Register a room

Registering tells ChanServ that the room is yours. It then remembers the topic, the settings and who may do what, even when everyone has left.

Before you start

• Your nickname must be registered and you must be identified. See Register a nickname.
• You must be in the room and be an operator there.

Register

/msg ChanServ REGISTER #book-club A club for fiction lovers

The words after the room name are the room's description. You are now the founder. The room belongs to your nickname, not to a separate password.

What you get

• The room keeps its topic, settings and lists when it is empty.
• You decide who can enter, speak and moderate. See Access lists.
• ChanServ gives operator status to the people you list.
• The room is marked +r (registered) and starts with the locked modes +rtn-k: registered, only operators set the topic, no outside messages, no key.

Identify to a room

ChanServ commands for a room check who you are by your nickname, so just be identified. Old commands that say "room password" use your nickname's password.

Keep it alive

A registered room expires if you stop using your nickname and nobody is opped in it for a long time. Come back now and then.
