| YeOldHinnerk | Hi. Apparently I was recently banned on #ubuntu and #ubuntu-server. I have no idea why. How to find out? | 12:14 |
|---|---|---|
| tomreyn | when exactly, using which nickname, and what made you think you were banned? | 12:15 |
| YeOldHinnerk | I have no idea why I was banned. Nick was "Hinnerk". | 12:16 |
| YeOldHinnerk | Oh, sorry, trying to join recently I got the message "You were banned." | 12:16 |
| tomreyn | i'm not asking why you were banned, i'm asking what makes you think that you were banned | 12:16 |
| tomreyn | ok | 12:16 |
| YeOldHinnerk | I'm not aware of any rudness or gross violation of policy/etiquette. So if I made a mistake, I would like to know what, so I can avoid it in the future. | 12:18 |
| tomreyn | i can't seem to find a ban against you | 12:18 |
| YeOldHinnerk | Odd. | 12:18 |
| tomreyn | maybe it was against a different ip address? | 12:18 |
| YeOldHinnerk | Ban was removed by now. I can now join again. | 12:18 |
| YeOldHinnerk | Puh. Probably, who knows what IP my Internet provider had given me at the time. | 12:19 |
| YeOldHinnerk | But the ban survived for a couple of days | 12:19 |
| YeOldHinnerk | I've been missing the ubuntu fiolks a lot :) | 12:20 |
| tomreyn | if it happens again, make a note of the output of /who <yournickname> at the time you're unable to join a channel | 12:20 |
| YeOldHinnerk | Well, no biggy, maybe it was a mistake. | 12:20 |
| YeOldHinnerk | Ok, next time, which hopefully won't come. | 12:20 |
| tomreyn | YeOldHinnerk: i would be surprised, if someone was banned by mistake. it's not impossible, but we do check each others' actions. | 12:24 |
| tomreyn | an example situation that would also lead to a ban is when your irc client continuously misbehaves or your internet connection is unstable and you get ban forwarded to ##fix_your_connection | 12:26 |
| tomreyn | YeOldHinnerk: that's just an example, though. i do not know what may have happened there. | 12:27 |
| tomreyn | If this issue is solved for now, please kindly leave the channel (as seen on /topic). | 12:28 |
| YeOldHinnerk | Maybe it was that. Since I rebooted my router several times, that may have looked like an unstable connection? | 12:28 |
| tomreyn | If you did that many, many times without leaving the channel, or joining, then disconnecting each time, this could have been a result. | 12:29 |
| YeOldHinnerk | Well, "many, many" > what I did, I think. | 12:30 |
| YeOldHinnerk | Ok, no matter. I'll leave here. Thx for checking. | 12:30 |
| leftyfb | tomreyn: what's up with hackerman other than the constant nick changing? ( more for my curiosity ) | 16:20 |
| tomreyn | leftyfb: reconnects, nothing else, i set up a ban forward (see /mode #ubuntu +b) | 16:21 |
| tomreyn | looks like consistently bad connectivity / short interval reconnects to me. but can also be a misconfigured client. | 16:22 |
| leftyfb | ok. They did ask for legitimate help back in May with no activity since other than the disconnects and nick changes | 16:23 |
| tomreyn | i have no doubt on their legitimacy, it's just that the many reconnects throughout the day can be tiresome. | 16:24 |
| leftyfb | thanks for the explanation | 16:25 |
