+Registering accounts
+--------------------
+
+To register an account:
+
+    /register [password]
+
+To identify yourself connect with your previous nick, then:
+
+    /identify [password]
+
+The first account to be registered gets oper status.
+
+A passwords file in the state directory contains password hashes. The word "oper" is appended to any accounts with oper status.
+
+
+Basic moderation
+----------------
+
+To kick other users you must have oper status. Identify yourself with a password, as above, then to kick:
+
+    /kick [nickname]
+
+Unlike most IRC servers kicking disconnects the user from all channels. This is intended for small scale use where you may only have a few channels on the server and you want minimum administrative overhead. If you made a mistake then you can:
+
+    /unban [nickname]
