Hey, I'm a regular in the chat and for some reason I've been g-lined and banned from the server for something i didn't do.

Here's the message i get when i try to log in: "1217268043 Banned, Spam y molestias en la red (expires at Lunes, 28 de Julio de 2008 -- 20:00 +02:00)."

So can someone with authority try to get this rescinded for me? Because this is bull****...

Thanks.

Try again now....

But sounds like something from the server not the chat ops.

Damn i hope that doesn't mean banned until July 28.

Hi,

I've been inexplicably banned from irc-hispano yet again... So can someone get my ban lifted?

Thanks.

That's weird it should ban you from the channal not the network. Hmmms. Poor Mitchy. I'm pretty sure no person banned you so it probably just has to sort itself out. It might need for your address to change which seems to happen every so often.

awww (cpat) It'll be ok

"Don't be shy." - Thanks u cured me.

i've been having problems with it too, it simplilly wont letme connect - the irc server tells that my ISP is blocked or something... and the 7 posts a day rule is hitting me...

You may try changing your IP adress - restarting you modem would do it - if you use a modem ^^

You can temporarily unblock your current IP address yourself by

• Copying the code that appears when you connect. It looks something like "B[oMNo" and
  
  Then going to http://www.irc-hispano.es/borrar-g-line.html
  
  and pasting/typing that code into the box below the text "Introduce elcodigo de la G-Line"
  
  and then typing the 2nd code that appears as an image in the box below
  "Intoduce el valor de la imagen" in the textbox next to that image.
  
  Once its done it should say "G-LINE Eliminada".

Above will work until you change your IP address. This depends on how you connect to your ISP.

The real problem is the people who are running IRC-Hispano (the site that SocialPhobiaWorld uses for chat) is blocking people using a DNS blocklist. In this case it seems to be Spamhaus.org 's PBL (see http://www.spamhaus.org/pbl/index.lasso ).

In fact this particular list is for IP addresses which should not be mail servers. That is almost all normal users of internet should be on this list. Its _not_ meant to be a list of known spammers. The IRC-hispano people seem to use it as a spammer block list.


ADMINS: Can you do anything about it? Like speaking to the website administrator about using another chat service? PM me if you want help.
