Note:
I made this post in Diapered Anime for those new to these Servs. I showed an IRCop the link and asked if I should put it up here in AnimeOTK and he said I should, so here it is.
For the Original post, go here.

Ok, I'm going to tell you guys about the IRC (Internet Relay Chat) NickServ and ChanServ commands.
There is basic IRC Tutorial made by Stevie here.
Please read that first, as that will help with general things.
These are for people who
1. Want/Need to register their Nickname
2. Want to open up their own channel.
NickServ
NickServ allows you to "register" a nickname and
prevent others from using it. The following
commands allow for registration and maintenance of
nicknames; to use them, type "
/msg NickServ COMMAND ".
For more information on a specific command, type
"
/msg NickServ HELP COMMAND ".
REGISTER Register a nickname
CONFIRM Confirm a nickserv auth code
RESEND Resend a nickserv auth code
GROUP Join a group
GLIST Lists all nicknames in your group
IDENTIFY Identify yourself with your password
ACCESS Modify the list of authorized addresses
SET Set options, including kill protection
DROP Cancel the registration of a nickname
RECOVER Kill another user who has taken your nick
RELEASE Regain custody of your nick after RECOVER
SENDPASS Forgot your password? Try this
GHOST Disconnects a "ghost" IRC session using your nick
ALIST List channels you have access on
INFO Displays information about a given nickname
LIST List all registered nicknames that match a given pattern
LOGOUT Reverses the effect of the IDENTIFY command
STATUS Returns the owner status of the given nickname
UPDATE Updates your current status, i.e. it checks for new memos
Nicknames that are not used anymore are subject to
the automatic expiration, i.e. they will be deleted
after 30 days if not used.
NOTICE: This service is intended to provide a way for
IRC users to ensure their identity is not compromised.
It is NOT intended to facilitate "stealing" of
nicknames or other malicious actions. Abuse of NickServ
will result in, at minimum, loss of the abused
nickname(s).
ChanServ
ChanServ allows you to register and control various
aspects of channels. ChanServ can often prevent
malicious users from "taking over" channels by limiting
who is allowed channel operator privileges. Available
commands are listed below; to use them, type
"
/msg ChanServ COMMAND ". For more information on a
specific command, type "
/msg ChanServ HELP COMMAND ".
REGISTER Register a channel
IDENTIFY Identify yourself with your password
SET Set channel options and information
SOP Modify the list of SOP users
AOP Modify the list of AOP users
HOP Maintains the HOP (HalfOP) list for a channel
VOP Maintains the VOP (VOicePeople) list for a channel
ACCESS Modify the list of privileged users
LEVELS Redefine the meanings of access levels
AKICK Maintain the AutoKick list

CLEAR Tells ChanServ to clear certain settings on a channel

LOGOUT This command will logout the selected nickname
TOPIC Manipulate the topic of the specified channel
INFO Lists information about the named registered channel
APPENDTOPIC Add text to a channels topic
ENFORCE Enforce various channel modes and set options
Note that any channel which is not used for 30 days
(i.e. which no user on the channel's access list enters
for that period of time) will be automatically dropped.
Now, there is all the information on NickServ and ChanServ.
Little Extras:
There are aliases, making it easier and quicker.
Instead of " /msg NickServ ", you can type " /ns "
And instead of " /msg ChanServ ", you can type " /cs "
Simple, huh?
Also, when Registering a Nickname, please remember that Yahoo! Mail is a serious pain in the ass, and can sometimes never get the actual mail to recieve the verification code. It can sometimes end up in the Spam folder, but I would recommend using GoogleMail.
Well, that's all there is to it.
If you need help, use the NickServ/ChanServ help commands, or you can always ask an Operator of the channels, or even me if you like.
Thanks!
