Registering and identifying your SAUK Chat nickname on the Serenia IRC Network It is possible to register your chat nickname (or "nick") with the IRC Network's nickname facility, NickServ. This is highly recommended, especially for regular chatters, as it guarantees that your nickname is yours to use. This is a brief description of how to register and identify a registered nickname on Kickchat. For more help, please ask an Op in the chatrooms, post on the chat discussion board at http://www.social-anxiety-community.org/db/forumdisplay.php?f=21 or email saukchat@yahoo.co.uk

Registering your nickname To register the nickname, first you must be logged into one of our chatrooms using the nickname which you wish to register. Then think of a good password, and a genuine email address that you can receive email from (this is essential so that you can be sent activation details - it is not disclosed to anyone). Then, type these details exactly as shown into the chat screen (substitute your own email address and password where shown) /ns register password youremail@xxx.com For example, if your nickname is joebloggs, your password is monstermash6488 and your email address is joebloggs@notmail.com, type the following: /ns register monstermash6488 joebloggs@notmail.com If this was successful, you should see a message telling you this in the STATUS screen. Please don't use the above password, or an easy-to-guess password like your nickname or your real name! A genuine email address is required to complete registration as an authorisation code will be automatically sent to this address. The email address you provide is kept private, and in future is only used to send you the password if you ever forget it. Once you have successfully registered, the automated email will then be sent to you. It will be from Serenia Services with the subject "Password for "(e.g. joebloggs). Don't forget to check your junk mail folder if you use spam filtering! Copy and paste or type the entire activation command line from that email into a chat window as directed, e.g. /msg NickServ ACTIVATE joebloggs f784JI87s Your nickname should now be registered fully. If you have any problems, ask an Op, post to the post on the chat discussion board at http://azure.bbboy.net/sauk-viewforum?forum=13, email , or type /join #help to talk to those who run the chat network. Identifying your nickname To maintain your nickname registration, you have to use the password that you registered it with to "identify". Ideally do this every time you chat. Note that if you don't do this for 30 days the nickname registration will automatically expire. Identification with the password helps to tell everyone that you are really the registered user of your nickname. Once you have identified anyone who uses the /whois command on you will see the text "nickname is a registered nick". To identify your current registered nickname, type /identify nickname password (obviously substituting your own password) e.g. /identify joebloggs monstermash6488 There is a lot more that you can do with your registered nickname, such as enabling protection to automatically force anyone trying to use your nickname to change their nick. For more information, type /ns help in the Status window of chat.
