Weird IRC issues

I logged in IRC today to be redirected to "##smbx-entrance-blocked". On the topic, it said this:

"[You were redirected here because you were banned from #smbx, or because #smbx has a user limit/invite only/register only/password set on it. Messages are sent directly to ops. Please do not idle in this channel.]"

I suspected that #smbx is full at the moment, but I'm still curious. If I was banned, I have no clue why, although I suspect that a mod who isn't too fond of me had to do with the situation...

I'm registered though and I still can't get in. Is webchat banned?

Last night there was spam, so I enabled registered users only to join the chat. It's off for now so everyone should be able to join.

It was off for a while, but now it's on again. Jeez.

Yes. You'll need to register with NickServ before joining. Do /ns register <password> <email> to get back in.

Yeah, the reason for that is because SMBX.org had a spam attack and they don't want it happening again.

In doubt it those still happen but nobody is bothering with it because if we react they know we are bothered and thats why they massping always but no one of us gives a shit.
