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

[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.
