There are two solutions that come to mind:

1) Turn off whatever script that causes you to /whois people too much.... and then email the network staff asking to be unbanned.

2) Chat on some other network - one where the admins don't take offence if you /whois them.

3 Chat on a Network that knows how stupid the "nick just /whois'ed you" feature is.

Pointless, annoying and appearently some clueless admins use it as an excuse to flex their IRC muscles.

Yeah, this is pretty funny. What if I was looking for help and did a whois on the oper to get his/her attention? I'd get Zlined too? I think if I were you, I'd find a better network.

If you WHOIS an oper to get their attention you'll be waiting an awful long time on most networks. :P

What's wrong with joining #help these days?

(P.S. Yeah, I'd find another network too.)

What does using Unreal have to do with "lazy opers"?

w00t · Posted: Oct 11, 2004 5:12am Post subject:

The fact that ~60% of people using Unreal don't have a !@#$@#! clue what they are doing, and don't read up on a problem or whatever springs to mind...

For sure. But from participating in Anope/Unreal/Other support channels, I can say that Unreal seems to get more than it's fair share of them. And this AFTER they have a test that needs to be taken to ask for support.

Since the post ventured towards this direction, I couldn't resist.

All this time I thought my girl brains didn't comprehend the unreal Docs, but now that I've learned I'm a lazy newb, there is hope for me yet! Being a 4 yr. old newb is getting quite tiresome. Somewhere under all this mush, may be a geek in hiding Smile
