I need help reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SpainKiller7 · 2019-11-23 23:35 I’m a very new IRC user. I’m trying to reactivate my REDacted account which was banned due to too many failed login attempts due to me forgetting my password. I was a member for a couple of years and was on what.cd before that. I never used their IRC - and have never used IRC in any form - because I never needed to. I got on the site via invite. The REDacted site says I need to go to #RED-disabled and “follow the directions in the topic” to talk to a moderator. I can get to that channel but there doesn’t appear to be anyone there and I can’t for the life of me figure out how to find the topic much less follow it’s directions. Help! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- oooogle · 2019-11-24 02:06 If you enter the command /topic the topic of the #RED-disabled channel should be displayed. If you're on their IRC network, it should have the instructions needed to reactivate your account. If there doesn't seem to be anyone else in that channel, it's possible you've joined the wrong channel. What IRC client are you connecting with? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SpainKiller7 · 2019-11-24 03:35 Thank you. I’m using mIRC. When I enter /topic nothing happens. Back out on a “homepage” thing that says Snoonet “my username” it says: TOPIC Not enough parameters SYNTAX TOPIC [] ??? Thanks for helping me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- apetresc · 2019-11-24 04:18 Okay there’s your problem-you’re on Snoonet. That’s a completely different server from the one that REDacted is on. IRC networks don’t federate with each other. A channel on one network has no relationship whatsoever with the same channel on another network. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SpainKiller7 · 2019-11-24 04:32 Ok. What server us REDacted on? How do I find that? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- apetresc · 2019-11-24 04:54 According to https://interviewfor.red/en/starting.html it’s on irc.scratch-network.net:6667. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SpainKiller7 · 2019-11-24 13:03 That did it. Thank you! Now if I can only remember my screen name from REDacted 🤔
