    [Fri May 22 08:30:29 2020] Channels: 1=General(551)

    This has been a problem off and on for a long time but now its worse.

    There is a limit of number of people per channel. There have been reports that players have been password protecting the additional general channels that spin up (general2, ...). It is supposed to send you to the next available general channel if it becomes full. If it's been password protected then maybe it does that. If you get a password error trying /join general2 then that's it.

    general, general1, general2, general3, etc... it should be auto-joining you to the next in line. It's not even trying, so therefore not getting to the password portion of possibility.

    So wouldnt password protecting a general channel be a bannable exploit?

    edit: funny thing is it used to cap the channel at 400 but its not doing that now. Maybe a symptom of the problem?

    general2 on BB has a password.

    Ya I never understood why they never made it where certain named channels could have passwords set on them.

    It is, send in a petition and they will probably get a 7d suspension.
