NOTICE

This service is intended to provide a way for IRC users to ensure their identity is not compromised. It is NOT intended to facilitate "stealing" of nicknames or other malicious actions. Abuse of NickServ will result in, at minimum, loss of the abused nickname(s).

ACC	Syntax: ACC <nickname>
	Returns whether the user using the given nickname is recognized as the owner of the nickname. The response has this format:
	nickname acc-code
	acc-code is one of the following:
	0 - Nickname Unregistered
	1 - Registered, Offline
	2 - UnIdentified
	3 - Identified via password authentication
	4 - Recognized via access list
	5 - Forbidden Nickname

ACCESS	Syntax: ACCESS ADD mask
	ACCESS DEL mask
	ACCESS DEL #
	ACCESS LIST
	ACCESS WIPE
	Modifies or displays the access list for your nick. This is the list of addresses which will be automatically recognized by NickServ as allowed to use the nick. If you want to use the nick from a different address, you need to send an IDENTIFY command to make NickServ recognize you.
Examples:	ACCESS ADD Sanessa@*.filoz.net
	Allows access to user Sanessa from any machine in the filoz.net domain.
	ACCESS DEL Sanessa@*.filoz.net
	Reverse the above command. (forces user to identify to nick)
	ACCESS DEL 3 - Removes the 3rd entry on your access list.
	ACCESS LIST - Displays the current access list.
	ACCESS WIPE - Remove all entries from your access list.

DROP	Syntax: DROP <nick> <auth code>
	Drops your nickname from the NickServ database. A nick that has been dropped is free for anyone to re-register.
	In order to use this command, you must first identify with your password (/NickServ HELP IDENTIFY for more information).
	You will then receive an e-mail with an authorization code. This is for your own protection so that if your password is stolen your nick may not be dropped. The e-mail you will receive will give you instructions on how to carry out the confirmation to delete the nickname from our records.

GHOST	Syntax: GHOST <nickname> <password>
	Terminates a "ghost" IRC session using your nick. A "ghost" session is one which is not actually connected, but which the IRC server believes is still online for one reason or another. Typically, this happens if your computer crashes or your Internet or modem connection goes down while you're on IRC.
	In order to use the GHOST command for a nick, your current address as shown in /WHOIS must be on that nick's access list, or you must supply the correct password for the nickname.

IDENTIFY	Syntax: IDENTIFY <nickname> <password>
	Tells NickServ that you are really the owner of this nick. Many commands require you to authenticate yourself with this command before you use them. The password should be the same one you sent with the REGISTER command. If you do not specify a nickname then you will identify to the nick you're currently using.

INFO	Syntax: INFO <nickname>
	Displays information about the given nickname, such as the nick's owner, last seen address and time, and nick options.

RECOVER	Syntax: RECOVER <nickname> <password>
	Allows you to recover your nickname if someone else has taken it; this does the same thing that NickServ does automatically if someone steals a kill-protected nick.
	When you give this command, NickServ will bring a fake user online with the same nickname as the user you're trying to recover your nick from. This causes the IRC server to change the nick of the other user. NickServ's fake user will remain online for one minute to ensure that the other user does not immediately attempt to switch back to your nick; after that minute, you can reclaim your nick.
	Alternatively, use the RELEASE command
	/NickServ HELP RELEASE to get the nick back sooner.
	In order to use the RECOVER command for a nick, your current address as shown in /WHOIS must be on that nick's access list, or you must supply the correct password for the nickname.
	Note: If the nickname's security setting is enabled, you must provide a password.

REGISTER	Syntax: REGISTER <password> <e-mail>
	Example : /NickServ REGISTER goodpassword youremail
	Registering your nick opens a variety of options to chose from. These include, but not limited to, killing your ghosts, registering channels, and preventing others from using your nick. By providing an e-mail address, you can secure your nick by returning an AUTH code services will e-mail to you. By doing so, you take a step towards securing your nick from others exploiting it. Don't pick an easy-to-guess password like your nickname or your real name!

REGISTER2	Syntax: REGISTER <password>
	Registering your nick opens a variety of options to chose from. These include, but not limited to, killing your ghosts, registering channels, and preventing others from using your nick. Do not pick an easy-to-guess password like your nickname or real name!

RELEASE	Syntax: RELEASE <nickname> <password>
	Instructs NickServ to remove any hold on your nickname caused by automatic enforce protection or use of the RECOVER command. By default, such holds last for one minute; this command gets rid of them sooner.
	In order to use the RELEASE command for a nick, your current address as shown in /WHOIS must be on that nick's access list, or you must supply the correct password for the nickname.
	Note: If the nickname's security setting is enabled, you must provide a password.

SENDPASS	Syntax: SENDPASS <nickname> <email>
	The SENDPASS command will allow you to have your nick's password sent to your email.The email you specify must match that of the one used at registration time of the nick.

