[00:23] newz2000: you might wish to read the Ubuntu channel guidelines :) === e-jat_ is now known as e-jat [04:02] nalioth: I think I have but I guess I'm not sure, can you be more specific for something I should be looking for? === tritium_ is now known as tritium [10:50] hi huats, how many I assist you? [10:50] hi [10:50] :) [10:50] I am the leader of the french loco and we have so pb on our IRC... it is a freenode related pb, but I sure some of you have good connections with theur staff [10:50] :) [10:51] pb? [10:51] we are facing a very annoying pb : on our main channel (#ubuntu-fr) we are near the ban limit [10:52] we have already reach that limit, and with lots of clean in it, we have some ban slot available... [10:52] but it will just last for some time... [10:52] we know about the +L mode, which is allowed by freenode staff [10:53] we contacted them about that [10:53] but they are not answering ... [10:53] Ah, what you need... it the +L mode yes. [10:53] (we have deal with nalioth, who is not answering us anymore...) [10:54] definitly [10:54] we know by instance that our german friends has the +L mode... [10:54] so it is possible to get it :) [10:54] elkbuntu: Are you around to poke staff? ^ [10:55] can anyone here, help us :) [10:55] thanks jpds [10:55] huats: Yeah, I think we have to ask the IRC Council to poke staff on your behalf... which I just did. [10:55] ok thanks [10:59] huats: Why is #ubuntu-fr set to private? [11:00] jpds: let me check :) [11:00] Flags : SECURE GUARD PRIVATE [11:00] jpds: i mean, let me ask the question to one of the guy who is dealing with our irc channel :) [11:02] jpds: one of the guy is about to come and explain :) [11:02] hi [11:02] jpds: Zic is one of them :) [11:03] ohh, hi Zic [11:04] Zic can you explain a bit to jpds the reason of the PRIVATE Flag on #ubuntu-fr ? [11:05] jpds: Long time ago (in a far far galaxy… hem, no), we are +o only when it is requires, like Freenode philosophy want it [11:06] Zic: You do not requiere PRIVATE to be set for that. [11:06] jpds: yes, I can desactivate it if you want, it just an old flag :) [11:06] (because new users query operators and say "please, give me operator privileges") [11:07] Zic: It's just that when someone tries: /msg ChanServ access #ubuntu-fr list - to ask an op for help, he/she cannot see who's an op. [11:07] now, we are +o when a lot of people are chating, to prevent from abuse [11:07] You are not authorized to perform this operation. [11:07] jpds: we have a !ops factoids on #ubuntu-fr which advertise us [11:08] but I can remove this flag, no problem [11:09] we have a private channel for moderator only, where users can chatting with ops about a problem of moderation [11:09] flag was removed now [11:09] Hmm, ok [11:11] huats, is it not possible to clear some of the bans? [11:11] huats, freenode is always reluctant to lift the limit [11:11] elkbuntu: hi [11:11] elkbuntu: hi, we clean banlist all of week-ends [11:11] elkbuntu: we already clear the list many times [11:12] but we always get the same ones who comes back... a few days after [11:12] and ban them again... [11:12] (we also clear some old bans, but sometimes users who was banned rejoin the channel, and do bad stuff…) [11:13] elkbuntu: I can clearly understand that freenode is reluctant about lifting the limit [11:13] but I think we prouved that we are wise in banning... the thing is that we are such a big Loco that this limit is a bit low for us... [11:15] huats, so there's no dynamic addresses in the list? [11:16] elkbuntu: It is not end of week yet, but I can take a look now if you want [11:17] I have remove 2 bans, one dynamic IP, and an old ban [11:18] I don't find other dynamic bans… [11:18] elkbuntu: regarding the dynamic/static adresse, Zic know it more than I do [11:19] s/dynamic bans/dynamic IP/ sorry [11:24] this morning, we have 41bans/50, after cleaning, we have 38 bans now [11:24] the limit of 50 bans is too close… [11:28] huats, i've directed a staffer cto contact you when they have a moment [11:28] he already did [11:28] thanks elkbuntu [11:28] :) [11:28] no prob. sorry it was slow. i was cooking dinner [11:29] elkbuntu: thanks [11:30] elkbuntu: no pb [11:30] :) [11:30] enjoy your dinner :) [11:30] creamy honey mustard chicken and rice. i think i will enjoy ;) [11:31] hum [11:31] elkbuntu: don't say that I am on a diet :) [11:32] hehe === Rafik_ is now known as Rafik === Philip6 is now known as Philip5 === [NikO] is now known as [NikO]oqp === [NikO]oqp is now known as [NikO] === Rafik_ is now known as Rafik
