      God damn you guys keep changing your hostmask/IP address so it's 
no wonder it keeps happening.  Within the last two weeks, I've added *5* 
session exceptions for you guys.  Are you all living in some kind of 
hippie commune or furry brothel over there or what?  Nobody crams 10 
people into one house except Mexicans and Puerto Ricans.

So far, it's been:

c-67-164-80-180.hsd1.ca.comcast.net
67.164.80.180
minkata.ksilebo.org
75.144.23.157
ksilebo.org

      It appears that the current hostmask (ksilebo.org) was added by 
Pippin, but it was set to not expire.  When it expired, you all were 
glined.  Then it was added by Inaki, but it was also set to expire, so 
it did, and you were glined.  I just re-added it with no expiry.  If it 
changes again, you will be glined again when you exceed 4 connections 
from the same IP.  I'm not increasing the global limit as it rarely ever 
gets reached except by clone bots.  When it does get reached by 
legitimate, separate people, I add an exception for it that doesn't 
expire.  If all of the server admins submit a vote to have the global 
limit increased, I'll do it.  I vote nay because the exceptions should 
be a good enough compromise.

      For documentation sake (since /quote operserv help exception 
doesn't seem to be enough), to set one with no expiry, do this:

/quote operserv exception add +0 ksilebo.org 15 NAT household

      That adds an exception for 15 instead of 4 that doesn't expire (+0).
