Is an IRC ban permanent?

[Narkro555]

Well?

[Solid]

Depends.

I slapped someone twice in a row and I haven't been able to use IRC for around 5 days.

Ephi usually clears the ban list every couple weeks or so, just be patient.

This. It's because the IRC RTB uses can only handle a certain number of bans at one time, so Ephi needs to clear some every so often. Since you technically didn't do anything seriously wrong, I predict that you will be unbanned in a couple of weeks.

[Narkro555]

a couple of weeks.

forget.

[Radial543]

forget.

Well, you could PM Ephi about your case, I guess.

This belongs on RTB forums.

Uhm, no. I hate that place.

I wish it were permanent.
Too bad there's a limit on bans.

[Narkro555]

I wish it were permanent.

Why?

[Chrono]

Because the same people cause the same problem every two weeks.
That's right. BlockBot makes about 100 bans in about two weeks.

Anyway, I don't know how it happened, but I was banned for slapping someone twice in a row. And I haven't been able to use IRC for about 5 days now

Which means you were banned for spamming.

Spamming is saying the same thing twice.

I don't think doing what I did deserves a week-long ban. And don't I get warnings or something?
