dappygit Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Hello, I've been trying to log on to #cncnet all day but it's saying i've been banned... here's a short pastey [16:33] == End of /MOTD command. [16:33] == Usermode change: +i [16:33] -NickServ- This nickname is registered. Please choose a different nickname, or identify via /msg NickServ identify <password>. [16:33] -syn- Your reported hostname [1] is banned: Due to abuse we currently accept tor connections via our tor-sasl service only. See freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml - questions can be directed to [email protected] [16:33] == (Banned) [16:33] == ERROR: Closing Link: gateway/web/freenode/session (Disconnected by services) [16:33] == Disconnected from server: Connection to IRC server lost. As you can see the ban is to the hostname but I've not abused freenode.net in any way. I'm with British Telecom ISP. Many thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pichorra Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 There says your nickname has been registered, just try to select another one (like CnCDappygit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 um, my nickname is also registered... it just means you have to log in with /ns identify, as it says. That doesn't seem to be related to the real issue here Pich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tore Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 That's strange. Have you tried to contact freenode about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dappygit Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 That's strange. Have you tried to contact freenode about this? well good news it's been fixed and i've been granted access. they must've banned all btcentralplus users Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I use Opera at home, and the web interface at work (because the irc ports are blocked there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iran Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 The part that you need to look at is: [16:33] -syn- Your reported hostname [1] is banned: Due to abuse we currently accept tor connections via our tor-sasl service only. See freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml - questions can be directed to [email protected] A hostmask on Freenode's network (other, standard IRC servers use a different format) looks like: host86-163-76-140.range86-163.btcentralplus.com/86 It's an identifier used by the IRC protocol, according to wikipedia: A hostmask is a unique identifier of an IRC client connected to an IRC server.[42][43] IRC services and bots can use it to identify the client. The hostmask looks similar to, but should not be confused with, an e-mail address. It is a combination of the nickname, ident, and hostname.[44] If ident is not available, then the username is used after being prefixed with a tilde sign.[45] If the IP address cannot be resolved to a valid hostname, then the IP address is used instead. So they probably banned all the btcentralplus.com hostmasks or a subnet of them accidently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pichorra Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 AJAX chat should reborn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 AJAX chat should reborn? That's quite a genius idea. Although, it's already been discussed unless we can convince hifi to switch over to AJAX chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tore Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 AJAX Chat needed a lot of maintenance to work properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irony Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Also the AJAX chat can only be used on this site, IRC can be used on the site (or the webchat at freenode) in a separate IRC client on a PC or even from a smartphone. It's a much more convenient way to offer a public chat room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iran Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 there are a bunch of ajax irc clients, never tested them though but most big networks use qwebirc (formerly known as qchat), e.g. http://rizon.net/index.php?do=chat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Yea, I'm at my mom's house currently. And apparently I'm banned from Freenode at the moment... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
