[11:30] (ubotu/#ubuntu-ops) cpk1 called the ops in #kubuntu
[11:48] <bbrazil> "i=root@byv230.internetdsl.tpnet.pl" I thought we used to quiet anyone who conected to irc as root?
[11:48] <bbrazil> or was that #debian...
[11:53] <bbrazil> jrib: I assume that was for their link, not my comment above?
[11:54] <Hobbsee> i'm a litlte wary of doing stuff like that - a warning, yes - but not a ban
[11:54] <Hobbsee> i occasionally have to connect as root
[11:54] <jrib> bbrazil: yeah, the link and then just leaving
[11:54] <Hobbsee> when i've screwed up my machine, and been on irc getting help on fixing it
[11:54] <bbrazil> #debian used to be quite militant about such things
[11:55] <bbrazil> and then the user part of the hostmask changed, so the quiet no longer worked as-is
[12:07] <nalioth> bbrazil: #debian
[12:08] <bbrazil> yes, #debian. I used to help out there, before I started helping out in #ubuntu
[12:09] <nalioth> there are lots of user-unfriendly rules in #debian
[12:10] <nalioth> that's why we answer debian (and now suse) questions in #ubuntu
[12:10] <jrib> we do?
[12:10] <bbrazil> I know I once answered a cygwin question, someone was wondring why 'find' wasn't working
[12:11] <gnomefreak> #ubuntu should be renamed to #ubuntu-suse-debian?
[12:11] <bbrazil> I think nalioth is proposing more #humnity-to-others
[12:12] <gnomefreak> i can understand that. debian eh ok thats fine but suse?
[12:12] <gnomefreak> thats more off topic than automatix
[12:12] <bbrazil> some questions can be answered from a general unix standpoint
[12:12] <gnomefreak> dont get me wrong i use suse
[12:14] <gnomefreak> IMO by going that way with it we are opening ourselves up for "please join #u-o about the automatix topic"  user="why you are disscussing suse?"
[12:14] <gnomefreak> used topic as they were just typed
[12:17] <gnomefreak> as it is clear to us on why we do things its not always clear to users
[12:19] <bbrazil> I'm sure there'll be an official policy on it at some point
