As on Wikipedia itself, you can use IRC with a name that hides your [[IP address]], and allows you to remember your preferred settings. If you have any special access rights to any channel, those will be remembered under your name too. On IRC these are two separate matters – '''registering''' a nickname is quick and easy (like on Wikipedia itself), and that name is then password protected for your own use, and '''cloaking''' is the request to have the account configured to hide its IP address from other users. These matters are all covered in the [[Wikipedia:IRC/Tutorial|IRC tutorial]].
