Hi,
Can someone explain me why I got this when trying to join Wikimedia IRC channels ?
Thanks, Yann

I can't see anything on the ban list, which could be a ban for your hostmask. Could you try joining #wikipedia? There are no bans there.
Also, what's your hostname? PM me when you'll connect to the server (my nick's Datrio).
Hi,
Thanks Datrio for your answer.

I was told that I was banned because I use Tor. However I DO NOT use Tor to connect to IRC and Wikimedia channels and I have a registred nick. Therefore I really don't understand why I am banned.
Thanks, Yann

Perhaps your machine was mis-identified as a Tor exit node. In any case it's very difficult to find out what happened when you're posting to a mailing list instead of talking to someone on IRC. If it happens again, please private-message someone.
