Forums mIRC Help banned before I got to use my reg name? Help?!

Im banned from a channel I alway was allowed access to unreg. and I got a new reg. name and Im now banned? I havent even got to use it yet! Tel me the commad to use my reg name and how to change it since its in use already by someone else?

It would be really useful to know what network you're experiencing this problem on!

Many of the big networks, bar DALnet, do not allow registrations of nicknames only usernames. If you are using DALnet though, try:

/nickserv ghost nickname password

Or for any other network with *services:

/msg nickserv ghost nickname password

You could also try the #Help channel on your network, or the network website.

As for not being able to enter a channel because you're banned, there is nothing we can do. You can use:

/mode #Channel b

and look up which ban is stopping you from entering the channel - next to that ban should be the OP (@) who banned you. You can try contacting them via /msg:

/msg nickname message-HERE

Again, if you're using DALnet:

/MemoServ send Nickname Memo-HERE

Or for some other networks:

/msg MemoServ send Nickname Memo-HERE

However, like I said, other than that there isn't much we can do - people have the right to ban you for *whatever* reason they want, be it racist, sexist, ageist or any other *ist.

If you're not allowed in because "You need to identify to a registered nickname to join that channel" then I presume the network *IS* DALnet, in which case you need to:

1) Follow the instructions in your email to complete the registration. Use the AUTH code in the email, which comes in the form:

/msg nickserv@services.dal.net AUTH Your-Nickname R<AUTH CODE>

OR IF YOU'VE DONE THAT

2) Use the NickServ identify command:

/NickServ Identify Password

For other, smaller networks that have services, try:

/msg NickServ Identify Password

I hope this helps. If it doesn't, include what network you're using in your next post and *ALL* other necessary details (e.g. channel modes - type /mode #channel)

Good luck, and happy chatting.

Regards,

Are you sure you were banned?

There are a lot of channels now requiring that you use the channel key to access the channel.
