The Knight February 6, 2013 Share February 6, 2013 I don't know how... but I'm banned from the IRC chat, I haven't ever joined before. (well I joined once, for about .5 seconds and then left, but thats it) Can I get some feedback? Did I connect differently than I was supposed to? I'm kind of confused.

Get on and private message "Quora", I'll see why you're banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuessWho February 6, 2013 Share February 6, 2013 In the case of IP or hostname bans: If you didn't earn it, it could be passed on to you from someone else on the same ISP. Some ISP's make use of Dynamic IPs. For example: My IP changes every day. The hostname I get is IP@ISP. If I get banned today and assigned a new IP tomorrow, the ban will be passed on to the person that gets the IP I was using today. If I wish to evade a ban, I simply need to reset my DSL router and I'll be assigned a new IP immediately. Then some other poor bastard will sit with the ban intended for me (assuming he also visits the site / IRC channel in question). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Knight February 7, 2013 Author Share February 7, 2013 Well I'll talk to Quora. I'm on a different computer than the first time I joined the IRC (as in I got a new one) but I only was in it for less than 10 seconds, and I said nothing. If thats the entire reason I'm banned, then in my opinion I think there needs to be some changes with the way the IRC chat is moderated, just sayin. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

TulpaCouple February 7, 2013 Share February 7, 2013 You wouldn't have been banned for just lurking. It's possible someone was banned and passed you the IP ban. Happened to me before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Knight February 7, 2013 Author Share February 7, 2013 I see. Still kind of weird how common that seems to happen. Thanks for the tip (as always) Oh also how would I go about messaging Quora? Would I do that as a PM in the forums? or is there an IRC command someone can tell me? (or something else?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sands February 7, 2013 Share February 7, 2013 And that's why permanent bans are silly. The THE SUBCONCIOUS ochinchin occultists frt.sys (except Roswell because he doesn't want to be a part of it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
