Hello.

You have recently been blocked for three days for evading a ban on IRC. To my understanding, you attempted to join a second time after you was kicked, and this promptly led to a block on SporeWiki.

Three days is very short, we generally administer such a block to get a message across (as opposed to a longer ban). I don't know if you knew that you were still banned, but after being kicked once today, it should have been obvious.

However, I don't know if they are obvious to you are not. You seem to be enthusiastic about joining the community, and I'm sure you intend to contribute, so I want to explain community rules to help you be more accepted. Please follow them, there are only a few and they apply to all the users here, including me, so don't feel like I'm picking on you.

For starters, lets look at your block log. See SporeWiki:Rules for more information on rules of the wiki. Rules of IRC are here. So, when your temporary block is over, you can carry on as normal on SporeWiki. I suggest you do what most new users on SporeWiki do, make fiction, post blog comments (that contribute in some way to the topic, not random posts). If you need help or is unceretain of something, then ask our help. Unfortunately, you don't have the luxary of joining IRC. I don't know when your ban will end on IRC, but wait until it does. I'm not even sure if it will end, to be honest with you, since I don't make IRC decisions. But if that is the case, then making a good image on SporeWiki may lead to your ban on IRC being lifted. A final word: if you choose to respect the rules, then we know that you want to be part of the wiki. But if you don't, we can't trust that you are not trolling us. But we endevour to give you a chance, but by breaking those rules or by getting aggravated by them, then how are we supposed to know? 
 * One of your main pitfalls is that you seem to try and evade your ban on IRC or the wiki: by repeatedly trying to join IRC.  Even under the guise of other nicknames, this is still considered a ban evasion.  It is a SporeWiki rule that we increase the block's length of time at every attempt.  Solution:  Just wait until the ban is over.
 * The second most recent cause of your bans was one of your blogs I believe, this Summer, which was perceived as a rant directed towards the community. Honestly, we don't like seeing this sort of thing.
 * Also try to stay on-topic on blogs
