What exactly does being R-Lined mean?
reddit / irc

I understand the differences between k-, z- and g-lines and know how
to work around those, but when I try to join my favorite network I'm
greeted with the following:

>* *** You're banned! For instructions on how to appeal this ban
please visit [redacted]
>* Closing link: ([redacted]) [R-Lined: Ban evasion]

With a VPN I'm still able to easily evade this ban. I'm just curious
what the exactly being R-Lined even means. Googling "r-line" + "irc"
doesn't return any useful results.

I've never heard of an r-line surprisingly, could you provide the IRC
address so I can see what they are using? That would make it easier to
find an answer :)

"R lines provide a convenient way to handle user access to the server
with an external program. The outside program given three parameters:
the client's username (set by the USER command), the client's
hostname, and the client's ident reply ("unknown'" if none)."

Per the InspIRCd module docs, an RLine is a regex-based global ban, so
similar to a G:Line or a GZ:Line, except based on an interpreted
regular expression.

It seems handy, I could have found great use for it a few years ago on
busier networks.

That is for ircd-irc2, the server OP is using is running InspIRCd.

Asking for help evading bans on Snoonet on a forum which is moderated
by Snoonet admins doesn't seem like a very smart thing to do.
