As the "closing link" message shows, you get k-lined everytime you connect to the network. "Spammer (v5a)" might indicate the reson for the k-line, although the ban may as well be a misfire, "false positive" or the like.
In any case, we can do nothing about this ban. You have to contact the operators of the network to get an explanation and/or have the k-line removed (some forum / contact form you'll find on the network's homepage).

As there's no dedicated board in their forums, I guess at http://www.othernet.org/?page=contactus
Alternatively, connect to the network using a different dial-in - e.g. from an internet café and using the webchat of their homepage ("chat now" button) - and join the network's help channel.
In any case you should be able to provide the complete "closing link" line so they're able investigate the issue. Good luck!
