IRC ban

Hey I got an IRC ban.
Is a mod or DM willing to give me a headsup about what this is about in pm?Thanks.
IRC username ma1keru333

You were banned essentially because you show up, spam the channel for about 30 minutes for dozens of lines of text with no one else responding, then leave.
It's spamming. So, you were banned for spamming.
-
Also, please contact a DM directly next time using the chat functions on the Forums.
You can access this by clicking a DMs username, then on the screen that you come to, clicking the blue circle with three vertical dots on it, and selecting "Start a new chat with (NAME OF USER)"
This way, it isn't in a publicly accessible area.
Thanks.

@SpiffyHas
Is it a permaban?
Just a ban from #coa ?echo said something about if I came on with a different nick, that would be reason for a permaban, but I didn't really know how else to find out what the details (I can't seem to find my chat logs in hekschat to review what was actually said, either, and I don't really remember very well. I would actually PREFER to figure out how to review my own logs, than have you post the conversation here, spiffyhas (but on the other hand, that would be better than nothing, at least).
Sorry to bother people.
There are a few reasons that collude to cause some problems.
When chat is busy, sometimes I can't keep up reading, let alone responding.
This is something I presently cannot fiks (unless i ignore a lot of people and focus on very few people etc. it seems slightly oksymoronic to kind of go to a public chat and then block a lot of the people, but it would save me spending a really long time reading and sorting through lots of tekst to be able to find the ones relevant to me in a conversation.generally i heard its not appropriate to PM people in irc without permission, and i have a lot of trouble keeping the names straight without knowing the characters or faces, and i have memory trouble, so lots of the times i'm not sure who i've talked to before about what, etc. like i talked to toportime not that long ago in the character creation channel (i forget what it is now) and i don't remember that much of the convo which got off topic and echo said to take it private but at least i remember his name, but i didn't see him on. this was like, around the time of like the appless week, but in the end it didn't work out to make an appless character.
For various reasons i haven't eksamined carefully yet, my nwn keeps crashing and i think the IP for coa has changed when the forums changed? at any rate i wanted to go on and try making some new characters since i still can't access my old ones but um I couldn't and I don't have the time/energy/clarity to go through troubleshooting that right now... and when I do have the energy etc i have a lot of other stuff i should probably be doing first, but probably some weekend i will remember i wanted to play and then try and fail again and then maybe I will remember to fiks it so I can play again or whatever. shoot i'm rambling again.
If i'm able to delete these messages maybe I will delete them after.
K thks for responding spiffy.

oh i forgot what i was saying and it is hard to reread what i wrote in this little window.
talking over people seems rude sometimes too.
I kind of hope sometimes talking in channel someone who is there who i don't recognize might say hi, and then say who they are, and maybe i will remember them, and then we will talk about cool coa stuff or like make a team and like rp together on the server and stuff.
it seemed like a lot of people sometimes just wanted to pvp me or use me in a plot and 0wn me or get me killed in kwests for lolz before, and i don't remember who people are sometimes, so basically I don't know who that is, and if i do random posts or sendings, if people have a vendetta against me or are bored and like to mess with people for lolz then that is the kind of fun i will look forward to. even most people who weren't trying to get me killed usually didn't want to like wait when i was slow, and then stuff would kill me when i was in dangerous areas by myself and stuff. or like trying to eksamin kwest areas, read books, etc. i know for some people they know everything in coa like the back of their hand already, and someone looking at everything and eksploiring instead of fighting, dm kwests or rp'ing (for those that do that) is tedious and i don't want to waste peoples time who don't want to do that, but sometimes its seems hard to find the people who don't mind, i found some before, but i think they all left the server, or changed their names, or i don't remember them, or they choose not to talk to me now, so. but i don't really know, because most of the people i met i don't really know that well outside the server or irc.
I'm kind of saying some of this, just in case some of it might be problems for other people, who like gave up and stopped playing or talking in irc, but probably most people who are serious gamers have nice machines and just find lots of other awesome new games to play, and their friends play the games they want to play with them, etc, so they don't necessarily feel as inclined to like, go to an old game with people they don't know to like pester them lol.
Like me -_-;anyways, i think people posted certain ekspectations for like the irc around the time some of that was happening, but i didn't get a chance to read it at the time, or review the logs yet and see what people said. probably writing the etikette rules down will help me, because basically i don't irc chat eksept for coa, but i was thinking of getting back into it for just interesting conversations on other topics on other servers or channels when i find some i like, i just don't remember most of the irc stuff i used to know anymore, and i've been slow to relearn and remember.
sorry for the rant anyways. like i said if i can i will probably delete this thread or whatever later, but this way you can like see it first or whatever. and hopefully the people who might be angry at me for like me spamming or whatever won't take it to personally if they read this.
anyways later.

Please read my previous post, about not using the public forum to communicate such things.
Also, there is normally an X key on keyboards.

This is an IRC ban, not an IG one. Nor is it a forum ban. You may continue to speak with, discuss, and play in game and on forums.
As for the IRC ban, it will be removed once we feel you won't dump loads of text and otherwise reduce the experience for other players by spamming.
