#wikipedia-mediation
Why do we still have #wikipedia-mediation? I thought wp:medcom got closed down.108.172.21.134 (talk) 04:47, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
Error: you are banned
I do not remember if I was ever banned from using IRC, but anytime I join a Misplaced Pages channel with the username "AwesomeAasim", it gives the error "You are banned". Does a channel mod want to investigate? Aasim (talk) 08:54, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
- Awesome Aasim, currently the IRC channels are restricted to users who are registered on Freenode due to a spambot attack. It is likely to remain so for at least the next 6-8 hours. Waggie (talk) 08:56, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
- okay I registered a nickname with IRC. The end. Aasim (talk) 19:33, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Bug won't allow me in
I'm trying to get into Freenode, but it won't let me in. Basically, I type my username and my password in, then I do the captcha. I successfully pass, but it says "invalid captcha." Then I do it again, and it says "invalid login." I double check my username and password, and it's correct, but it still won't let me in. Does anyone know what's going on?

Freenode
For those that don't know, there has been a hostile takeover of Freenode and most of the staff have resigned. I've opened a discussion for the global community here. YODADICAE👽 12:55, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for opening the discussion on Meta. For the uninitiated, there is interesting background information about what's going on at Freenode at Freenode#Ownership change and conflict and Andrew Lee (entrepreneur). - tucoxn\ 15:52, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
Bad experience in the help channel
Hey there. A couple months ago when I was trying to get IRC working, I visited the help channel #wikipedia-en-help as directed in the {{notice}} at the top of the WP:IRC page. I was told to get my questions about nicknames and cloaking answered in the Freenode support channel, and that I was not allowed to stay in the #wikipedia-en-help channel. I felt rushed out of the channel without my questions getting answered. I found the experience to be WP:BITE. So I guess my questions are, 1) is it really necessary to rush people out of the help channel / disallow folks from idling in there? and 2) why can't we provide some basic IRC tech support in the help channel? Thanks. –Novem Linguae (talk) 19:09, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
