Seeker`what si the policy wrt advertising channels?00:42
* Seeker` prods topyli 00:44
* topyli feels the prod00:44
* Seeker` points to his question00:44
topylinot sure, but i would say it depends on the relevance of the channel00:45
* Seeker` points to Sir whatever in -ot00:45
topyliif someone advertises a totally random or irrelevant channel, it's not acceptable00:45
topyliSeeker`: thanks, i missed it totally00:47
Seeker`I can do something about it if it is against the rules, I just didn't know if it is or not00:47
topylioh i don't know if there's a rule. there's a consensus that it's not nice00:49
topylipersonally i only have the no-asshat rule and don't really care about anything else00:49
Seeker`fair enough :)00:49
FlannelSeeker`: I'm not sure a ban would be appropriate?01:12
Flannelremove the bot, ask him about it, etc.  ban on sight was sort of odd01:12
Seeker`topyli told him that if he brings his bot in to the channel, both he and the bot would be banned01:12
FlannelAh01:12
FlannelAlright then!01:12
FlannelI feel awkward for what I said.  Wasn't really thinking that he'd be banned as well, heh.01:13
topyliFlannel: let him know it's not cool, and if he does it, remove01:13
Flannelthat is, his host.01:13
Flanneltopyli: I didn't do it, as I have no -ot access.  Blame Seeker`01:13
topylioh i didn't notice, was a way from the channel01:14
topylihe was warned, he can complain if not happy01:15
Seeker`I have removed the ban01:16
topyliSeeker`: aye, that's long enough01:17
LjLone question, three wrong answers01:22
Seeker`mmm?01:23
elkyopping doesnt cut through ignore anymore? :(01:34
Seeker`it used to?01:35
elkyyeah01:35
elkyignore me now, lets test01:35
elkyyou have to let me know01:35
FlannelHow can it if ignore is done on the clientside?01:35
Seeker`do I have to01:36
Flanneloh, ignores on the serverside01:36
Seeker`Flannel can test it01:36
FlannelI dun wanna ignore you!01:36
elkyFlannel, doing /ignore blah@blah.blah is serverside afaik.01:36
Flannelelky: yeah, that's likely.01:36
elkysigh.01:37
FlannelHow do I ignore anyway?01:37
elky/ignore nickname01:39
Flannelwouldn't that be clientside?01:39
elkynot as far as i know.01:39
elkythat's what we're going to test.01:39
FlannelAh01:40
Flannelin irssi /ignore is clientside, /silence is serverside01:40
elkyah01:40
Flannelit also only affects queries and invites, apparently.01:41
FlannelQuoth the /help01:41
ubottuLjL called the ops in #ubuntu (PleXuS)02:06
FlannelLjL: erm, first contact with a person should not be an ops call.02:07
ubottucgkades called the ops in #ubuntu (plexus)02:07
Seeker`g02:31
Seeker`night02:31
elkyFlannel, ljl is not an op anymore. he is a user. users are not expected to clean up.02:50
Flannelelky: Erm, yes they are.02:51
elkyno, users are not expected to clean up after other users.02:51
FlannelJust because you're an op doesn't make you magically have no sway in the way a channel behaves.02:51
FlannelCorrect.  But his first course of action should be to inform person of said spam, or even say "stop" not call the ops.02:52
FlannelFor all he knew, the other guy had no idea what he was doing.02:52
elkyFlannel, one person had already been ignored by plexus. him trying would onluy have been a waste of time02:52
FlannelEr, other person said "?"02:52
FlannelWhich, for all we knew, could've been seen by plexus as a response to a question he (thought he) was asking, or whatever.02:53
FlannelLjL had no business calling ops at that point, should have instead addressed said user.02:53
elkyno, the other person said "<cgkades> PleXuS: what are you doing?" and received '<?xml' in return02:53
FlannelNo, didn't have *any* response02:54
FlannelAnd then ops was called02:54
elkyprecisely. what makes you think a different word was going to get a different response?02:54
FlannelBecause 'what are you doing' doesn't mean "stop doing it"02:54
elkyFlannel, it can, particuarly in circumstances like that.02:55
FlannelIf you want it to, yes.02:55
elkyFlannel, it's like when a mother catches her kid with his hand in the cookie jar.02:55
FlannelBut only if you already know what's going on.02:55
elkyand we could see what was already going on02:56
FlannelLjL shouldn't have called ops so prematurely, that's all there is to it.02:56
FlannelBecause we don't want our users calling ops without first trying to address the issues.02:56
elkyljl called the ops appropriately.02:56
Flanneloperator intervention is not the first step in problem resolution.02:56
elkyand it was not.02:57
FlannelIf you take that stance, you're going to overload your operators.02:57
FlannelYes it was02:57
Flannel18:06 < PleXuS> <?xml02:57
Flannel18:06 < cgkades> PleXuS: what are you doing?02:57
Flannel18:06 < LjL> !ops | PleXuS02:57
Flannel"what are you doing" without a response, and then ops02:57
elkyi see it differently. much differently02:57
elky<cgkades> PleXuS: what are you doing?02:57
elky<PleXuS> <?xml02:57
elky<PleXuS> <?xml02:57
elky<LjL> !ops | PleXuS02:57
elkyyou might want to investigate your lag.02:57
FlannelPerhaps you should investigate yours.02:58
FlannelGeez02:58
FlannelGet off the holier-than-thou attitude.02:58
elkyget off yours.02:58
FlannelAll I was saying is that it might not be *me* lagging.02:59
FlannelBut, whatever.02:59
Madpilotick, I'm connected thru card.freenode.net. Orson Scott Card is such a wingnut, I feel dirty...05:01
FlannelSo, reconnect!05:10
elkyi think he missed the 're' bit.06:39
Flanneldarn those latin roots06:53

