#DontJoinItsATrap

[token]

I was first? XD Is this thing permanent?

It should say how many 'minutes' you're banned for when you try to connect, such as 43200 minutes, aka 30 days. If you want an easy way to convert minutes to days, just put '### minutes to days' into google and it'll convert it for you.

You'll see the message like this when you try to connect.

*** Banned Temporary K-line 43200 min. - [fiberOptiC] join/part flooding (tokenote: he means part flooding i guess since i wasnt joining anything.. it was the server doing it, i swear!) - visit http://kline.rizon.net/ if you believe this ban is an error. (2009/2/7 17.26)

Take minutes, google, enjoy. If you don't see minutes ot 'temporary', you might have been permabanned, in which case, lol...

[Overmind^___^]

Nothing about ban. I just get two modes every time I connect :

* Overmind^___^ sets mode: +Dg

So I can't join any channels.

Hm, interesting. I'd see if you can private message an admin or staff member about that since it's not really a kline or akill, and im not sure how intentional that is. In fact, Nessun loves dealing with things like this, you should ask him

i've seen many a man fall victim to this channel

i show them no pity

[TRaSH]

this is a stupid thing,
if you guys are bored you should think of making something to keep out bottlers, spammers and shit like that.
this bullshit is complete useless and annoying.
making people get klined because they try to part/quit the channel.

I didn't join this channel, but found it open in xchat when I came home from work yesterday.
It annoys me and I don't have free time to watch for bot announces.

Well we don't force you to join. Maybe it was an auto join... Either way thanks for the feedback.

People who join/part the channel fast enough are being killed off the network. But this is only a global kill and they are able to reconnect just fine, so there are no k:lines or bans involved with the join/parting.

As for the spammers and bottlers we already have wonderful systems such as the passive IP scan by py-bopm (se below) on connection, we have our own flood detector and not to forget the active IRC Operators with loads of experience to deal with these things.

-py-bopm- Pursuant to United States Code (USC), Title 18, Part 1, Section 2701 Part (c),

-py-bopm- Rizon will do a passive scan of your IP address to check for open proxies.

-py-bopm- If you do not consent to this scan, disconnect now. These scans are harmless andbwill originate from proxyscan.rizon.net (65.23.155.92). For more information see #help.

The beauty with this channel is that you need to work your way out. Eventually you will learn a few tricks on how to get out. Think of it as a game. Either you will get so frustrated you end up finding a way out or you actually realize you love the channel and you regret ever wanting to leave.

Autojoin? Was that a mockery?
I don't want to autojoin some inescapable channel, but today it happened second time.

How do I avoid this if I don't want and do nothing to, but still autojoin it?

I don't read it. I don't even understand who'd want to sit on such a channel and waste his time. Maybe there are some NEETs that have nothing else to do - I am not one of them.

Please, turn off that autojoin.

Thank you.

PM me when you're on IRC then and I will ban you if I'm present.
