chat rules ? i was banned because of spam but wasn't spamming ?!?!

Hi out there, Mods

Don't know if this is the right place to post, but....

I was in the chat talking about some tracks I have and building up a webpage for D/D (in the same style as my previous one (www.foco.lcc.ufmg.br/nuba/tranceaddict) and somehow I saw

quote:

* Tanceaddict is frowning @ nuba Tranceaddict says spamming in no-good stuff (to me)...

and a huge list of #channels appeared where there was once a chat screen...

What's up ? I wasn't spamming at all !
! ! ! ! ! !

Please take some action - I can't connect anymore !

i saw u gettin banned aswell... it was mad u didnt do a thing...

i asked one of the ops to unban u, he sed no bans are set, meaning u should be able to go in now

this seems to be a usual occurance on the chat thing...hmm...makes you wonder.

ok - i'm unbanned, right now

Ok, I'm unbanned right now

Very very weird

I wasn't able to acess anything
from www.tranceaddict.com yesterday

Still to understand what happened .....

Due to prior spamming in the chat room I have a script in there set up to check for certain text patterns - if you type or post a really long comment there may be the chance that you trigger it...

I'll probably remove it since the spam is a lot less now but this was a very necessary action to take months ago as idiots came in spamming things and putting characters to separate stuff

like.. w-w-w........com etc

or w w w .....com

you get the idea.

Thanks, Swamper, for the explanation.
That's coherent with what happened.

I type very fast, and in the chat I usually send less replies, but with long lines of text.

Also, English is not my primary language, so I work to write it as coherent and good as possible - that mean no abbreviations and missing words - it's a personal style
