How about a usermode to hide channels in your /whois, i know you could +sp channels, but you can't +sp channel your not op in right?, i get lot of stalkers join all the channels thats not +sp that i am in, plus other users would like that too. Interesting idea.. I think it would be welcomed by many...

Rights as chatters? That's rich.

*sniff* *sniff* .. I smell a troll.

Ahh, Alright..
Well Mr. 3846.. if that really is your REAL userID... Next time try more servers at http://www.efnet.org/?module=servers

I'm guessing your nickname isn't .*3846.* on EFnet.. Perhaps if you divulged your nickname pubic ally, it could be discussed who and why you were banned on several servers. But to answer your question about being banned for annoying ops in #efnet sure.. Alot of server admins hang out in #efnet If yo...

The fact that oper abuse remains is somewhat of a good thing.. It at least shows that opers are still interested in the network.. I, most likely unlike yourself, use the term 'abuse' pretty loosely. I think .. to a point ... oper's have earned the right to a certain level of abuse. If oper's couldn'...

The easiest way, if you are used to using a windows IRC client is to get a BNC from a UNIX shell provider. If you are up for the challenge, there's also IPv6 tunneling available. Hexago.com will give you all the ip addresses you could ever need and the ability to specify a nameserver responsible for...

irssi is a very powerful IRC client. If you read through the documentation and pick up some handy scripts, you'll learn to love it quickly.. That is if you like console/text based irc clients. I ran BitchX for about 8 years and loved it. I got really used to it. Then I finally put away my fears of i...

Hopefully I don't step on any toes here, but I would like to comment that I personally prefer the old efnet.org website. The new layout and color scheme is harder to read. I would like to suggest though, since you are most likely going to stay with the new layout that you add timestamps to the news ...

Your IP is not listed / Ihre IP ist nicht gelistet

Looks like the problem worked itself out.

Can you connect to any network besides EFnet ?

What IRC Client are you using?
I believe your IRC client is for some reason reporting that the nickname is invalid.

I just tried with irssi -c server -n phisher\

and that expected the next line of input, but then I escaped the \ with \ and it worked.

irssi -c server -n phisher\\

Hi, I'm phisher1 on EFnet I've been on EFnet steadily since 95 and helping in #help since 2000. As a fellow op in #help, I'd like to agree with everything that deww said. #Help offers help on topics that are known about by our regular helpers, channel ops, server ops, and just everday "just stopped ...

Welcome to my world! I get ddosed everyday..and its usually because of shawn.. or cid or baadshah or the asshole of the week.. I've been extorted for money several times so that the attacks would stop.. Haha... I mean, we've got teenage cyber terrorists at every corner! The most recent extortion I g...

I also agree. At 1st I told people to STOP banning them because they were for a good cause... This was before 4-5 anti-spam bots joined all my -s-p channels a dozen times a day. This is so god aweful annoying. My policy towards them now is ban on site. You've created trolls with spoofs. Please eithe...
