Answer 1

nickn_name and cell_phone and phone_number are not validation rules?
so you cannot put them in the rule string. Your validation rules should looks as follow:
$this->validate($request, [
'nick_name' => 'required|unique:users|max:30',
'cellphone' => 'required|unique:users|numeric|size:11',
'captcha' => 'required|numeric|size:6',
'password' => 'required|min:6|max:30'
]);

Answer 2

I think is because you are using snake_case for nick_name, and somehow the validator thinks that you are calling a custom validation rule called nickName (bits of Laravel always convert snake_case to camelCase when helpers are called)... why would you call nickname nick_name ? In english I think is just one word...
