huatshello everyone09:58
huatselkbuntu: hey09:58
huatselkbuntu: do you remember last week the pb we had with the ban limit ?09:58
huatselkbuntu: we are still facing it...09:58
huatselkbuntu: I talked to seanw the freenode staffer to you send to me, but since another staffer had looked at it, he couldn't do anything (which I fully understand)09:59
huatsthe problem is that this other staffer (nalioth), has not explained anything to us....10:00
huatsand when I try to talk to me and explain his decision (I am asking that since I am the leader of the loco and that this pb affects the loco) he says "you already had an answer ", which is false... and he refuses to say anything more...10:01
huatsI have to admit that I am a bit loss...10:01
=== gripey is now known as bazhang
tomawhuats: can't you remove some of the old bans?10:07
huatstomaw: it has already been10:08
huatslots and lots of time10:08
huatsbut we are always near the limit10:08
huatsthe last time we removed bans, we were still around 4010:09
huatswe are a big big loco10:09
huatsand this is our main channel10:09
huats...10:09
huatsthe pb is that some guys, try to come back very often (even if they were banned a long time ago)10:10
tomawcan you replace the bans for those people with chanserv akicks?10:13
tomawit's a tiny bit more noisy but it should allow you to keep the actual ban listing shorter10:14
tomawIt's just a suggestion.  I don't know the reasons why nalioth said no and am in the same situation as seanw in that I'm not willing to grant it if he said no.10:14
huatstomaw: i will talk to the guys in charge of dealing with irc pbs of the locos about your solutions10:15
huatsI fully understand your point tomaw (for not changing the decision of nalioth)10:16
huatsthe thing I don't understand is why he refuses to explain it...10:16
huatsi've talked to him, asking him a reason, and he never answer...10:16
huatsthere is no dicsussion at all... that is why I am a bit dispointed10:17
huatsI think every decision can be admit, but not one which is not explained...10:17
kirjava1evening folks11:03
Myrttigday11:03
kirjava1how many different portions (spererated by slashes) can you have in freenode claoks?11:05

emgentPriceChild: ping15:44
naliothhuats: the problem is that several of you have come forward as " the leader of #ubuntu-fr ", and requested the same thing.  the situation got explained by PriceChild and myself to one of you.  perhaps you need to get your group together and find out exactly what is going on?15:45
huatsnalioth: glad I can talk to you again15:46
huatsnalioth: to sum up, we are a very big loco... so indeed we have dedicated leaders (or at least group of responsible) for some part of the loco... I am the leader of the whole loco (not just #ubuntu-fr)15:47
huatsthat is why I come to talk to you...15:47
huatsand clearly I don't see your point in refusing to explain it to me...15:48
huatsbecause when I ask all the other guys each of them told me that there was no explanations at all...15:48
huatsthis is why I want to clarify that situation15:48
huatsand honnestly I am not really sure that you behaviour (of refusing discussion) really helps to solve our pb...15:50
naliothi am not "refusing discussion", i am tired of a new person showing up once a week saying they're the responsible party15:50
huatsnalioth: but just say it...15:51
naliothPriceChild: and myself have evaluated your request and you guys do not utilize your banlist properly15:51
huatsnalioth: ok, can you detail a little more ?15:51
naliothwell, there are bans there that are very much out of date15:52
nalioththere were redundant entries there15:52
huatsnalioth: all that has been cleared after you mention that to the guys in charge of our irc (and for the record I am here to talk to you, since the have the feeling that you are not answering them... this is why they asked me to contact you...)15:53
huatsand regarding "a new person showing up once a week saying they're the responsible party" there is noone above me, in the french loco, you can ask around :)15:56
naliothhuats: well, we had the channel owner come here, and another fellow before him15:59
naliothand the fact that you cleared a few bans doesn't mean y'all aren't gonna put 'em back  ( otw, they'd not have been there in the first place )16:00
huatsnalioth: i trust my guys when they told me that they have cleared all the bans they can16:02
naliothbut you're missing the point16:02
huatsprobably16:02
nalioththere will be no +u.16:02
huatsthat is why I want to talk to you :)16:02
huats+u ? what do you mean ?16:07
naliother, +L16:08
huatsok16:08
huatsbut from my point of view you haven't still explained me why...16:08
huatsyou tell me : go and clear you ban list... that is what we do...16:08
naliothbanning folks with *away* *brb* *afk* and such is just petty16:08
naliothclearing the ban list doesn't change how you guys ban people16:09
huatsnalioth: ok16:09
huatsthat is just what I wanted from you... a clear explanations...16:09
naliothPriceChild: and I feel that if you get an extended ban list for your channel, it'll be full of petty, ancient bans ( because if you have an extended ban list, you'll need to remove old bans less often )16:10
huatsok16:11
huatsI get your point...16:11
huatsthat is all I wanted...16:11
huatsthanks for taking the time for this explanation16:11
huatsnow I can come back and talk to my guys...16:11
huatsbut on the otherhand if we tend to come back to the limit, without all this "petty" bans, I won't hesitate to come back to you...16:12
huatsyou agree ?16:12
huats(I insist on the "without all these petty bans")16:12
naliothpetty and ancient bans16:13
huatsancient bans too...16:13
PiciIt is probably a good idea to go through the ban list and figure out why each one is there.16:13
huatsPici: that is what I am going our IRC guys to do...16:14
Pici:)16:14
huatsthanks a lot16:14
naliotha lot of your bans are out of date ( if they have been set by the server, and of a numeric hostname, they're probably out of date )16:14
naliothbans are not "fire and forget"16:14
nalioththis is Ubuntu and we give folks second (and third) chances16:15
huatsnalioth: sure16:16
huatsnalioth: but who someone insist in being inpolite or insulting we have to ban him16:16
naliothi understand.16:16
huatsnalioth: the problem is that in France most of us have fixed IP, even from home16:17
huatsso the pb is that even old ban might still need to be in application...16:17
PiciBut a month later, is that user going to come back? Probably not.16:17
naliothyou don't think people can change?16:17
huatsPici: and nalioth of course people can change16:18
huatsbut when someone gets banned16:18
huatswe remove its ban, and comes back 2 months later (we had many times that)16:18
huatsI tend question myself :)16:19
Picihuats: But surely not everyone is like that16:20
huatsapparently we had really a lot of people acting like that16:20
naliothbans should last 24h, unless you have other reasons to extend them16:21
huats24h ?16:21
huatsok16:22
Pici24 hours16:22
nalioth24 hours16:22
huats(I understood)16:22
huatsok, I'll talk to my guys about that16:22
huats...16:22
huatsi'll ask them to have a register of all the guys who have been banned and that come back, after the 24h ban...16:23
naliotha PM to folks that come to your channel with "Hey, we're here for FLOSS collaboration, not insults and such and so on  ( preach the Ubuntu way [ not the Debian way]) "16:23
huatsit is lots of work (the register I mention) but it might all of us, if we face the limit pb again...16:24
huatsnalioth: thanks for the discussion... I mean it...16:28
huatsIt might help us to improve our irc channels...16:29
huatsand at least I know what were your point16:29
emgentnalioth: can you forward #ubuntu-flybook in #ubuntu-mobile ?16:32
naliothemgent: what is #ubuntu-flybook ?16:42
emgentnalioth: channel for support flybook V5 (Dialuge) but it`s possile forward in ubuntu-mobile16:43
naliothnot sure why a ebook tablet channel needs to forward to #ubuntu-mobile16:44
