What is a G-line?

A G-line is a temporary ban for the whole network you will be not able to connect to the network.

How do I recognize that I'm g-lined?

Simply because you can not connect to the network and you will get an error message. This could be look like that:

AUTO Excessive connections from a single host.. Closing Link: nick by OGame1.OGameNet.net (G-lined) Disconnected (Remote host closed socket).

Important is the second line. There you can see "G-Lined"

What should I do now?

If you have been g-lined because of a direct connection to the IRC-server, look the at the http://www.onlinegamesnet.net/checkGline.php G-Line check. There will be checked if your IP is Glined and for how long and the reason.

The reason is will be also shown at your IRC-Client serverwindow (like the quote above)

The gline is incorrect - I want it removed!

That can also be requested at the http://www.onlinegamesnet.net/checkGline.php G-Line check. There will be a field to contact us. But you should add a good reason to remove the gline. Short Glines of an hour (called "Blocks") will only be removed in rare cases.

For example: "AUTO excessive connections from a single host." - Just wait an hour and connect then again to the OnlineGamesNet

!IMPORTANT! DO NOT evade a Gline to talk with us in the IRC. That is called Gline evading and is strictly prohibited and will be punishet harder than a Gline. Contact us via the webform or via Email.
