Just FYI, in case anyone else found themselves k-lined (network banned) from the IRC channel for "spam"
23:39 [freenode] -kline(~kline@freenode/staff/enucs.kline)- [global notice] Hi there: freenode is experiencing a large
quantity of spam. If you receive links from users you don't recognise, please do not open them. If you are
affected, please set usermode +R to block messages from unidentified users.
23:40 [freenode] -kline(~kline@freenode/staff/enucs.kline)- [global notice] Additionally, while working to minimise
this spam, staff error led to the majority of the network receiving a temporary K-Line (network ban). The ban
has since been lifted and those affected should be able to reconnect. Please accept our apologies, and
contact us if you, or someone you know, still cannot connect.
