I have read the FAQ and cannot find an answer there so this is the response I get when trying to access the IRC.

What do I need to do to gain access to the IRC?

Got to enterthegame.com and talk to an administrator about it (look under IRC on the left) -- you were probably banned for one reason or another.

This happened to me maybe twice, or thrice. Check your username, make sure it contains only alphanumeric characters (0 - 9, A - Z) and no special characters. Also, sometimes it depends on your server port; if the server you are using to connect to the IRC channel is congested, might as well take a nap, have some coffee and try again later.

Yeah, glines are usually reserved for spam bots. My guess is is that your IP is close to the IP of a spam bot, so they auto kill that IP range, usually.

It says right there why you've been glined, RIGHT THERE:

and right here:

I don't mean to be mean or anything, but come on.

If you had read the text you just posted, you should be able to figure out that "hey, I should probably email ETG about this issue"

and possibly double check your computer for possible malware and double check your irc client, because maybe you have been spamming.
