I'll forward your inquiry to the IRC ops email list and ask one of the GCs
to respond to you here.

[Wikimedia-l] Cluster ban on most Wikimedia IRC channels on Freenode

[Maarten Dammers]

Hi,

Today a ban was set on #wikimedia-bans that bans any user who is not 
authenticated to the nickserv from joining a channel ( 
[BanList:#wikimedia-bans] $~a set by AlexZ on 10/01/16 09:19 AM ). 
#wikimedia-bans is inherited by most Wikimedia channels so a lot of 
people get banned messages. I tried poking the people mentioned at 
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC/Group_Contacts , but none of them 
seem to be online. Can anyone help out here and fix this? Any idea why 
we would have a ban like that in the first place? That's like blocking 
logged out users from editing our projects.


Maarten

Ps. The work around is /mode # -b $j:#wikimedia-bans
