I enter the #freenode channel cant even speak in there. Then I couldn't even find an irc op. Then I couldn't even get help to hide my ip address.
Then I whois someone and paste 4 lines claiming to people that he wasnt an irc op. tHen I get banned from the channel. Now thats lame.
<regeya> SSVegetto: you could look for lilo, go into a channel where lilo's at, and start spouting off profanities.
<Tweedle-dee> hehe
<SSVegetto> ok
<Tweedle-dee> ROFMAO
<regeya> and when he asks you to stop, just say 'fuck you man'
<Tweedle-dee> my gods
<Tweedle-dee> what has this channel come to
<Knight7> no, lilo is actually a pretty nice guy
<regeya> sorry
<regeya> lapse of reason
<Tweedle-dee> anyways
<SSVegetto> lilo is lilo@levin-pdpc.staff.freenode * Rob Levin
<SSVegetto> lilo on #linuxhelp
<SSVegetto> lilo using irc.freenode.net http://freenode.net/
<SSVegetto> lilo is an identified user
<SSVegetto> lilo has been idle 1min 6secs, signed on Thu Apr 07 18:17:47
<SSVegetto> lilo End of /WHOIS list.
<SSVegetto> -
<Tweedle-dee> errr
<Tweedle-dee> that's IT!!
<SSVegetto> he doesnt appear to be an irc op
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Tweedle-dee
<SSVegetto> what ?
<SSVegetto> sorry
<regeya> Knight7: agreed, but even lilo has limits :-)
OMG BIG Wow I pasted 4 lines cry me a river, he gets mad. Then I'm banned
If there is uptight people like that on freenode, forget it , I'm not going back there. Worthless server in my opinion, no irc ops around no irc ops in #help channel. Probably too lazy to help anyone, server is cheap as heck.
1) You pasted 7 lines for no real reason, not 4
2) What part of lilo@levin-pdpc.staff.freenode indicates that he is not infact staff? That is generally how staff hostmasks look...
3) If you read the site you would have read: the simplest way to get help is to email staff at freenode dot net. Or you can visit channel #freenode and issue the command "/who *.staff.freenode" to find a list of staffers. Then /msg a staff member for assistance.
4) If you have read the topic of #freenode you would have read: Need help? /msg staffer (/who *.staff.freenode)
Looking at the log you posted they were making fun of you because you were asking questions which were already answered for you. Such as "Is anyone an ircop here to help me".
I also doubt they banned you for "no reason". Especially as you decided not to include that part of the log. I'm projecting that you got mad at them and starting arguing with them.

That took me less than a minute to find.
Also, copying and pasting >= 5 lines of "easy info" (I can understand copying and pasting a 10-line joke from a registration-required site/forum) isn't a smart idea most of the time. People can look it up themselves if they want to.

That's odd, because I could have swore that I enjoyed the switch to freenode, have no troubles with freenode, and apparently everyone here can figure out how to get assistance if they needed to on freenode.
Horray for irc.freenode.net

Tweedle-dee is pretty cool because if you have that name, you're probably a fan of Bob Dylan. So no complaining! :)
(You should read the network's guidelines, as it was you who made a pretty obvious mistake. Sorry if it seems uptight to you.)

my only complaint to freenode is that people get d/c too often
mIRC is known for not noticing timeouts correctly. If you use that, good chance you get disconnected too often.

Well, it explicitly says "If you want to get a cloak, regardless of what kind you want, just register your nick and then ask a network staffer to give you a cloak."
Doesn't look so confusing to me.
SSVegetto, this is not the first time your overall attitude appears aggressive to me. I strongly recommend you do something for it or I'll eventually ban you on this site.
(No, this has nothing to with freenode. This is about communication and behavior.)

What ?? sorry I used a swear word, but I wasn't bashing this website I was bashing freenode. Why do you care if I bash other servers ? I wasn't agressive to you I was agressive to irc.freenode.net. Sorry you felt that way.
So is it the swear word your mad about or me bashing irc.freenode ?
I wasn't agressive to you at all. Actually I wasn't bashing anyone except the jibberish they put on there site.
You know what fine I dont care anymore, I just wont talk here anymore. I dont like it when people tell me what to do. IF I DONT LIKE SOMETHING I DONT HAVE TO LIKE IT.
I LOVE FREENODE ITS SO SWEeet its great, I love the great features you get a password and a nickname so coooool . And you can even join channels. Yippe skippy.
There that make you happy ? better attitude for you ?.
