nzkNo I didnt :(12:36

Seveasautorems can only be removed by me ;)12:39

e1hey i got banned in #winehq for no reason, i was asking about what wine cvs is and how i can get it, cuz i saw it on winehq.com, and some dude called vitamin kicks me off the room after giving me links after links that led nowhere, and then he said go ask someone else, and when i did, he banned me, can someone ban him...?07:26
PriceChilde1, this is an ubuntu channel, nothing to do with wine sorry07:27
tonyyarussoe1: No07:27
e1o i'm not asking about wine, i'm just asking why i got banned at all..07:27
tonyyarussoe1: #1, we don't have control over that channel, #2 there's no reason for revengeful banning07:27
e1o yeah i meant that sort of as a joke, just complaining, i was only asking a question in that channel07:28
e1is there some place i could report this?07:28
e1sorry for being in the wrong channel but this was the only op channel i knew07:28
PriceChilde1, I first suggest you speak to the op that banned you over pm. See if you can make up there07:28
e1ok07:29
e1hmm i msged him asking why i got banned, and even posted his msg to me telling me to ask someone else, i had no answer =( is there some other way, sorrie to be bothering u with this, i guess i could try rejoin that channel, see if i can07:32
e1nope, can't join that channel, o well07:33
jendae1: I'll have a look at it.07:34
e1thx07:35
jendae1: could you email me the log?07:35
jendae1: jenda at ubuntu dot com07:35
e1i don't have a copy of the log of the conversation, i only had the chance to copy one line which is the line when i msged back his own msg telling me to ask again, then i was banned when i did ask, and then (using xchat), when i typed the /join command for this channel, the winehq channel tab closed by itself, and i can't get back in07:37
tonyyarussono autolog?07:37
e1i don't know where it is, i hope there is, new to xchat and linux overall =)07:38
jendae1: should be in your-home-dir/.xchat2/xchatlogs/Freenode-#winehq.log07:39
e1i tried " window -> raw log " in xchat, it was empty, doesn't even have the log for this one07:39
e1ok07:39
e1let me check there, thx so much07:39
e1no, under /home/computer/.xchat2/ i have an empty download folder, besides that i just have 7 configuration files: colors.conf, ignore.conf, keybindings.conf, notify.conf, and servlist_.conf,  sound.conf, and xchat.conf07:42
e1it might still be there tho, maybe i'm not turning the proper things on to view it? cuz i remember i couldn't find my emails files that's supposed to be downloaded on disk couple days ago either07:43
e1the manual for the email client also pointed to some folder that had a dot in front of it07:43
e1but i couldn't find it =(07:43
PriceChildYou have to enable logging in xchat2.... its disabled by defualt07:43
e1o, could someone msg vitamin then, to make him copy and paste the whole conversation?07:45

Terry_Lyesterday, via a band "vote"  (Im new to chat channels)...Seveas08:11
Terry_Lbanned me from #ubuntu, I was told yesterday for 24 hours08:12
Terry_Lit was for spam08:12
Seveasthere are no set dates for bans08:12
Terry_LIts been over 24 hours08:12
Seveasespecially if people keep asking to be unbanned, the bans only last longer08:12
Terry_Land I was wondering if I could be allowed back in08:12

Terry_LI apologized yesterday, and asked that they pass it on to you08:13
HawkwindTerry_L: Best thing to do is just wait it out.  If you're told 24 hours, and it's been 3 - 4 days, then it might be a bit more appropriate to ask about the ban then.  Usually asking right at 24 - 30 hours isn't a good thing08:13
Terry_Lok, np08:14
=== PriceChild wonders what tsmithe is gonna ask/claim :P
tsmitheoh nothing08:14

angstmachinecould i get some assistance from someone? i feel i was unfairly banned from #ubuntu.09:31
tonyyarussoSorry, I don't have time.  Anyone else about?09:32
HawkwindWho banned you and why ?09:32
angstmachineseveas banned me. i accidentally flooded the channel. i miss-typed the command to send a private message when i pasted a log.09:33
ubotuIn ubotu, Caleb said: what is this?09:34
Hawkwindangstmachine: Was this your first time to flood the channel ?  09:34
Terry_Lhello guys...09:35
Terry_Las I'm watching this, I flooded for the first time yesterday, I'm entirely new to chat software, period09:35
Terry_LI apologized, and I'm still waiting after the 24 hr ban09:35
Terry_Lcan I please be left back in09:36
PriceChildTerry_L, 24 hours is just a guideline09:36
Terry_LOK, but haven't I paid a price for spamming 5 lines of chat?09:36
PriceChildTerry_L, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines09:36
angstmachineif i might make a suggestion: it seems terribly harsh to ban users on a support channel who are clearly newbies.09:37
angstmachineistakes are very easy to make.09:37
Hawkwindangstmachine: Seveas is really the only one who can unban you, or speak to you on the issue.  I wasn't in the channel and don't know your history, so I can't give you any information unfortunately09:37
PriceChildangstmachine, in the meantime you may also want to read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines quickly09:37
Seveassame applies to Terry_L 09:38
Terry_Lseveas...and if you look at your log, you seen the gentleman that sugg the ban to your called me a moron 2 or 3 times?09:38
angstmachinemsg hawkwind i tried to talk to seveas about it, but they ignored me. i tried to apologize to the channel, as i have read the conduct and the guidelines. it was simple user error.09:39
Seveasangstmachine, no need to pm... 09:39
SeveasTerry_L, you can't disagree that you gave him a reason to do so09:39
Seveasyou were acting like a moron09:39
angstmachineclearly i screwed up pming anyway so it doesn't matter... i'm really very new to all this. i was just trying to get help.09:40
Seveaswhether you are one or not is a different matter09:40
Terry_LOh, I understand now09:40
DBOSeveas, perhaps i am out of line here09:40
DBObut even though he was being a moron09:40
DBOhes not being one now...09:40
DBOand hes showing at least some kind of remorse09:40
SeveasDBO, no, now he's just annoying and repeatedly asking to be unbanned09:40
Terry_LDBO knows I was on here yesterday apologizing09:40
Terry_LI even asked it to pass it along to you, my friend09:41
HawkwindApologizing is a good thing, but that doesn't necessarily mean your actions aren't still subject to punishment09:41
Terry_LI do realize I was being childish but didn't think spamming a line 5 times was going to get me booted09:41
Terry_LI do understand the circumstances now tho09:41
HawkwindTerry_L: Now you know and hopefully you learn from your mistakes.  That's the best thing that can happen09:42
HawkwindTerry_L: So you're saying you're still banned from the channel ?09:42
angstmachineis there a general administrator of this server that i could e-mail my concerns to?09:43
PriceChildangstmachine, Seveas is head of the irc council for ubuntu09:44
PriceChild(or part of the irc council if not head of it....)09:44
Hawkwindangstmachine: Freenode staff really doesn't get involved in channel issues.  So it's best to really solve the problem here if there really is a problem09:44
Seveasangstmachine, you can appeal in here, you were heared and I didn't hear anyone disagree09:44
SeveasPriceChild, the council is a bit disfunctional now it misses a member09:44

