[Help]Constant Bans Using IRCCloud[Botnets]

[jwheare]

Hi I'm one of the two IRCCloud admins. I can assure you it's not due to spite. Due to the way our system works right now we can't give each user a separate IP or pass along a usable IP for them because we work as a bouncer service, so they're not always guaranteed to have an IP address.

We may in future just pass along the IP they held when they first connected, or maybe something involving IPv6 through the WEBIRC/cgiirc protocol, but it's worth noting that this would ultimately be a less effective way of uniquely identifying a user than the ident verified usernames we currently use which aren't changeable by users. We aim to keep our users connected to IRC even when they're offline and switch IPs.

Anyway, just to clarify that we very much would like to cooperate on this matter, and have spoken at length with Rizon admins in the past to figure out what we can do, but due to our current priorities and Rizon policy, there's no quick solution just yet.

Regards,
James Wheare
