smallfoot-can someone unban me from #ubuntu-offtopic?00:58
smallfoot-i have been banned a very long time00:58
Picismallfoot-: Do you remember why you were banned?00:59
smallfoot-no01:00
Picismallfoot-: Could you please read this and let me know when you are finished  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines01:02
smallfoot-aff, must not be an asshole, blah, blah, soon you will have to agree to an EULA to use IRC, like you have to agree on EULA to use Windows01:03
nickrudsmallfoot- we have kids hanging around, the channels are disney g rated.01:04
bazhangI already lifted the ban01:04
smallfoot-oh01:04
smallfoot-oh01:04
bazhangat least on the ip address01:04
smallfoot-Cannot join #ubuntu-offtopic (You are banned).01:04
smallfoot-i still cant join01:04
bazhangoh ubuntu-offtopic01:04
smallfoot-what, how can you know my ip address? i have cloak, so it must be hidden01:04
PiciYou were banned for being hostile as well as for using harsh language01:04
bazhangthat is Hobbsee01:04
smallfoot-im never hostile, i never threat anyone, but yes i did use harsh language01:05
PiciI'm looking at it, since she isn't around.01:05
smallfoot-also, isnt there any ubuntu channel without kids in it?01:05
bazhangsmallfoot-, you can get into #ubuntu now?01:05
nickrudah, work day is over. time to go. See you all later01:06
smallfoot-bazhang, i am in #ubuntu now, but cant get in #ubuntu-offtopic01:06
bazhangcya nickrud01:06
Picismallfoot-: There are no Ubuntu channels that allow such language01:06
bazhangsmallfoot-, that is a different op01:06
smallfoot-and i must goto the offtopic channel, because im not allowed to talk about some stuff in #ubuntu01:06
bazhangsmallfoot-, or you could say it inside your head and not type foul language on irc01:06
bazhangie act like an adult.01:07
smallfoot-well, i been banned in #ubuntu-offtopic for a long time, and if i talk about offtopic stuff in #ubuntu, then i get banned, so i must get unbanned to follow the rules01:07
PiciAnd you must follow the rules to get unbanned01:07
bazhangsmallfoot-, that is not true; just stay ontopic and type your foul language on an open office document01:07
smallfoot-:(01:08
smallfoot-but i wanna talk about other stuff too, on-topic all the time is boring :(01:08
bazhangsmallfoot-, then go to a different channel as #ubuntu will never allow that.01:08
smallfoot-yeah, thats why i need goto #ubuntu-offtopic01:08
bazhangsmallfoot-, that is a false equivalence; you can stay on topic on #ubuntu, or not join #ubuntu.01:09
smallfoot-yeah, but i want to talk about some stuff that is not asking for help, so i need go into #ubuntu-offtopic01:10
bazhangsmallfoot-, best to part now.01:10
smallfoot-because i want to talk about ubuntu, but (now i know) that i can only ask about support in #ubuntu01:10
smallfoot-Pici, please unban me from #ubuntu-offtopic01:10
bazhangsmallfoot-, the operator in charge of your ban is not here, and idling is not allowed in this channel.01:10
smallfoot-oh, but im not idling (yet)01:10
smallfoot-hmm.. only Hobbsee can unban me? hes never here01:11
bazhangsmallfoot-, your business here is concluded for now; there is no waiting around.01:11
PiciI'll speak to hobbsee about this so that we know how to continue01:11
smallfoot-but i wanted wait for Pici if he can unban me, or if anyone can tell me if its only Hobbsee who is allowed to unban?01:12
smallfoot-oh okie01:12
bazhangbye smallfoot-01:12
PiciHobbsee: ping re: above ^01:12
smallfoot-last question, can you make a channel for ubuntu adults where you can cuss? and is there any place for whining?01:12
bazhangsmallfoot-, no.01:12
PiciI don't forsee that happening any time soon01:12
Flannelsmallfoot-: profanity isn't an indication of maturity01:12
naliothsmallfoot-: no official Ubuntu channel will offer that much leash01:12
smallfoot-Flannel, yeah but it helps when im angry01:13
smallfoot-ok01:13
bazhangsmallfoot-, make your own channel #whine01:13
smallfoot-bye, so idont get ban from here01:13
* Pici sighs01:13
* bazhang goes to join channel #whine01:13
PiciI'm sure hes going to do something to get banned again if he does get unbanned.01:13
bazhangoh for sure.01:14
bazhangthe logic of users sometimes astounds me.01:15
bazhangor lack of.01:15
bazhangxjjk (i=texas@anubis.hotnudiegirls.com) has joined #ubuntu family-friendly?01:17
naliothbazhang: is he trolling?01:18
bazhangnalioth, was referring to the hot etc. etc01:18
naliothi suspect taht if you dont call attention to it, nobody will pay any to it01:19
Flanneloh.  He's not a troll, asking for proper help.01:19
bazhangsmallfoot-> They should make an "Ubuntu Whinestorm" website (like Brainstorm) where people whine and the most annoying things get voted up, and the whines with most votes get attention by developers and fixed01:21
bazhangthought that was what brainstorm was :)01:21
Flannelfor the most part, yep.01:22

