Some Channels enforce the flag for registered users.

I've visited networks where you have forced you to register nicks. You have the option to leave, but same principle.

Some channels do indeed enforce registered users. But the message you quoted is 100% because you were using someone's nickname and they enabled nick protection.

No. My nick was an unregistered nick. I know IRC -.- don't tell me otherwise.

"To use this server you MUST register with IRC services."

The server had mandatory nickserv registration.
