+handle
+
+ Your server account name is known as your "handle." It is your identity on
+the server. Some users prefer to have handles similar to their real names;
+others do not. The choice is up to you. But whatever you decide to have as
+your handle, please be aware that handles for registered users are permanent.
+Admins do not change handles for registered users except in extreme cases
+(very rare). So please select a handle that you will feel comfortable with
+for a long time.
+
+ No two users can have the same handle, of course. To see which handles have
+already been taken, use the "handles" command.
+
+ Lastly, admins reserve the right to deny your using a particular handle. If
+the handle you want is offensive or might lead to too much confusion among
+users (such as various reserved words or commands), you may be asked to change
+it. Profane and crude handles are not permitted. Unregistered users who
+logon with profane and/or crude handles may be disconnected from the server,
+even without warning. Unregistered users who persist in adopting
+inappropriate handles may be prevented from accessing the server.
