I've gone ahead and banned the web client for now, as it has caused more problems than anything else. This is a result of a rash of people who don't know how to use IRC, haven't read our guidelines, and continue to defy them, even after having been spoken to by multiple operators, then having been kicked multiple times.

My sincerest apologies to anybody who legitimately uses the freenode web gateway, or anybody who just doesn't have a traditional client set up yet. If you need help with client setup, please ask here.
