Title: Banned?
Post by: Thaeris on June 10, 2010, 10:00:22 pm
I know there was mention of problems with #hard-light a while ago, but I've no idea where those threads are at. Regardless, after getting onto Mibbit, linking to Esper and puching in the proper data, I get the notification that I'm banned from the channel, of all things. Is this just Esper/#hard-light acting up, or have I been kicked from chat for no reason known to myself?

I dunno of any reason why you would be b&.

I will attempt to rectify.

Well, this is what I get upon trying to get in - I've never seen this before:

91.205.185.104: Closing Link: chi1542-134-254.ppp.netnitco.net (Banned)

This is on the chat page itself:

20:38 invincible.esper.net *** Looking up your hostname...
20:38 invincible.esper.net *** Found your hostname
20:38 invincible.esper.net *** Banned Temporary K-line 10080 min. - You are banned from this network: Spam (ludwig). To contact EsperNet visit http://www.esper.net/contact.php (2010/6/7 04.48)

Perhaps this is helpful?

Hmm..... If I'm reading this right, you or someone using your IP got himself a network-wide ban. And since there's no op named "ludwig" on #hard-light, it probably wasn't related to anything that happened on #hard-light or the associated channels.

Looks like your host was banned from the network.  Probably someone acting up with a similar IP address. It's temporary so it should expire after the 10080 minutes listed there.

Or a week, to put it in human terms.

This is why the internet should hurry up in switching to IPv6 so things like this won't have to happen anymore with enough addresses for everyone.

Thanks IceFire. At least I understand what the problem was now. :)

Not network-wide; that would be a g-line. A k-line is only for one particular server.
