Yeah, it's that part which pisses me off.

Happened before. It's not much a problem, I can connect via proxy anytime but *having to* use proxy for ORG's chatroom doesn't sound good.

Well atleast theres a work around,

no problems about the heads up,
Im not religious but i beleve that the following is a good saying:
"do on to others as you wish others to do on to you"

The problem is, the banned area is the whole of the country. Internet connection is state monopoly here, so whoever connects gets a 81.xxx, whether he's an academician, a gamer, an ordinary folksman, a hacker or a spammer. Alas, the total number of internet users in TR is probably smaller than hackers/lamers/spammers from US.

The problem should be solved Mouzafphaerre.

Mouza, you got the notorious error ? What a coincidence that I cried out this ******* error for days. It comes and goes..

The last time I tried to connect -where it disconnected after succesful semi-connections - I was Glined for a day. Let's see if it works now..

Edit : No way.. Still the same error..

Glined seems to stand for Global ban. I understood that IRC networks are pestered by spambots, spam can be quickly repeating text, but also just a few wrong words (not sure whether that includes F10 jokes).

The network administrator told me they had some problems with spambots from, especially, Turkey. Things being as said, it's a smart thing for a malicious person to hide in a crowd of innocent millions: it will/might make the 'server' think twice before hitting you, as that will also hurt all others.

The 'server' will finally be forced to chose between two evils though. Chosing to IP ban won't stop it of course: the malicious man will just use a different IP and continue the war, while he just won a battle: innocents can't use the network anymore.

The host did IP ban a whole 81.number.x.x range.

You still got trouble LeftEyeNine? It's possible the host only relaxed the IP ban instead of lifting it.

I managed to log in and chat with Uesugi Kenshin for a while this morning. I quit with my own will. There seemed to be no problem.

On the areal ban issue, you are completely right. Any "good" hacker wouldn't attack without hiding behind anonymous proxies anyway; spambots may act differently though.After all, the intruder could have used an 81.xxx IP as a mask (proxy).
