Chat room issues...

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So can someone with authority try to get this rescinded for me?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 bullshit...

Thanks.

Try again now....

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

"(expires at Lunes, 28 de Julio de 2008 -- 20:00 +02:00)"
Damn i hope that doesn't mean banned until July 28.

The problem has apparently been resolved... I'm in the chat now.

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.

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

http://www.irc-hispano.es/borrar-g-line.html

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.
