Private Messages with Unregistered Users
Apr 7th
On GeekShed, the default settings require a user to be registered in order to send private messages (PMs) or /notice. This default setting helps protect everyone against spammers.
There are times, however, when you want to be able to have a private conversation with someone who is not registered. Fortunately, there’s an easy solution.
To have a private conversation with someone who is unregistered (or if you are unregistered yourself), set the following mode:
/mode <nick> -R
For example
/mode Charles -R
This mode change is not permanent. You need to use this command each time you login.
