bazhangremoved04:02
manzurhello my name is abraham, and i was banned from ubuntu, so please let me get in again05:31
Flannelmanzur: What were you banned for?05:32
manzurFlannel, i can log in #ubuntu, because i missbehave, now i feel sorry about it and i know how to behave, so please let me in05:33
Flannelmanzur: Do you know what #ubuntu is for?05:34
manzurFlannel, of course, now i do05:35
Flannelmanzur: And what's that?05:35
FlannelIf you don't know, that's fine.  I'll tell you.  I just want to make sure we're all on the same page so we don't have any more misunderstandings05:36
manzurFlannel, of course i know, i want ubuntu to be better, it was just that i posted my idea in brainstorm in here to make it notice, but now i know i can't do that, so please i want to make you know that now we are in the same page05:37
Flannelmanzur: Alright, let me put it this way:  What is the topic of #ubuntu?  (as far as being on topic or off topic is concerned)05:38
manzurFlannel, it is to help people in that use ubuntu05:39
manzurit is to help people05:39
Flannelmanzur: It's for tech support only05:40
Flannelnot discussions, not annoucements, etc (even if they're about Ubuntu), that's what #ubuntu-offtopic is for05:40
manzurso you mean#ubuntu-offtopic is where i can talk and announce about news05:41
manzurand etc05:41
Flannelmanzur: So, when you're looking to discuss flash 64 or whatever, you should do it in #ubuntu-offtopic, yes.05:41
manzurmanzur, ok05:42
manzurFlannel, can i get in now?05:43
Flannelmanzur: One more thing, have you read and understood the IRC guidelines? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines05:43
manzurFlannel, of course i have read them05:43
manzurit reads about respect, no flood, etc, etc, etc05:44
Flannelmanzur: Alright, so we shouldn't have any more to worry about from you, since now you understand what #ubuntu is for, and what #ubuntu-offtopic is.  Good.05:44
manzurFlannel, yes friend05:45
Flannelmanzur: Alright, your bans lifted.  Go ahead and join.05:45
manzurFlannel, thanks05:45
manzurbye05:45
gaintsurawtf, I keep ending up here instead of #ubuntu08:43
Flannelgaintsura: That's because you're being forwarded here.08:44
gaintsuraright, why?08:45
Flannelgaintsura: Because your quit message is rather inappropriate08:45
gaintsura=\08:45
Flannelgaintsura: mind changing it?08:48
gaintsurayeah, sorry, I had to go take care of something08:53
gaintsuraI think that is kind of a stupid restriction =\08:54
Flannelgaintsura: How so?08:55
gaintsurait shouldn't be up to a channel to decide what can and cannot be in one's quit message, if its that big of a problem, disable quit messages08:56
stdinif it would not be appropriate to say it in #ubuntu, don't put it in you'r part/quit message08:56
Flannelgaintsura: Its up to us to decide what sort of atmosphere we would like in a channel, which includes your quit messages when you're in the channel.08:56
stdinand you can not disable the messages channel-wide for all users of the channel08:56
gaintsurayes this is true, and please by all means do so, but don't designate what can and cannot be in a quit message in such a fashion, I think its a bit childish08:57
gaintsuramerely my opinions, been changed08:57
stdinchildish why? you quit, so how could we ask you to change it?08:57
Flannelgaintsura: Our channel guidelines are plainly laid out: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines08:58
gaintsurayes and I know what they are08:58
stdinas I said earlier, if it would not be appropriate to say it in #ubuntu, don't put it in you'r part/quit message, as everyone sees it by default08:59
gaintsuraI mean think about it, you don't duct tape someones mouth shut when you're on the street because they are yappin about something you don't want to hear, you may want to, but its imposing.08:59
