What is cloning?
I didn't clone! I don't even know what it means!
Cloning can be described as the connection of multiple clients from a single IP Address or Host. Cloning can cause many problems to networks, and are generally used in the flooding of a channel and causing various network harm. It is for this reason that we have decided it necessary to limit the number of connections allowed from a certain user

How can I prevent myself from being akilled?
The best way to try to prevent yourself from being akilled is to limit the number of connections from your IP. If you are at a Cyber Cafe, you are at the highest risk for being akilled. But, if you keep only 1 or 2 connections from your IP from your location of your connection, you have almost no chance of being autokilled for cloning.

How many connections allowed on WebChat?
You are allowed no more than 2 connections from a given IP/Host. If you go beyond this, you are at risk for being caught and removed from the WebChat IRC network due to cloning.

What if you are in a cyber cafe and you have been akilled?
If you are at a cyber cafe and you are disconnected due to cloning there is a few things you can do. First, you can tell the manager of the cafe to visit this page for a description of what happened. Secondly, you can wait 30 minutes (the time of most akills) and try to reconnect. You may also look around and see if you can find anybody cloning and tell them that it is not good and that everyone now has to suffer because of them.

Who do I get in touch with to complain?
If for some reason you believe you were incorrectly disconnected from the WebChat IRC network you can do a few things. You may email kline@webchat.org with a copy of the AutoKill Message, your IP Address, and a description of what happened. If the autokill has expired, you may go to #klineteam on WebChat to also receive information.
