You are banned from the channel #debian

I tried different nicks and different computers with different IPs.
I entered irc.debian.org with Empathy in ubuntu with no problems.
I asked in #debian irc.debian.org but nothing.

Maybe some operator blocked mibbit? who should I contact?
Please CC me I am not on the list.
Thank you, bye.

It would appear either oftc or a #debian channel operator placed a blanket ban on *@.mibbit.com (not a smart way to place bans), it will either auto-expire or be manually removed, depending on how it was applied and by who.
