FAQ's for New Chatters


Why should I register my nickname?

If you plan to chat regularly (at least once every 30 days) you should register your nick. That way no one else can use the same nick, and when you enter the channel everyone will know it's really you. The ScoutLink network encourages regular chatters to register their nick, although it is not required. 

How do I register my nickname?

Before you register have a password chosen and write it down. You will need the password to identify after signing on in the future. This is how ScoutLink knows the nickname is yours. Typing in the box in your program where you normally type your chat, type /nickserv register password email replacing password with a password you will remember (or write it down!), and replacing email with your e-mail address.  Passwords are case-sensitive.  You should received a message saying that your registration was accepted, and reminding what password you gave.  If you receive no response, check the command and try again.  Once your nick has been registered, you'll need to Identify each time you log on to ScoutLink.  If you need help, please do not hesitate to ask any of the regular chatters for assistance.

How do I identify?

To identify after you connect to ScoutLink, in the box where you normally type your chat, enter /nickserv identify password  Replace the word password with your chosen password. The server should identify you.  If it does not accept your password, double-check the spelling, capitalization, and such, and then try again.