angstmachineokay, well not to continue to beat a dead horse, but who is charge of the writing the IRC guidelines on the wiki? or the code of conduct?09:55

jendasupports edgy _and_ feisty :)10:03
angstmachineokay well apparently this channel is my only recourse so what follows is my formal suggestion to the administration (i hope this doesn't count as flooding ;))::10:09
angstmachineThe support channels should be a place where new users are able to go and get help, whatever their level of ability, or knowledge. Learning to use linux is a difficult proposition for any computer user, especially for users who have only ever had experience in mac or windows. But to then have to study the commands for IRC, if they are new to that as well, and be expected to exectute those commands as well as an experie10:09
angstmachinenced user is asking alot! Channels like #ubuntu, #kubuntu, ect should not punish these users for thier inexperience. If rules are violated users should be made aware of the mistake, given an opportunity to apologize, and if neccisarry kicked and made to re-connect. this should be sufficient to resolve most issues with in-experienced users. I understand to those familiar with IRC find these mistakes annoying, but the us10:09
angstmachineers in a support channel should expect thesekind of mistakes as par for the course. We do not all log on with the same level of ability, and if we truly wish to make this OS available to as many peopleas possible we should be able to allow for different levels of ability, and treat those who might be less experienced with us with EVEN MORE care than we would treat our equals or betters.10:09
HawkwindEver heard of pastebin ?10:10
PriceChildangstmachine, I think its reasonable you also read guidelines10:10
angstmachinei read the guidelines... you understand i'm new to IRC. i merely came here to get help and i have been treated rudely since i logged on. maybe i have a different vision for how this all should work,10:12
angstmachinemaybe if there was a #newbie channel10:12
PriceChildangstmachine, if you've read the guidelines then I'm sure you can agree they're very reasonable and there's no reason why you shouldn't follow them in the future whilst in #ubuntu* channels10:13
angstmachinei just don't want someone who is more inexperienced than me to have the experience that i did. they may never comeback, re-install windows and never look back.10:14
angstmachinei didn't violate guidelines on purpose though... if i was purposely trying to make people mad i might have deserved a ban...10:14
angstmachinei don't care if not dropping the subject gets me banned permanently, i feel i was mistreated, and that this policy should change.10:15
Hawkwindangstmachine: Are you still banned from the channel ?10:16
Hawkwindangstmachine: PM'ing users without permission happens to be considered rude.  If/When someone asks you a question here, you should answer them here.  Please refrain from doing those things10:17
Hawkwindangstmachine: So I'll ask you again, are you still banned from the channel, meaning, have you even tried to join the channel again ?10:17
angstmachinesorry, according to bugbot i am still banned. thank you for letting me know that by the way.10:18
Hawkwindangstmachine: Ok, but have you tried joining the channel ?10:18
angstmachinei have been unbanned.10:19
HawkwindLet me shed some light on something.........10:19
HawkwindYou've been unbanned this entire time you've been complaining about it actually.  You were unbanned just a few minutes after the original ban was placed10:19
HawkwindI discovered nearly one hour ago that you were unbanned actually.  10:20
angstmachinethat's fine. do you understand why i've been in here making suggestions to you all? it was very VERY frustrating to be treated so poorly, and i would hope that you will take my suggestions to heart.10:21
angstmachinei will now be turning to this avenue of support as an absolute last resort because of this experience.10:22
angstmachinethank you all for putting up with me. i'll leave you alone now.10:23

jendaI must admit I partly agree with that guy. We can't afford to provide an offputting support environment to our users. That would make us fall to the level of other distros. We are the distro for human beings, you know.11:00
jendaThat doesn't refer to any of these cases, however, as I didn't follow them.11:00