LIST	Syntax: LIST <pattern>
	Displays a list of nicknames according to your match pattern. The pattern may contain '*' wildcards, and may be used against nickname or user@host matching.
	For example: /NickServ LIST ness
	would list all nickname registrations that contain "ness" somewhere within the name.
	or: /NickServ LIST a* or /NickServ LIST *et
	would list all nicks starting with an "a" or all nicks ending in "et" respectively.
	or:
	/NickServ LIST @.aol.com
	would list all nickname registrations under the aol isp.
	The LIST command displays the matched registered nickname, last hostmask of that nickname, and a word description of how long ago the nick was last used by the owner.

SET	Syntax: SET <option> <parameters>
	Sets various nickname options. <option> can be one of:
	ENFORCE	Turn nick enforcement on or off.
	SECURE	Turn nickname security on or off.
	PRIVATE	Prevent your nickname from appearing in a
		/NickServ LIST
	PASSWORD	Set your nickname password.
	URL	Associate a URL with your nickname.

	Type /NickServ HELP SET <option> for more information on a specific option.

*** Note: You may find additional settings for your nick relating to memo options by typing:
/MemoServ HELP SET

SET EMAIL	Syntax: SET EMAIL <email@address.com><personal answer>
	Syntax: SET EMAIL NONE
	Setting an e-mail provides you with much more security than just having a password. If your password is stolen, the user can't steal the nick without e-mail confirmation from you. The only way to change your e-mail is to answer the personal question you gave at registration time. If you forget what your personal question was, you may look it up by typing /NickServ MYQUESTION. If the network doesn't have e-mail authorization mandatory, you can delete your e-mail from the records using NONE as the only parameter. You may also toggle displaying or keeping your e-mail confidential by using the SET SHOWEMAIL command.

SET ENFORCE	Syntax: SET ENFORCE [ON\|OFF]
	Turns the automatic enforcement option for your nick on or off. With enforcement on, it will be much harder for someone to use your nick. They will be given one minute to change to another nick, after which they will be forcibly renamed, and will be unable to change back for a short period. Users matching your nick's access list will not be forced into changing their nick unless the SECURE setting is ON.

SET ICQ	Syntax: SET ICQ <#uin>
	Syntax: SET ICQ NONE
	Associates the given ICQ uin with the nick. This uin (user identification number) will be displayed whenever someone requests information on the nick with the INFO command. ICQ (I-Seek-You) is a very popular internet instant messaging system. The NONE command will remove your ICQ information.

SET NEVEROP	Syntax: SET NEVEROP [ON\|OFF]
	Prevent ChanServ from giving you channel operator status upon joining a registered channel. ChanServ will also set -o if someone gives you operator status. You may still use the OP command to have services set you +o.

SET NOOP	Syntax: SET NOOP [ON\|OFF]
	Disallows your nick to be added to channel access lists. This option will not delete you from any current channel access lists your nick is currently on.

SET PASSWORD	Syntax: SET PASSWORD <new password>
	Changes the password used to identify you as the nick's owner. You will receive a confirmation e-mail to authorize the password change. This password change will not take effect until the instructions from the authorization e-mail is carried out.

SET SECURE	Syntax: SET SECURE [ON\|OFF]
	Turns NickServ's security features on or off for your nick. With SECURE set, you must enter your password before you will be recognized as the owner of the nick, regardless of whether your address is on the access list. This setting also requires the password to be given for the RELEASE and RECOVER commands. Otherwise, anyone may use RELEASE or RECOVER on your nick that matches any entry in your ACCESS list.

SET URL	Syntax: SET URL <url>
	Syntax: SET URL NONE
	Associates the given URL with your nickname. This URL will be displayed whenever someone requests information on your nick with the INFO command. The URL's format must begin with either ftp://, http://, or mailto:.
Examples:	SET URL ftp://ftp.filoz.net
	SET URL http://www.filoz.net
	SET URL mailto:services@filoz.net
	Your url will not be displayed if NONE is specified.

SET PRIVATE	Syntax: SET PRIVATE [ON\|OFF]
	With this option to set to ON your nick will not be shown in NickServ's LIST command. However, even when set to ON, others may still see your general information using the INFO command, however, they must already know of your nickname.

SET MAILBLOCK	Syntax: SET MAILBLOCK [ON\|OFF]
	When MAILBLOCK is ON services will never e-mail your password to you. If you are confident you will never forget your password, then this is an extra security feature. However, if you enable this feature and forget your password, you will never be able to retrieve it again.

SET SHOWEMAIL	Syntax: SET SHOWEMAIL [ON\|OFF]
	When SHOWEMAIL is ON services will display your e-mail in your nickname information. By default, SHOWEMAIL is turned off so your e-mail address is hidden out of respect for your privacy.
