 +===== K:Line =====
 +:?: ** Question:**\\
 +What is an AKILL on IRC and why was I K:Lined?
 +
 +:!: **Answer:**\\
 +AKILL is a feature of IRC services that will distribute a K:Line to all the other servers in the network. A K:Line is a server ban for your specific hostname or IP address. This means if you are AKILLed then you're banned from every other server. This is done to protect the network from spambots, flooders, and continually disruptive elements. AKILLs are done either manually by a Services Operator, or automatically by use of various methods employed by the IRCops.
 +
 +If you believe you have been accidentally or unfairly AKILLed from the Synchronet IRC network, contact sysop@endofthelinebbs.com with your IRC nickname, ip address, hostname (if you have one), date and time, including timezone, and any other relevant details.
