/help command output is bad, not clear, nothing is really clear, every
starting guy has a problem, how to register, how to login... how to
identify, how to change nick, GROUP to add a nick... meh commands for
irc are just bad, if you think otherwise please tell me why i am
wrong?

is it possible to change commands, ever? for now i give up on irc, i
am frustrated that each day i have to learn bunch of stuff that i dont
want to learn, just to do simple things like chat...

The commands you're referring to will depend on which network you're
looking for help with. For example, Snoonet has a page available at
[https://snoonet.org/anope](https://snoonet.org/anope) which lists the
different services we provide and examples of how to use them.

First - what client are you using? Mirc, irssi, weechat, adiirc, etc
etc

Second - What network are you trying to use?

I would he happy to help you along the way and help automate the
process instead of you having to throw many commands in to get what
you want out of the IRC experience... Because it's definitely worth
putting the work into!

```/help``` really depends on the client. If you want to see IRCd
help, ```/quote help```

> how to register

See ```/msg NickServ help register``` (make sure you use a legit
email, some networks require verification)

> how to login... how to identify

See ```/msg NickServ help identify```

>how to change nick

See ```/quote help nick``` or ```/quote helpop nick``` depending on
the IRCd. Or if you are just lazy, ```/nick newnick```

> GROUP to add a nick...

See ```/msg NickServ help group```

>meh commands for irc are just bad

Because you have never used IRC before. You have no understanding of
the most basic commands. You can't call something bad when you don't
understand the basics.

>please tell me why i am wrong?

See above.

Used to be on IRC in the 90s and the commands were quite esoteric. Its
a shame it hasnt gotten any easier

The whole point of IRC is that it's simple.

Simple, not easy.
