This reduces the risk of you sending your password to everyone in chat if you get the commands wrong. It is best to type the registration commands there, rather than in the chat channels. In your chat client, you will have a server window titled “ScoutLink” that contains some technical information. Below, we will show you how to do this! Please note: in some clients, /msg NickServ can be shortened to /NickServ or /ns, but if you’re unsure, use the long version of the command. NickServ is an IRC service that allows people to register their nick and prevent other users from using it.

You don’t have to register your nick to use ScoutLink IRC (Webchat) but there are benefits of doing this. If you don’t want others to use it, then you may like to register it.
