Nick And Channel Dispute Policy
Nicks and channels are registered on a first come, first served basis. In situations where the Admin team believes there to be a clear case of nick or channel stealing, services admins may intervene to settle the situation at their discretion. The decision of the Admin team is final.
Users wishing to report nick or channel "stealing" should do so via the #help channel. Please include as much information about the event as possible, including logs.
Users should note that such cases of nick or channel "stealing" can only occur through carelessness such as sharing passwords, accidentally pasting them to public channels or picking passwords that are trivial to guess. In a dispute, decisions over nick/channel ownership will be made by admins based only on information such as logs from services and what staff members have personally witnessed. As such there is no guarantee that a nick or channel will be returned to its original owner in these situations.
Users who persistently "lose" their nicks/channels are also unlikely to be taken seriously.
