My work environment is what I'd call typical US corporate - IRC nodes are blocked, but I can use a web-based client to access it.
A couple of days ago, someone had the poor taste to throw a pack of rabid spam bots into the #haskell channel, forcing the short-term solution of shutting down all web-based users. I noticed today that I can now access #haskell again, but have no voice.
I'm wondering: is there any way to modify access to allow registered users to speak? I've tried using other web-based clients, but none of then connect to the freenode server.
At home, I can (and do) use mIRC, so I'm not totally cut off - and now I can read, but not communicate back to, the #haskell channel.
BTW, please direct me to another list, if this issue does not belong on it.
Edward Kmett had the same problem; I think in the end he sold it by buying a hostmask and magically he could speak! -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
