In order to use the advanced features of ChanServ, HostServ or MemoServ, you MUST have identified to a nick you have registered.


Registering your channel

There are a few conditions that must be met in order to register a channel:

  • You will need a registered nickname. If your nickname is not registered, see Register your nickname.
  • You must have operator status or above (@, &, ~) on the channel.
    • NOTE: You will receive operator status automatically when you join an empty, unregistered channel.
    • NOTE: If there are idlers in the channel, and the channel is not registered, you may /join #services for assistance; however, this is only in the case where none of the idlers have operator status.
  • The channel may not be registered already. To check if the channel is registered or not you can use the info command: /msg chanserv info #channel


If these conditions are met, you will be able to register your channel using:

/msg ChanServ REGISTER #channel password description

Where you replace the following:

#channel

The name of your channel.

password

The channel password is used to identify you as the channels owner, and is much like the nickserv password in terms of how it is used to identify to a channel (It is different from a channel key). However, as you are the original founder you will be automatically identified to chanserv for all channels you have registered when you identify to nickserv. If you would like to share the founder level control of the channel with a friend, and make sure you're absolutely sure about doing so, you may give them the channel password as well.

description

This is a description of your channels purpose, it is not the same as a channel topic. This will be seen when someone uses the info command for your channel (as shown above) and can be changed at any later date.


What's next?

So, you followed the commands above and successfully registered your channel, but what's next?

BotServ

You can request a BotServ bot. First use the command /msg BotServ botlist or look at the Botserv list page to see the bot nicks and choose one that you like.

Then, to assign a botserv bot, use /msg BotServ assign #channel bot where #channel is the name of the channel you are assigning it to and bot is the bot you are assigning.

Now that you have a bot assigned, visit BotServ commands for more information.
