How to Register for the Troll Room
While everybody is free to troll around in our Troll Room, because we're on the internet, we do require our
trolls to register a nickname to verify they're not spam bots. This section will explain how to register a
nickname, which needs to happen only once, and how to identify when you connect to the chat server.
For nickname registration and identification we use a special
system called 'NickServ'. You interact with it by talking
to it in a private query.
Registering your Nickname
By registering your nickname, you become the owner of it.
To register it, which needs to happen only once, issue the
following command:
/ns register <password> <emailaddress>
Of course, <password> needs to be replaced by the password
you prefer, and <emailaddress> needs to be your valid email
address. Please do not actually write the < and > charachters.
The email address is only used to send a confirmation
email with further instructions, and for nickname recovery
in case you lose your password. It's not used for
anything else.
Identifying to your Nickname
Every time you connect to the chat, you need to identify
as the owner of the nickname. This is really easy. After
connecting, just type the following:
/id <password>
Advanced users can also use their password as the server
password (this is used with IRC clients), or even better,
use SASL.
Being Allowed to Chat after Having Identified
To become unmuted ("being voiced"), all you need to do
after identifying, is to supply the following command:
/cs voice #NoAgenda
If it worked, your nickname will become prefixed in
#NoAgenda with a '+'-sign. If this doesn't work, something
went wrong with either the registration part or the
identifying part.
