nzkJesus christ09:47
Myrttilife is09:48
nzkisn't he like, the head of IRC for Ubuntu?09:48
Hobbseehe's taken a break, for personal reasons09:48
Hobbseeand there's an op council09:48
Hobbseeso, it's not just him.09:48
nzkCan't someone besides him unban me?09:48
Hobbseeare you asking can or will?09:48
nzkBoth09:49
Hobbseetechnically, yes, anyone with access can unban you.09:49
Hobbseewill, i'll leave that up to the council - but previously, their answer has been no09:49
nzkIt's been a year09:49
nzkLike seveas said, I can get unbanned in a year09:50
Hobbseeit's not been a year09:50
Hobbseeseeing as i've only used linux for 2 - it's been way less than half my time using linux, that he told you that you could come back in a year.09:50
nzk10 months, 2 or 3 weeks.09:50
nzkAugust 17th, 2006, was the ban date, I believe.09:50
Myrttiso it's not been a year09:51
Myrttinext question09:51
Hobbsee@btlogin09:51
nzkHowever, gnomefreak or whatever his name was recommended for my being unbanned recently, what happened with that?09:52
Hobbseeyour last ban in #ubuntu was april 9, 200709:52
nzkThat's an autoban from when I came in on another IP, and the bot saw me09:52
nzkSince I had the channel on autojoin for a long time, and if I went to a hotel or something09:53
Hobbseeaugust 26 was the last user-set ban for #ubuntu it looks like09:54
nzkMy birthday :)09:54
nzkBut I wasn't even on the computer that day...09:54
Hobbseeno, i dont accept excuses of "i couldnt control my account, when i was identified", or "the rules dont apply to me because i didnt read them" or any other crap excuse like that.09:55
nzkI didn't make excuses, I just said I don't recall being on the computer on my birthday.09:56
GazzaKOh Hi nzk morning09:56
nzkNot here09:56
nzkOf all places09:56
Hobbseenzk: then again, if you cant behave in other ubuntu channels, why should we believe that you can behave in #ubuntu?09:56
nzkWhat do you mean by that?09:57
Hobbseenzk: the last time you trolled one of them, it was...lets see....May 19th, 2007.09:57
nzkI've behaved fine in #*ubuntu* channels09:57
GazzaKand you cannot behave in other freenode channels, thats for sure09:57
nzkWhich channel was that?09:57
Hobbsee#ubuntu+109:57
nzkYou were the one that set that ban, it was something like asking for Feisty support but you only had Gutsy support09:57
sdoublespeaking of unabnning.. I get forwarded to #ubuntu-read-topic and did the firmware upgrade.  Can I get checked again for this?09:57
Hobbseeindeed.09:58
Hobbseesdouble: sure09:58
nzkHobbsee, that wasn't trolling though09:58
Hobbseeno, was merely disobeying teh rules.  so i'm checking the others09:58
Hobbseesdouble: you're fine :)09:58
sdoublewonderful.  thanks again.09:59
nzkSo what do I have to do to get unbanned?10:01
Hobbseenzk: what's more, your last #ubuntu-offtopic ban was clearly done to annoy the ops, and to show that you cant behave.  You've been on irc long enough that you know perfectly well what !ops does.  Therefore, i say, it's a year from that date, ie, a year to see if you can learn to behave, from the last time that you clearly havent.10:01
nzkArgh10:01
nzkThat wasn't to "clearly annoy the ops"10:01
Hobbseewhich means, dont come back until January 14th, 200810:01
Hobbseeyou know what ops does.  you're a known troll.10:01
Hobbseegood day to you.10:01
nzkI didn't know, I swear10:01
Hobbsee....10:02
nzkBesides, it has more to do with knowing ubotu commands than being on IRC10:02
Hobbseenext you're going to tell me that on all ubuntu irc channels, you havent been taking any notice of the bot.10:02
nzkI have but I never saw anyone use/mention that command10:02
nzkIIRC10:02
Hobbseeany seconds?10:03
Hobbseenalioth: got a problem with that?10:03
nzkYou came into -offtopic, and I wanted to see if you were an op so I did that, unknowing that it would highlight all the ops10:03
nzkI apologized anyway, it was an honest mistake10:03
Hobbseeunless anyone from the op council speaks up against it, and proposes something better, that will be the terms of the agreement about being unbanned in ubuntu related channels.10:04
Hobbseeelkbuntu: ^10:04
Hobbseei agree with seveas, for his ban message.  "bollocks"10:05
elkbuntunzk, if you didnt know it was going to highlight the ops, why did you do something that by your own admission was going to list the nicks of ops?10:06
elkbuntuplease try to not contradict yourself, it only digs you deeper into the hole you're already in10:07
Hobbseeelkbuntu: so you're seconding?10:08
=== Seeker` [n=cjo20@ip-62-105-182-26.dsl.twang.net] has joined #ubuntu-ops
elkbuntuHobbsee, seconding the reason for punishment, but he can be unbanned *on probation* in 12days, (6mths from last infraction). After which the next infraction regardless of severity would incur a 12mth ban or permaban at the discretion of the council10:11
elkbuntunzk, mark 12days time in your diary and come back then. this decision is final.10:12
Hobbseeelkbuntu: okay, agreed.10:12

