help text
Usage: RELEASE <nick> [password>] This command will release a nick which is being held by a nick enforcr. An enforcer will go away in two minutes if release is not used. You must either have identified for the nick or include the password in the command. See recover for more information. Example: /msg nickserv release jimmy jimpassword This command should generally be used after using recover. You may find a nick of yours that has protect set on being enforced, this is because someone was recently trying to use it. Many new users get confused by the enforcer, and think that someone took their nick. Enforcer is just a part of services.