HobbseePici: you can deal with it, if you like02:46
PiciHobbsee: I thought so, I wanted to clear it with you first though.02:47
Hobbsee:)02:47
Hobbseebesides, i'm almost always here02:49
Hobbseeat least, 'here' on irc.02:49
Hobbseejust not necessarily here on the computer02:49
bazhangsmallfoot03:34
Hobbseedarn, missed the meeting03:36
bazhangsame here :(03:36
Flannelbazhang: The term you were looking for is false dichotomy03:42
bazhangFlannel, thanks03:43
FlannelCaptainMorgan: How can we help you?04:18
CaptainMorganI need an op or admin to converse with over a subject I'd rather keep quiet please let me know who can I pm04:19
CaptainMorganFlannel, may we talk via pm ?04:19
FlannelCaptainMorgan: Sure04:19
CaptainMorganthank you for your time04:24
FlannelJoin spam possibly from cEmx in #ubuntu04:25
Flannel(was what he was talking about)  anyone have a dispensble method of testing?  If not, I'll fire up another irssi04:25
FlannelWell, I can't get it to work.  Maybe Im doing it wrong04:42
Flannelalso couldn't get mibbit to work.  is one of the flootbots broken?04:44
PriceChildFlannel: if its onjoin spam, often a quick /cycle in that channel will trigger a PM.07:28
FlannelPriceChild: Oh, thanks.  Never knew about /cycle07:29
PriceChildOf course just because it doesn't trigger their script and send a PM, don't assume that's proof they're not spamming.07:32
FlannelRight.  I just fired up another irssi instance (after trying mibbit unsucessfully).  Haven't gotten any other complaints though07:33
wols!ops XOKADO is spamming in #ubuntu08:09
ubottuIn #ubuntu-ops, wols said: !ops XOKADO is spamming in #ubuntu08:09
Flanneltaken care of08:12
bazhangmoo_cow, how may we assist you09:14
Flannelbazhang: ban forward from #ubuntu, not sure moo_cow is actually here.09:15
bazhangthis is a bot then?09:15
FlannelNo, just has a join for #ubuntu, which forwards here09:15
bazhangodd; there is also a moocow currently in #ubuntu09:16
Flannelright, different person09:16
dmseghello, there is too much join part messages in #ubuntu10:11
dmsegthankyou all for your help10:13

elkbuntubazhang, he's not worth it10:28
bazhangelkbuntu, certainly not; just an odd message.10:29

bazhangnoob-africa trolling11:27
ubottuSlart called the ops in #ubuntu (internets)13:03
jpdsResolved13:03
elkbuntuthe internets were trolling and/or spamming us? who'd have thunk.13:56
jussi01hehe13:58
jussi01we all know about the marking facility offered by ubottu?13:59
stdinI did mention it a while ago now, but I don't think anyone has used it13:59
jussi01stdin: we need  to publicise it some more id think14:00
stdinI guess I/you could send an email to the list14:00
jussi01stdin: I had an idea for another plugin also14:00
stdindon't leave me in suspense ;)14:02
jpdsstdin: Could you push ubottu's lastest source to LP?14:03
stdinit should already be there14:03
jussi01stdin: it would be nice to have 2 things - a @bansearch <mask> and @banlog <nick> <channel> (which returns the last 4 lines said by the banned nick in said channel)14:03
stdinbut I've neglected it recently14:03
jpdsstdin: It's 7 weeks old...14:04
stdinjpds: I haven't done much with it in the last 7 weeks, but I'll make sure it's up to date today14:06
jpdsstdin: Cheers.14:06
jussi01stdin: so what do you think - doable? useful even?14:06
stdinjussi01: I guess it's possible to integrate them into the bantracker plugin, with some work14:07
jussi01stdin: reason Im thinking of that, is that people hate logging into bantracker - if we can do it here, its some much easier/likely to be done14:08

jpds...but not him again.16:32
jussi01fun stuff...16:32
Jack_SparrowWe got rid of him last time when I called his IP and found he worked there16:34
jussi01Jack_Sparrow: really???16:35
Jack_SparrowYep16:35
Jack_SparrowHe was using unassigned ip's from his own office16:35
jussi01well that was kinda stupid...16:36
jpdswhy the hell did he get a job there in the first place?!16:37
Jack_SparrowI had a talk with him in PM..  Hopefully I got through to him at some level16:39
naliothJack_Sparrow: an email to abuse@ or a call to talk to the boss should be done for this person16:41
Jack_SparrowI did talk to the boss last time16:42
naliothright now it's not a problem for their business, but what will happen when this idiot irritates a brazilian botnet, and it gets turned on to the business?16:42
Jack_SparrowI think he was dismissed16:42
naliothboss doesn't care?16:42
naliothah16:42
Jack_SparrowHe didnt use his old ip this time..16:43
Jack_SparrowI let the abuser know he was doing a dis-service to people of true faith.16:43

tritiumFlannel: you're more patient than I.21:53
Flanneltritium: As this goes on (and from last night) I'm beginning to question the legitimacy of this topic21:54
tritiumMooCow was in there yesterday as Michael_, and repeatedly offtopic, and completely ignored all !paste notices.21:54
tritiumOK, you remember him as well.21:54
FlannelYeah21:55
FlannelMichael, and then moved to MooCow, with this same infobot/startup thing21:55
tritiumYep.21:55
Flanneltritium: I believe with this pastebin, we're going to find out that theres a capitalization issue21:58
tritiumPerhaps.21:58
Flannelsince I think he's retyping everything instead of c/o21:58
tritiumI'm sort of not paying attention.21:58
FlannelI stopped last night, since I was going to break out the banhammer for idiocracy21:59
