Before anybody starts freaking out ...
We've been getting a lot of connect/reconnect spam over at #vc on slashnet.org . After trying to warn people I've taken to just banning their nick temporarily. Hopefully the affected people will debug, see that they have been banned, connect with a new nick and see the topic (or this message) and then fix their connect/reconnect problem.
Again, these bans are temporary just to get your attention to fix the problem. Sign in temporarily with a different nick if you need debug help.
