Registering your nickname
Type the following command to register your nickname:
/msg nickserv register password valid@email.address
Note: The email address must be a valid email address you can use, and password must be a valid password (i.e., it cannot be your nickname or less than 5 characters long).
Mibbit Users Note: Creating a account Mibbit does not mean that you have registered on Rizon. Nick registration on Rizon is completely different and not affiliated with Mibbit in any way.
qChat Users Note: You can simply type /register
to initiate nickname registration prompts.
After issuing that command, an email will be sent with a confirmation code to your email address. Copy and paste the codes within 24 hours from your email address you just registered to complete the registration process; otherwise the nick will be available for others to register:
/msg nickserv confirm confirmationCode
Now that you have registered your nickname, you can request a vhost or register a channel.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
Wrong Email: If you entered a wrong email address in your nick registration, you can issue the following command and then re-register your nickname:
/msg nickserv cancel password
(password is the password you used to register your nick before)
Lost Password: If you have lost your password, you can issue the following command:
/msg nickserv resetpass nickname
After which, you will receive an email with instructions on how to reset your password.
Expired Nick: Registered nicks will expire after 90 days of inactivity; i.e., you must IDENTIFY the nickname before the expiration date:
/msg nickserv identify password