PriceChildReading it I don't think its the factoid that's the problem...09:11
Seeker`PriceChild: The factoid annoys several people09:11
Seeker`including me09:11
PriceChildI can understand that..09:11
Seeker`even when it isn't directed at me09:11
gnomefreakwe cant really pull a factoid out of one channel but you can make !ohmy#ubuntu-uk is <reply> stop screwing with the bot09:11
Seeker`that would be good09:12
PriceChildI still don't want to.09:12
gnomefreaklol09:12
=== GazzaK agrees
PriceChildThere are people in that channel with attitudes who need to learn how to behave.09:12
Seeker`PriceChild: we are working on that09:12
GazzaKPriceChild, stop looking at me09:12
=== PriceChild tickles GazzaK "oh behave!"
gnomefreaki have tro agree with PriceChild its not needed if people stop playing with it. tell the ops to do thier job?09:12

GazzaKgnomefreak, their\09:13

PriceChild*wonders about pming the people he sees stand out on the log*09:13
gnomefreakbotabuse is punnisable by kick09:13
DavieyPriceChild: don't please09:13
Seeker`I was afk at the time. The problem is that several people see it as a joke09:13
DavieyPriceChild: it will cause more problems atm09:13
GazzaKPriceChild, we will try to sort them out ourselves first please09:14
PriceChild*takes his nasty hat off*09:14
GazzaKonce we get ubuntu ops involved it takes it to the next level, something we are dying to not happen09:14
PriceChildyeah09:14
=== gnomefreak wonders how an op doing thier job causes problems, oh well i go do something else now, beena long damn morninbg

