Are you sure it was prompting you to register rather than to authenticate? It sounds like you were using a nick someone else registered, but you can usually use unregistered nicks freely.
- doublerabbit 3y agoSome Channels enforce the flag for registered users. I've visited networks where you have forced you to register nicks. You have the option to leave, but same principle.
- tredre3 3y agoSome channels do indeed enforce registered users. But the message you quoted is 100% because you were using someone's nickname and they enabled nick protection.
- doublerabbit 3y agoNo. My nick was an unregistered nick. I know IRC -.- don't tell me otherwise. "To use this server you MUST register with IRC services." The server had mandatory nickserv registration.
