Banned from IRC?

markpjd · 19 May 2016, 00:49

Hi,

Seems I'm banned from IRC chat, but I've never used it?

I've been on it quite often, but it also says that I am banned BUT only if I use the mibbit link from the top of the EAB page. My IRC client happily let me connect and join.

Which IRC client do you use?

It seems that mibbit users using a certain range of virgin media hostmasks were banned. I've removed this ban now which I hope will sort markpjd and Devlin out but if it still says you're banned then let me know and I'll see what I can do.

I use a portable client called Nettalk on windows, and WookieeChat on amiga.

Seems to be working now, Thank you.

Excellent news, thank you for letting me know. Someone who shall remain nameless set way to much of a blanket ban, I think it was actually banning every virgin media customer who was using mibbit.
