-*Global (services@newnet.net)*- [Logon News - May 06 2007] Welcome to NewNet! We have new services! You must register your nickname(s) and/or channel(s) again. Please note that if you register nicks or channels that do not belong to you, they will just be taken away from you and given to the rightful owner, so don't bother. Also, :remember when registering secondary nicknames, use the NickServ GROUP function -> /ns help GROUP -*ProxyMon (opsb@stats.newnet.net)*- Your Host is being Scanned for Open Proxies -*Global (services@newnet.net)*- [Logon News - May 06 2007] If you need help with anything, please join #services -- Thank you. --> nickserv register help * Syntax: REGISTER password email * /msg NickServ HELP REGISTER for more information. --> nickserv help register * 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 ;) 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 optional and will set the email * for your nick immediately. However, it may be required * on certain networks. * 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 /msg NickServ HELP GROUP. Make sure you allow services@newnet.net to your email account, or look for it appearing in your spam box.
