We have no control over networks setting bans (often referred to as Klines, Glines or AKills). A Kline is a ban from a server, a Gline is a ban from the entire network in GamesNET's case. They may ban you for whatever reason they like under any circumstances. Unfortunately for you, we don't all use GamesNET either so we do not all know what circumstances that ban may arise. Fortunately for you however, I have done a little research on GamesNET's website and found a few things which might help you smile

It should tell you in the ban message whether or not you're Glined or Klined.To check if you're Glined on GamesNET click here. If you're Klined read this. If you think you are Glined but the page before did not detect it, then post here.

All this said, I'm sure GamesNET recognise that it is possible people paste too many lines, so I doubt that ban from GamesNET is likely to last more than 1/2 hours.

Hope you get back soon smile

Just a guess, but maybe you were never unbanned. If you have a dynamic IP address (likely), your IP will change each time you connect to the internet. The time you got back on your IP may have fallen outside the scope of the ban. Rebooting your computer, of course, causes you to reconnect to the internet and get a new IP. This time it will fall within the scope of the ban and you're not allowed on.

It surprises me that a network should ban for a simple excess flood case, most (or at least all I've been on) just disconnect you and you can reconnect immediately. Maybe another chat with the net admins.

Something else that maybe be affecting you is "Send Queue Exceeded" error. Some scripts, on joining a channel, send a command requesting host details about every nick in the channel. In large channels on some servers the amount of data this command generates causes the send queue error and you will be disconnected. If this is the case trying connecting with a plain mIRC.

A further possibility is that you are infected with a spam trojan that attempts to send spam messages to everyone in the channel when you join, this would cause repeated excess flood errors. I refer you to google and Mentality's posts to find out how to get rid of these. smile