Seeker`out of interest, does the CoC mandate no swearing?09:28
gnomefreak!coc09:28
ubotuThe Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/09:28
PriceChild"be respectful" kind of thing09:28
gnomefreaksorry couldnt help it :)09:28
Seeker`PriceChild: doesn't really answer the question :P09:29
PriceChildalong with "be considerate", you don't know who's around... and so you should be poilte so you don't offend09:29
GazzaKso is "respectful" the same as no swearing?09:29
GazzaKie if it fitted the convo, could a swear word be totally okay09:29
PriceChildalong with consideration for others09:29
GazzaKif it were a common use word09:29
Seeker`does referring to an old computer as "s***" count as being unconsiderate, or not respectful09:30
GazzaKie if it is a word often used on telly, before 9pm09:30
PriceChildwell is the s word a bad word or not?09:30
Seeker`PriceChild: I think as long as it isn't directed at someone, no09:30
PriceChildscratch that...09:30
GazzaKcan I give examples?09:31
Seeker`but thats my PoV09:31
PriceChildis there a very real possiblity that someone would read the s word as being a "nasty word"09:31
GazzaKwithout getting kicked :p09:31
DavieyThis is a problem we've been having for months; some poeople feel the need to use bad language and others won't accept it09:31
PriceChildthis is your opinion that matters... seen as you're the operators in the channel09:31
PriceChildyou make the decision09:31
GazzaKthats what I thought09:31
DavieyPriceChild: we are split09:31
PriceChildbut IMO you should want to be open to all09:31
PriceChildif you allow bad language, you turn some away who don't like it... if you don't allow bad language, then you keep those people, and there's also no reason why those who don't mind language would want to leave09:32
Seeker`there are people that feel that it is unfair to stop them using the language they normally use09:32
PriceChildI would say that those who want the "right" to use bad language despite if making others feel uncomfortable should think twice09:32
nixternaldon't kick/ban on a swear word, politely warn them to try and keep it a family friendly channel. if they don't listen, quiet them for a bit09:32
Seeker`especially if it isn't aimed at anyone09:32
nzkIf they want to be there, they have to go by the rules09:33
PriceChildnzk, "guidelines" :P09:33
nzkYou don't go into a school and talk "like you normally do"09:33
gnomefreakPriceChild: see !rules09:33
nzkSo why should you expect to go into a civilized room and do that?09:33
Seeker`the problem is that one of the ops has that view, and is quite adament09:33
nzkMy opinion would be a 15 min kickban with a message not to swear on the first offense09:34
nzkThen operator's discretion on subsequent ones09:34
gnomefreakits always best to air on the cautious side of things that way you dont upset all people, either way someone isnt gonna like the rules thats why there are ops09:35
GazzaKwhat about if the person getting this kickban would take great offence at it?09:35
Seeker`and what counts as a swear word? i'm sure there are people that are offended by "damn"09:35
Seeker`or crap09:35
PriceChildwell then that's operator discression09:35
PriceChildhave you read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcTeam/OperatorGuidelines ?09:35
Seeker`but they are in day-to-day usage by most people09:35
nzkThe only people offended by Damn or Crap are soccer mom church people09:35
nzkWho wouldn't be near IRC09:35
DavieyPriceChild: operator discression is not good!09:36
Seeker`nzk: They are still people, they still might want to take part09:36
PriceChildnzk, (this may not be my opinion) so that means its ok that they aren't allowed to feel comfortable in the channel?09:36
gnomefreakDaviey: than there is trust missing09:36
nzkMost people are adults, if they find something offensive then they can leave or politely ask the offender to stop.09:36
Seeker`if you use the argument "people may be offended by x", it is always possible to take it to the point where someone would be offended by everything09:36
Davieygnomefreak: no not all, just a difference of opinion09:36
PriceChildDaviey, our operator guidelines are left intentionally vague in many areas...09:36
nzkOr perhaps have some sort of censoring or something on their IRC client09:37
nzkSeeker`, people who are offended by everything should not expect to go into somewhere and be comfortable09:37
Davieynzk: maybe i can punch you; and you need to hold a shield up?09:37
Seeker`nzk: But at what level do you draw the line?09:37
nzkDaviey, I don't own a shield09:37
Davieyand i don't own censoring in irc clients09:38
Seeker`when do you say to one person, "stop being so uptight" and to another, "you are right, that is offensive"?09:38
PriceChildThis is the whole point... its a decision you need to make as a group of operators. However I don't want to find people being uncomfortable in a channel with no swearing09:38
nzkSeeker`, my personal list, in order of badness of words, is Damn > A word > S word > F word from lowest to highest09:38
nzkDamn and Crap could be allowed, they exist to replace the worse words09:39
ubotuJamesinator called the ops in #ubuntu09:39
Seeker`but is "damn you" (i.e. directed at someone) < he kicked me in the a**?09:39
nzkSeeker`, Those were arrows, not greater than signs09:40
GazzaKWell I would tend to think those words as pretty okay in the right (ie not directed at someone, but a thing, ie this computer is shit) context, but the see you next tuesday word is my idea of the worst09:40
Seeker`nzk: I;m trying to make the point that context matters09:40
nzkWhat would that word be?09:40

bobgillok i need to be tested09:42
Seeker`nzk: I;m english09:42
nzkYeah, here in USA I _never_ hear that word09:43
Seeker`nzk: I realise that you cant please everyone - what we wanted was some guidance on how many people we should be aiming to please09:43
nzkContext, like you said09:43
bobgillHey I need to be tested I was forwarded to #ubuntu-read-topic09:43
GazzaKit's a very derogatory term for a womans private area nzk09:43
nzkGazzaK, ...I know09:43
GazzaKdid not know if they used a different word there09:44
nzkIf someone says like "Hey! nzk eats s***!" its bannable, but if someone is like "Aww s*** this s***ty piece of dog s*** is ****ing acting up again" that's also unnecessarily overdone and bannable09:44
Seeker`but what about "my computer is a piece fo s***"?09:45

PriceChildBut they don't "need" to?09:48
nzkAhh, screw it, I vote for full censorship.09:48

PriceChildthey don't _need_ to.09:49
nzkI know, right.09:49
nzkIf they want to come in here and get help with their problems or whatever then they should follow the rules, read the guidelines, IINAE, etc.09:50
Seeker`they dont _need_ to swear, but it may be part of the way they express themselves09:50
PriceChildSo if they don't need to swear... then they can live without it?09:50
nzkYes, they can.09:50
PriceChildand it won't be detrimental to them whatsoever09:51
nzkI swear infront of my friends all the time, but I haven't infront of my parents in years. People on IRC can restrain themselves too.09:51
PriceChild(Again, it is your decision to make, not mine)09:51
Seeker`PriceChild: we are trying to sort it now09:52
PriceChildIf you allow bad language though, it very well could be detrimental to the channel, if you make others feel uncomfortable, and decide not to continue in the community.09:52
