When I come online, someone called Nickserv says that Im using someone elses nickname. Who is Nickserv and why is he bothering me?
Dalnet has several programs that protect channels and users. Chanserv protects channels and Nickserv protects nicknames. Registered nicknames are protected by Nickserv, but unregistered nicknames are not. Some registered nicknames are kill-protected, which means that if you keep using the nick, you will be kicked off the network. Nickserv gives you time to change your nickname to something else. For most IRC clients, typing /nick newnick will get you your new nickname. For example, let’s say you’d like to change to Bernice. You would type: /nick Bernice and suddenly your nickname is Bernice. (I wouldn’t suggest choosing that nick since it is already registered.
