NETWORK BANS - For all "SPAM" reasons

[C.G.]

Well, I had to get a account here, just to solve this.


Last friday night, I was invited to get in irc.dejatoons.net, and I visited the #gensokyo channel. Stood there for a while, hardly talked, just meet some new faces, then logged off.

Today, by curiosity, I noticed I couldn't log into the server. Here's the message:


* Connecting to 63.243.153.239 (6667)

-
Closing Link: CG[av3-84-90-165-84.netvisao.pt] (User has been banned from DejaToons (Channel spamming is not allowed on this network))



I didn't spam the channel (I have logs, and you can ask them too), and I was only once inside the server. Nobody else uses this laptop or anything.
I'm intrigued, how did this happen? Can you do something, please?

I used the Mibbit web-based IRC, to test if I had the same problems. I was able to log inside the server, under the nickname "RoseGunn".

I went to the channel #help, and I asked if someone could help me with ban appeals. I only wrote one single line. In a channel with 28 users, nobody answered, all was silent. I gave up, and logged off.


I tried to log back in, today, and I got this.

1:51 batcave.dejatoons.net *** Looking up your hostname...
1:51 batcave.dejatoons.net *** Checking ident...
1:51 batcave.dejatoons.net *** Received identd response

1:51 ERROR: | [0] Closing Link: RoseGunn[webchat.mibbit.com] (User has been permanently banned from DejaToons (used for evading))
1:51 - - - - Disconnected - - - -


This is starting to become frustrating.

- Without counting with the Mibbit test, I was only -once- inside the irc.dejatoons.net server.
- I was only in one single channel, already mentioned, invited by a friend, and I almost didn't chat.
- Nobody else uses this laptop or goes to the same irc server.

How is this possible? I want to visit the channel again, and I can't, because I was banned for something I didn't do.

I'm banned from dejatoons and I don't know why. I just started visiting #pokebeach.com again to see some of my friends and find some ssbb matches. Here's what I get when I try to join:

I never spammed... Help!

Everyone is now unbanned (well, you two are).

C.G.
I couldn't find a ban on your host so I'm assuming it was a temporary ban. If not please let me know.

Hi, I got banned for spam for no apparent reason. I've been using Dejatoons for years without any problems. I frequent the room #rpgdl in particular. I use the nicks Anastasia and Kotono.

I really have no idea what would provoke this.
