    I just would like to know why i was banned from a channel.I used thad methed was was put up in the pinned section at the the and just copied and pasted the command.Then i got this meesage on the screen,

    DyN-CelticFan> (AUTOMATED MSG)Congratulations Is In Order! You have just been banned from my xdcc server. Reason: Timer/MSG Spam

    What i would like to know is what did i do wrong.I also seen after me that a lot of other people were being banned so it was`nt just me.

    Should i ask for the rules before i ask for a file to download.????

    Thanks in advance.

    did you use the noob help or the advanced guide?

    If you used the advanced it is because you used a timer. Somechannels dont allow them

    And how do i stop it happening again.

    I did`nt use the advanced guide because i`m a noob at this thing.

    hmm...did u use any irc scripts that contains timers? did u download any scripts?
    or perhaps...did u enter /msg many times within a few seconds?

    a timer is a command that repeats a special comand every set time, for example the /msg command every 5 mins

    Some channels ban you because of spamming if you use this.

    I think its only a temp ban check back tomorrow if you can get in again.
