9 | As a network, we feel it is hugely important to maintain close relationships with our many communities and users. Our interactions with users in #freenode and elsewhere on the network, fielding support requests and assisting users, help build and maintain these relationships. | |
10 | ||
11 | But we're constantly looking for things to change and make better, and one of the pieces of feedback we've had is that users would like a little automation - and the ability to be able to resolve some of their own support requests. | |
12 | ||
13 | We recognise that allowing users to generate their own password reset e-mails brings us in line with other registration systems online and may provide a higher quality of service. | |
14 | ||
15 | So for now, if you are having difficulties accessing your account, you can generate your own password reset e-mail using the following command: | |
16 | ||
17 | ||
18 | /msg NickServ SENDPASS <account> | |
19 | ||
20 | ||
21 | This command will only work with an offline account (i.e. it won't work if a client is logged into your account via NickServ), and should obviously only be used on an account that you believe is yours. | |
22 | ||
23 | We will be keeping an eye on how this feature is used, and may retain it permanently if it proves to be helpful and non-harmful! |
