Feature request: Allow authentication to Q on Quakenet

[heinrich5991]

Q is the account service of Quakenet. The authentication works by sending a PRIVMSG to Q@CServe.quakenet.org or by using the custom AUTH command.

Direct support for this would be useful, as it could then delay channel joining until after authentication (and possibly cloaking) finished.

If you connect to quakenet and take the nick of a registered user without authing first.
Do you get a notice or a privmsg or something from Q ? (like on freenode) This can be used to trigger the auth command.

If so, could you paste an example of this ?

There is no concept of registered nicks on Quakenet. The purpose of accounts is that you can get permissions in channels that know you. You can also cloak your hostname by setting the user mode +x: https://www.quakenet.org/help/general/what-user-modes-are-available-on-quakenet.

I suppose that you may start registering directly after you have fully connected to Quakenet (at the point where you'd normally join a channel).

PRIVMSG Q@CServe.quakenet.org :AUTH <username> <password>

or in a client:

/msg Q@CServe.quakenet.org AUTH <username> <password>
