So so lost. HexChat help with "registering"? reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2021-09-05 13:55 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KindOne · 2021-09-05 13:57 What nickname are you trying to use? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KindOne · 2021-09-05 15:00 Actually, take screenshots of your hexchat settings. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2021-09-05 16:39 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- igadjeed · 2021-09-05 17:21 Your nickname begins with a '0' ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BlackGyver · 2021-09-05 18:03 Without the exact error messages and their order I can't really tell what the issue is, but maybe the channel (or even the network, if that's possible), wants you to register a nickname through NickServ before allowing you to stay? Try registering one with `/msg NickServ REGISTER password email` . Then you'll have to identify using `/msg NickServ IDENTIFY password` (there are also fields to automate this on initial connection in the Network options). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SmallerBork · 2021-09-05 19:25 I had trouble with this too. This was what helped me. https://libera.chat/guides/registration The most important commands out of this are here /msg NickServ REGISTER YourPassword youremail@example.com /msg NickServ IDENTIFY YourNick YourPassword If that still doesn't work it might be because of needing to authenticate for SSL. Not all networks require that though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- evilgold · 2021-09-05 20:05 I'm guessing this is a private torrent tracker and you haven't read /are not following the rules. As I dont have an account on the tracker I can't read their rules or special instructions located here: https://orpheus.network/wiki.php?action=article&name=irc But that would be where you should start. I'm going to guess that you need to be invited to this site/tracker first and use your the same username that you registered on the sitee. Also its clear that they've implemented flood protection so the more you try and fail to login or run any commands the longer you will have to wiat to issue another. I dont see any sort of "overwhelming" messages, just the general instructions on how to register, rules and a link the the FAQ. Can I get an invite to that site btw? Happy to try and help more as both a former What.CD/APOLLO and current IRC user but I suspect one needs an account on the site to even do anything on their IRC. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2021-09-06 12:31 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2021-09-06 12:35 [deleted]
