICKSERV: access
NickServ maintains a database with addresses that are allowed to use the nickname without identifying with the password. This can come in handy, since by adding an access mask you can use your nickname without having to type the password every time you join, or you can give a friend access to your nickname without giving them the password.
You can add access masks to this database using the ACCESS ADD command.
To delete access masks, use ACCESS DEL.
To view access masks, use ACCESS LIST.
To clear access list, use ACCESS WIPE.
Command: /nickserv ACCESS (add/del/list/wipe) [user@mask]
Example: /nickserv access add calvin@hobbes.ncsu.edu
/nickserv access del *@alcatraz.com
/nickserv access wipe |
|
NICKSERV: drop
If you want to unregister a nickname, then you should use the DROP command. When issuing this command, NickServ will immediately halt all management of the specified nickname. After issuing the drop command, an email is sent to the currently set email for the nick. This email contains an authorization code that has to be copied and pasted while connected to DALnet or via the websystem to confirm the drop request process.
Before using this command you must use the IDENTIFY command with the nickname password. Please note that after dropping a nickname, it becomes available for immediate registration by someone else, so exercise caution when using this command.
If after dropping a nickname, someone else registers it, you cannot reclaim that nickname until the new owner lets it expire or drops it.
Command: /nickserv DROP (nickname)
Example: /nickserv drop cupid |
|
NICKSERV: ghost
Sometimes, especially if the network is unstable, or you get disconnected you may end up with a ghosted nickname. What that means is that although you have quit, the IRC server did not receive your quit, and has not released your nickname. It will still appear on any channels you were, and if you do a /whois you will see it has your internet address and your username.
You can retrieve this "ghosted" nickname by using the GHOST command.
Use of the password might or might not be required. If your current address is on the access list, then you do not need to use the password. If your current address is not in the access list, then you must supply the nickname password.
NickServ will then reply saying that the nickname was killed, at which time you can change your nick to your old nickname and continue chatting.
Command: /nickserv GHOST (nickname) [password]
Example: /nickserv ghost bear eXone.45 |

| IDENTIFY |
/NickServ HELP IDENTIFY |

|
NICKSERV: identify
If NickServ prompts you for a password you must reply using this command.
The nickname is optional. You should use it if you want to use the IDENTIFY for a nickname other than the one you are currently using.
If the password is correct, NickServ will notify you that you have successfully identified to your nickname, in which case you have full access to all commands. If not, then you have entered an incorrect password. Please note that passwords are case sensitive, thus a123 is NOT the same as A123 as far as NickServ is concerned.
If you have trouble remembering your password, you can go to #OperHelp and ask for a CSOP.
Command: /nickserv IDENTIFY [nickname] (password)
Example: /nickserv identify fr0g452
/nickserv identify stud 46.Turtle
or,
/identify fr0g452
/identify stud 46.Turtle |

NICKSERV: register
The REGISTER command allows you to register a nickname with NickServ, and have NickServ protect it.
Note the fact that the desired nickname does not appear anywhere on this command. NickServ will attempt to register the nickname you are currently using. Also note that the password is case sensitive. This means that A123 and a123 are different. After issuing the register command, an email is sent to the adress you set for the nick. This email contains an authorization code to complete the registration process. This code has to be copied and pasted while connected to DALnet or via the websystem to confirm the registration of your nick.
Please make sure you note your nickname password and do not give it away to anyone. The DALnet staff will not ask for your password. You can tell they are actually DALnet officials by using the /whois command, and see if they are an IRC Operator. If you forget your nickname password, please head to #OperHelp and ask for a CSOP. They can help you retrieve your password.
Nicknames will automatically expire after 30 days of absence.
Command: /nickserv REGISTER (password) (email address)
Example: /nickserv register HAwaii.662 alligator@gatorsrus.com |
