SetEXAMPLE: /NickServ ACC Nick1
-NickServ- Nick1 ACC 3
If you no longer want to keep control of a nick, this command will allow you to give the nick up. It removes the nickname from NickServ's database so anyone can use it.
NOTE: You must be identified to NickServ to use this command (ACC 3).
EXAMPLE: /NickServ DROP Nick1
-NickServ- Dropping a nickname is permanent and cannot be undone!
-NickServ- To confirm, type: /nickserv DROP Nick1Testing 1006485375EXAMPLE: /NickServ DROP Nick1 1006485375
-NickServ- The nick Nick1 has been successfully dropped.
When you first get into a nick, either through having just connected or using the /nick command, NickServ assigns you a random 9-digit number to keep track of who you are. If you change nicks, the number changes. If the value of ID for a nick is 0, the nick isn't being used. This command is really only potentially useful to bots, scripts or programs that need to know if the nick really is the same as it was earlier (with no nick changes).
EXAMPLE: /NickServ ID Nick1
-NickServ- Nick11 174583411
Each nick that NickServ knows about initially behaves the same way - all of the settings that can be changed are set to off or undefined. However, each of these settings adds a different level of security, behavior or information for that nick: Passwd, Kill and Secure are security settings; NoMemo and NoOp are behavior settings; and URL is an informational setting. Also, URL, Kill and NoMemo add lines to your /NickServ Info display.
NOTE: Using any of the set commands (except Passwd) with no parameter will report the current setting.
NOTE: In order to change any of the settings, you must be using that nick and identified by password to NickServ for that nick (ACC 3).
This command is used to change the email address set on your nick.
EXAMPLE: /NickServ SET EMAIL nick1@u.dal.net
-NickServ- Your email address has been set to nick1@u.dal.net
-NickServ- You'll soon receive a confirmation email. Your email address change
-NickServ- won't take effect until you follow the instructions in the email.
In order to prevent someone from using your nick, you can set Enforce On for your nick. When this setting is enabled, whoever is using your nick will get a notice from NickServ:
-NickServ- This nick is owned by someone else. Please choose another.
-NickServ- If this is your nick, type: /msg NickServ IDENTIFY <password>
-NickServ- Your nick will be changed in 60 seconds if you do not comply.
-
-NickServ- You now have 40 seconds to change your nick. The nick you are
-NickServ- currently using is registered to another user.
-
-NickServ- You now have 20 seconds to change your nick. If you do not
-NickServ- comply, I will change your nick for you. This is your final warning.
-
-NickServ- Your nick has been changed to Guest57347. For more help on services,
-NickServ- please visit http://www.dal.net/services

*** Nick1 is now known as Guest57347
NOTE: Anyone matching a mask in your nick's access list will not receive these notices, nor will their nick be forcibly changed. This is convenient if it is really you using your nick because you won't be "Guested" by NickServ should services go offline and return. You won't be prompted for your password. Just make sure that your access list only contains access masks that you use.
EXAMPLE: /NickServ SET ENFORCE ON
-NickServ- Your ENFORCE option has been set to ON.
If you do not want to receive any memos sent to this nick, turn this option on. This is usually used for nicks that receive a lot of memos from unknown sources.
EXAMPLE: /NickServ SET NOMEMO ON
-NickServ- Your NOMEMO option has been set to ON.
This command is used if you do not wish to be added to channel's AOP/SOP lists without your permission. Some people think that simply adding a popular nick (like IRCop nicks or well known nicks) to their channel's AOP/SOP lists means that the other ops will believe that that nick is a member of the channel (like adding dalvenjah's nick means that he actually comes to that channel). This is how a nick can avoid being added like this. If it is turned on, then when someone tries to add the nick to a channel's AOP/SOP lists, they will receive a notice from ChanServ:
-ChanServ- Nick1 does not wish to be added to channel operator lists.
EXAMPLE: /NickServ SET NOOP ON
-NickServ- Your NOOP option has been set to ON.
Use this command whenever you need or want to change your password for your nick. Your password can be anything you like and can include any printable ASCII character. It can be from 1 to 64 characters long.
NOTE: The command is PASSWD (without the "or" between the "W" and the "D"), not PASSWORD.
EXAMPLE: /NickServ SET PASSWD q59H39tF2bb (fgb309G0e6ui(^%#voi2IF)(73
-NickServ- Your password has been reset. Please write it down.
This command prevents the use of the masks in the nick's access list.
EXAMPLE: /NickServ SET SECURE ON
-NickServ- Your SECURE option has been set to ON.
This command lets you allow people to view your email address you have set on your nick.
EXAMPLE: /NickServ SET SHOWEMAIL ON
-NickServ- Your SHOWEMAIL option has been set to ON.
This will give you an additional line in your /NickServ Info Nick1 display-NickServ- Email address : nick1@u.dal.net
This is an informational tag only; all it does is adds a line into your /NickServ Info. There are two common ways to use this: putting your email address in it, or providing your home page's (or perhaps a favorite) URL. It cannot be longer than 64 characters long.
EXAMPLE: /NickServ SET URL http://home.dal.net/nick1/
-NickServ- Your URL has been set to http://home.dal.net/nick1/
EXAMPLE: /NickServ SET URL mailto:nick1@u.dal.net
-NickServ- Your URL has been set to mailto:nick1@u.dal.net
EXAMPLE: /NickServ Set URL -
-NickServ- Your URL has been deleted.
