Nickname Registration
Welcome to HybridIRC's nickname registration page! Registering a nickname is completely FREE.
By registering, you ensure that no one else on the server can use your chosen nickname. Registration helps safeguard your identity and unlocks additional features. However, if your nickname remains unused for one year, it will expire and become available for others to register. Any channel access or ownership associated with the nickname will be lost or transferred to the first designated successor (if one exists).
Steps to Register a Nickname
1. Check Nickname Availability
Make sure your desired nickname is not already registered or in use:
/msg NickServ info <nickname>
2. Register Your Nickname
Use the following command to register:
/msg NickServ register <password> <e-mail>
3. Verify Your Email Address
Complete the process by following the instructions sent to your email from "HybridIRC Network Services."
> Note: Check your spam or junk folder if you don’t see the activation email in your inbox. Mark the email as "Not spam/junk" if necessary.
If verification is not completed within 24 hours, your nickname will be released and available for others to register.
Incorrect Email Address
If you entered the wrong email, you can cancel and start over by using the DROP command:
/msg NickServ drop <nickname> <password>
Example:
/msg NickServ drop Dave I3C00ki3SWch0co1aTe
Temporary Nickname Registration
When you first register a nickname, it is temporarily reserved until your email address is verified. If you do not complete the email verification process within 24 hours, the nickname registration will expire, and the nickname will be available for others to register.
What if I Don’t Have an Email Address?
You can still use your nickname without registering it, even if you don’t have or prefer not to provide a valid email address. However, without an email address, you won’t be able to complete the registration process or verify your nickname. If someone else registers the same nickname in the future, you will lose access to it and will need to select a new nickname.
Invalid Email Address
While attempting to register, you might encounter one of the following error messages from NickServ:
"Sorry, we do not accept registrations with email addresses from that domain. Use another address."
or
"[email] is not a valid e-mail address."
These errors indicate that the provided email address does not meet the network’s requirements. Below are common causes and solutions.
Why Does This Happen?
Your email address may be rejected for these reasons:
- Restricted Domain: The email domain you are using (e.g., disposable or temporary email services) is blocked for registrations.
- Invalid Format: Email addresses must contain only:
* Letters (a–z, A–Z) * Numbers (0–9) * Periods (.)
- Typing Errors: Verify your email address has no mistakes, such as:
* Missing characters (e.g., no "@" or domain name). * Extra spaces or prohibited special characters.
How to Fix This
To resolve the issue, follow these steps:
- Use a Valid Email Address
Provide an email address from a recognized provider (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook).
- Avoid Restricted Domains
Do not use disposable or temporary email addresses, as they are not permitted.
- Double-Check for Typos
Review your email address for accuracy before submitting it.
Examples of Valid and Invalid Email Addresses
Valid:
- john.doe@gmail.com
- jenny2024@yahoo.com
- mike_123@example.org
Invalid:
- myemail@@example.com (extra @ symbol)
- user!name@temporarymail.xyz (restricted domain)
