I've been on hols for a week, i come back, try to login to the IRC, and hey presto i have been banned permanantly for "creating a nuisance in the channel" ... This is news to me, no one has said a word, let alone give me a warning. Can someone explain?


Edit: In fact, it says MANY channels... I've only ever been in #Cantr!!!!

Well, as i said, I've been away since..... sunday at 04:00 (when i left).
So its either a mistake, or someone has inpersonated me somehow. When was the last time you saw me, Doug?

"just the other day" is about as accurate as I can get...

Did you get that message when you tried to enter #cantr channel? Or maybe when you tried to log in to IRC server? In second case we can not help you.

In that case the ban is by the irc server admins and is out of our control- It sounds like you use a dynamic ip address which has been used or is similar to one used by someone who has been banned

You could contact the irc server owners/admins - irc.gnug.org has a web site at www.gnug.org - They may be able to help ,I'd recommend you give as much info as you can when you make the inquiry
