Accept a request to be added to someone's buddy list. Once the accept command is sent, you will be added and that person will be sent a memo informing them that their request was approved. This command is the same as AUTH APPROVE.
Example:
/msg nickserv auth accept 3
You will probably want to list your authorization requests before accepting any so that you can be sure that you are accepting the correct ones.
This command works the same way as AUTH ACCEPT. It will accept a buddy request and memo the person who sent it that their request was approved.
Example:
/msg nickserv auth approve 2
This command will reject a request to add you to someone's buddy list. You will not be added and the person who sent the request will receive a memo informing them.
Example:
/msg nickserv auth decline 4
As with similar commands, you may want to list your requests before sending a decline so that you are sure you are decliniing the correct one.
This command will give you a list of buddy requests. You can then read them and choose to accept or decline them as you see fit. The numbers next to each request are the numbers you will need to use in AUTH commands to refer to those requests.
Example:
/msg nickserv auth list
This is the first step toward dealing with authorization requests. First you should list them, then read them, and then accept or decline/reject as you see fit.
This command will let you read an authorization request.
Example:
/msg nickserv read 2
You can use the auth list command to find the authorization request's number.
Much like the AUTH DECLINE command this command will prevent you from being added to someone's buddy list, but the other person will not be notified.
Example:
/msg nickserv auth reject 1
You may wish to reject a buddy list request rather than decline it either if you do not want the person informed that you rejected it, rather than simply failing to respond. Another reason to use reject is if the request was sent by accident or you spoke with the person who sent it so that no memo would be necessary.
Same as the AUTH READ COMMAND. It will display an authorization request for you.
Example:
/msg nckserv auth view 3
