He means you could have been
banned just by nick and/or username ...

YourNick!*@*

or

*!*YourUsername@*

or a combo of both

YourNick!*YourUsername@*

So even if your host/ip has changed, if you use the same nick
and/or username, the ban mask used will still be effective .. so
try using a different nick and username

Edit: Mentality, after reading the next post .. smirk
