There was an issue on freenode related to spambots:
02:39:26 freenode -- kline (~kline@freenode/staff/enucs.kline): [global
notice] Hi there: freenode is experiencing a large quantity
of spam. If you receive links from users you don't recognise, please do
not open them. If you are affected, please set usermode +R
to block messages from unidentified users.
02:40:10 freenode -- kline (~kline@freenode/staff/enucs.kline): [global
notice] Additionally, while working to minimise this spam,
staff error led to the majority of the network receiving a temporary
K-Line (network ban). The ban has since been lifted and those
affected should be able to reconnect. Please accept our apologies, and
contact us if you, or someone you know, still cannot connect.
06:22:48 freenode -- christel
(christel@freenode/staff/exherbo.christel): [Global Notice] In light of
the wave of spambots sending
links to child pornography images, we have chosen to update our default
umodes to include +R (blocking messages from unregistered
users). To allow such messages, /mode yournick -R. Apologies for the
disruption and the inconvenience.
Hope this clarifies what happened.
