tl;dr I got myself banned from #emacs accidentally because of a bug in my code. One time I was writing a little emacs lisp module to automatically reconnect me to #emacs on freenode, but it was buggy, but it was still in my .emacs at the time, so when i restarted emacs, it started running, and I didnt notice it. fast forward a little bit, i notice the irc buffers open in my list of buffers, and lo and behold, my code was constantly disconnecting/reconnecting in #emacs and it was spamming the channel with those messages. They banned me (briefly) so it would stop. It was just funny to see like a flood of connects/disconnects in the chat log, and people being like "whats going on" and "must be a bug in something".
