Comment on Why do some IRC servers enable unregistered chat moreso than other chat services (e.g. Discord)?

The IRC protocol has no concept of registering so implementing registration is a lot of unnecessary effort.

There are service bots, that are used by many of the irc networks, that handle this within irc itself (nickserv, chanserv, etc…).
