Well, that's new.  There is, indeed, a ban listed on the network that 
never bans people; the network whose philosophy is to let the users 
moderate themselves and calls for admins whose only duty is to carry out 
network technical maintenance.  This raises the next, very important 
question:  Why was this user banned?

I checked the logs, and found this:

[anthrochat]  *** Global -- from OperServ: Inaki added an AKILL for 
*mozdoc@*.direcpc.com ([Inaki] spammer) (expires in 30 days)
[anthrochat]  *** Global -- from OperServ: Inaki added an AKILL for 
*mozdoc@*.direcpc.com ([Inaki] spammer) (does not expire)
[anthrochat]  Local OperKill: Inaki killed 
Mozdoc!~mozdoc at FUR-B15D9897.direcpc.com (spammer)
[anthrochat]  *** G:Line added for *mozdoc@*.direcpc.com on Tue May 23 
18:33:29 2006 GMT (from Inaki to expire at Thu May 25 19:10:41 2006 GMT: 
[Inaki] spammer)

     Okay, so presumably, this was a spammer.  Typical spammer behavior 
is to get a list of all of the public channels, join the most populated 
ones, and advertise something.  I hang out in most of the 
largely-populated channels, and I didn't see anything from this user in 
any of them.

     Using super sleuth technology, I found that this user has a 
registered account on the network, registered on February 10th, 2006.  
If someone was going to register an account to become a spammer, they'd 
typically start spamming right after they got the account registered or 
wouldn't even bother registering one at all.  That leads me to believe 
that there is ADMINISTRATOR FOUL PLAY AFOOT.

     Okay, dramatic prose aside:  Logs of spam plz.
