I just received the below PM from icarussmith. I don't recall as to why he was banned, does anyone have any more information?
I know normally we are not supposed to ask to be unbanned, but after talking to several members of the site, I have realized the reason I am banned from #site19 is not because my nickname is banned, but because my IP is. In the interest of full disclosure, here is a timeline of events:
1. Several months ago (approx. May 1st) I got banned by a mod/admin on the IRC. I do not know if who banned me was noted, I never wrote it down.
2. Over the next day I tried a few times to get back on with different nicknames to no avail. At this point, I gave up.
3. I used my iPhone to get on the IRC site a two weeks ago successfully during the airing of Warehouse 13, I did not realize that my IP was banned and in effect using my iPhone was a subversion of the ban. This was not an intentional attempt to subvert the ban.
4. I will not attempt to use #site19 or the IRC chat in general until the ban is lifted — it is not my intention to subvert either the motive or the method of the ban.
As far as my understanding of the situation on the chat at the time was, Kondraki and Bright had just entered the site and I said a few comments about SCPs. At this point I was kicked from #site19. I do not know if these events are related. I did not log these comments, but they were innocuous in my opinon and related to using space cannons.
If in your opinion the ban is deserved I will make no further protest and will accept the fact that my presence on the IRC channel is unwanted.
The nicknames I used during the original chat were:
icarus
icarussmith
The nicknames I used during the iPhone chat were:
notme
icarussnith
Thank you for taking the time to read this message and I await any reply you may have.