stdin1) IRC is not the street, 2) the channel has clear guidelines, which you say you know. 3) the channel is family friendly, if someone was swearing in the street and there are children around, they would be asked to stop09:00
gaintsurawow, I don't know where you live, but anyway, I'm done, its been changed09:01
* stdin lives in a house09:01
gaintsurathats real useful09:01
gaintsura=P09:01
Flannelgaintsura: Being in the Ubuntu channels is a privledge, not a right.  No one is forcing you to join them, especially if you don't agree with what their purpose is.09:02
* gaintsura sighs, its a useless attempt09:03
bazhangnetyire at it again in -ot09:20
bazhanggaintsura, are you about finished here?09:20
gaintsurayeah... I'm still tryin to get in..09:21
gaintsuraI've changed my quit.. still can't get in09:21
bazhangchange your part message gaintsura (did you do that?)09:21
gaintsuramy part message says 'Ex-Chat'09:22
bazhangit said something really nasty before gaintsura 09:22
gaintsurano.. that was my quit, which I fixed09:22
elkbuntubazhang, we'll find out as soon as he leaves here.09:22
gaintsurahere.. watch09:23
bazhanggaintsura, you understand how that message is offensive and inappropriate for #ubuntu channels?09:23
bazhangoops09:23
bazhanggaintsura, you understand how that part message is inappropriate and offensive for #ubuntu channels?09:24
gaintsurawhat part message?09:24
gaintsuraYou have left channel #ubuntu-ops ("Ex-Chat")09:24
gaintsuraI don't see what the problem is now09:24
bazhangthe bad one you had before you changed it09:25
* gaintsura sighs jezus, if this weren't the best place to get ubuntu help I'd have left already, I'm not 1209:25
bazhanggaintsura, you do understand then? is that a yes?09:25
gaintsurayes09:26
bazhanggaintsura, so no more problems from you in that regard?09:26

Flannelelkbuntu: Whats your thoughts on Cann0n in #u?  He's starting to make me feel that he's just causing trouble.10:16
bazhangheh10:29
bazhangI wont read what you link me.10:29
Flannelbut I'10:29
Flannelll google!10:29
bazhanghaha10:29
FlannelI feel bad for nintendork.  Was asking about upgrading to 8.10 earlier, I tried to discourage it, but everyone else egged him on, now he's stuck with KDE410:30
stdinyou say that like it's a bad thing10:31
Flannelstdin: Well, now he's compiling 3.5 from source10:31
Flannelor will be10:31
stdinfwiw, the Kubuntu team is working with the poster of the link ^ up there to make a stable/safe KDE3 repo for KDE 3 in intrepid10:32
FlannelI know, and I mentioned it to him10:32
stdinalthough it's a bit pointless, it's like saying "I like KDE 2, why can't I install it?" IMO10:32
Flannel!jfgi =~ /  / /10:33
ubottuNothing changed there10:33
Flannel!jfgi10:33
ubottuAcronyms or statements like  noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.10:33

ubottujfgi is <alias> noob - added by Seveas on 2006-06-17 23:26:5610:33
FlannelI've gotta do it on the main one?10:33
stdinI'm not sure =~ works on aliases10:33
Flannel!noob =~ /  / /10:33
ubottuI'll remember that Flannel10:33
FlannelI guess not10:34
Flannelthat makes sense10:34
Flannel!jfgi10:34
ubottuAcronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.10:34
stdinbecause the actual value of "jfgi" is "<alias>noob"10:34
Flannelmhmm10:34
elkbuntuyou might want to add 'simply directing someone to google with no extra information is just as useless and rude as jfgi'.10:35
stdinsaying "go google" is directly against the guidelines, no more justification is needed10:35
Flannelyep, "when helping, be helpful"10:36
stdincould also be seen as against the CoC "Be respectful."10:37
elkbuntunah, more courtesy than respect10:39
elkbuntuit's about as useful as saying 'go stare into that corner'10:39
elkbuntugrr... i want to mangle my linode (which hosts my bip proxy) but netyire is being a handful13:27
LjLsay again?13:28
elkbuntuif i mess with my linode, i'll be disconnecting my irc connection. netyire is being a pita, and i wont be able to babysit13:30
