Title: Banned from #Omnimaga IRC room
Post by: darkfire on June 10, 2009, 11:24:58 pm
Hello Guys I decided because with this contest I should join the irc room to ask some question. But when I clicked on the irc link on the top of the page and entered the room I was automatically banned. I didn't even have the chance to say hello. It was Celtic III that banned me.  It just happend a few minutes a go 10:24 CST -6 GMT. Can that ban be removed thankyou

He must be using a T-mobile phone as a modem like I am. T-mobile rotates their ip addresses so that may be the reason. i landed on the a banned ip. Was the ip itself banned. Or the whole host domain cause that can lend to  problems.

I belive it's the host domain due to ban evasion.

Hmm, then if you want to keep that user banned i will be out of luck, since this is my only way of connecting to the internet over my phone, sigh...

woops, sorry about that. It's because the user in question kept ban evading. He joined at least 3 times from the tmodns hostmask from 3 different IP address, so I had to disable the entire ISP. I had to do that 3 years ago with an entire France ISP because spambots kept joining, then later with an entire Netherlands university (Utwentle) because someone kept ban evading x.x. I will get rid of the entire cellphone ban now, though, because the user hasn't joined the channel from his phone in more than half a year.

If somehow he rejoins (altough I doubt it), I'll just setup your nickname so it's exempt from the ban (you would still get kicked when joining from the IRC client on the site, but then you could do /nick DarkFire, then type /join #omnimaga so you would be able to rejoin fine

For now try again, I removed the ban
