IRC Server flooded with spam and no ircop/op there to sort it
I have tried emailing the contact of the server, as well as messaging via the forums here, about the tons of spam occurring there recently, some idiot posting about another irc network
As of yet, my email has gone unanswered, and the spam keeps coming The main channel is unregistered now meaning nobody will ever get ops on joining, therefore nobody will ever be able to stop this spammer Please can the owner join and register the channel and give ops to some of the users, so at least we can deal with the spam while you are not around or active If you need a more permanent solution, I would like to put myself forward, and if you need references, please feel free to join unrealircd support channel where I am a channel operator, and I also run my own irc server, so I have experience of being an ircop and can easily deal with these spammers Many Thanks |

I've joined the IRC server and tried to give you OP rights. Please let me know if it worked.
Edit: Never mind, I'm not a channel operator anymore it seems. Edit 2: It's not only me. The authorities have been informed ![]() Last edited by TCD; 22 April 2023 at 14:57. |

Thanks, at least I can sort them out if I see them now
Although note that my ops is only temporary and will only last until I lose connection such as by ping timeout which I hope will not happen, but as reliable as the internet is .. Since the channel is still unregistered, it will not give anyone ops on rejoining, until it is re-registered and someone is added to the access/flags list - I do have a registered nickname there as well if you wanted to op me permanently Thanks again |

RCK could do with your help again, they are coming back spamming like crazy, and channel bans can only do so much, if you allow me ircop rights, I can gline them - as they are registering nickserv accounts and PM'ing everyone as well - me included, so I think more drastic action is needed, Thanks

Code:
16:04 <+modrobert> perhaps intended, but seems like counterproductive to spam rude statements to make people join another IRC server 16:05 <+modrobert> after this, who would join supernet? 16:05 -!- mode/#abime.net [+b *!*@*.revip4.asianet.co.th] by Amiga600 16:05 -!- modrobert was kicked from #abime.net by Amiga600 [SPAM IS UNWANTED HERE, NOW GTFO !!] Looks like your ban script got me on 'supernet', on the bright side, at least I get less msg spam now. ![]() |
