+Unable to Speak
+==========
+
+If a channel is set to mode `+r`, you won't be able to join it unless you are registered and identified to NickServ. If you try to join, you might be forwarded to
+a different channel. If a channel is set to quiet unregistered users (mode `+q $~a`), you won't be able to speak while on that channel unless you are registered
+and identified.
+
+Both of these modes are used by some channels to reduce channel harassment and abuse.
+
+Once you have registered and are logged in, this issue should disappear.