phixhey10:03
phixhow's ubuntu coming along? those bugs been fixed yet?10:04
phixyou know t hose bugs that were annoying me so much that I took out my frustration on #ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic then got kicked?\10:09
topyliphix: this channel is for operator/abuse business. we might be able to help with your ban, but not the bugs you cite10:11
topyli@login10:12
ubottuThe operation succeeded.10:12
topyli@btlogin10:12
phixjust explaining my actions so hopefully you drop the ban on  me10:12
phixand I can try and conduct my self in a more civilised manner10:12
topyliyou do have quite a history10:13
phixnot really, just one incident before10:17
topylino10:18
phix2 in total, doesn't equal up to a large history10:18
phix3 if you include #ubuntu-offtopic but that was in the same night10:18
phixI count that as 110:18
phixstill != a history10:19
phixjust isolated incidents10:19
phixI appologised, I would like to move on from that now10:21
topylimight be best to talk to the ops you've been dealing with. come back later and see if they're around then10:21
phixI cant hang out here?10:22
phixyou seem like a nice person to talk to10:22
phixwe can talk within topic, about op polotics and such10:22
ikoniaphix: you know you can't hang out here10:23
topyliwell, this channel is for implementing and dealing with the current policy. if you wish to change the policy, this is a bad arena for it10:23
phixaaww ok10:23
ikoniaphix: people have been through this with you many times10:23
ikoniastop wasting time10:23
phixikonia: hey mate10:23

ikoniaphix: this was covered a day or so ago with you, so please don't play dumb/forgetful with me - you know what you're doing 10:25
phixmy memory span is fair low10:25
phixit is a disability10:26
ikoniaphix: you seem to be able to recall details of your ban count wihtout issue10:26
phixdo you also laugh at ppl in wheel chairs?10:26
ikoniaphix: bye10:26

elkythat aint gonna work10:28

topylii've been thinking about doing something about aprilhare10:32
topylistory of my life, i've been thinking about doing a lot of things10:33

elkys/suddenly be/suddenly be reminded that i'm/10:33
topyli:(10:35
elkytopyli, just verbal smackdowns are nice enough10:36

superboy_yes sir13:17
jussi01superboy_: please part this channel now13:19
Seeker`The ban on phix in #ubuntu can be removed by anyone after elky has removed the ban on him in -ot, as far as I am concerned13:24
elkywe have enough time wasters in a day without adding him back to the mix13:25
Seeker`I'm not saying he should be unbanned13:28
Seeker`but its your ban in -ot and my ban in #u as far as I can work out; My point is that I don't have any problems with him going back to #u at any point after you have decided to remove the ban from -ot13:29
elkyah ok13:34
ubottuIn ubottu, tricky3849 said: Yes, ALSA is currently selected but I also tried OSS and PulseAudio13:37
Seeker`lo15:21
Garydamnit, why are MS keyboards so much better than the others?15:22
GaryI needed a new keyboard and the only one I liked was a MS wireless thingy, logitech was the only other decent make and they sucked15:23
LjLthis "montel" fellow was weird yesterday too iirc.15:23
topylinothing wrong with that. let them make their excellent mice and keyboards. it's god to know that the company has a future15:23
Garyand why did I just say that here and not /15 #ubuntu-uk15:24
Seeker`LjL: Wasn't he botspamming or someting?15:28
LjLelky, Flannel: for the record, if it's not appropriate to call !ops when someone spams the channel very badly, for quite some time, and no op intervenes with a mute, then i don't know *what* !ops is appropriate for. and if that's "overloading the ops", oh damn, too bad, why didn't i think of that.15:28
LjLSeeker`: don't remember15:28
LjLanyway, i can see that ops don't have time to actually check the channel, when they're so awfully busy discussing what an appropriate !ops call is, whether 4chan is an acceptable topic in -offtopic, and whether one should have a 2-hours discussion with someone who was already banned half a dozen times, and things like that15:29
elkytopyli, oh gawd they didnt...15:37
topylielky: hmm?15:38
elkytopyli, aprilhare and ikanobori15:38
topyliwell15:39
topylithey did something alright15:39
elkyyes, and i'm contemplating the chances of me nuking aprilhare's suburb and getting away with it...15:40
LjLand i'm contemplating nuking #ubuntu15:40
elkyi have no idea and no desire to know where ikanobori lives.15:40
LjLwhat the hell does "it's wort a crack" mean if you're giving them a command that has nothing at all to do with the issue15:40
LjLelky: dutchland15:40
elkyLjL, actionparsnip again?15:40
LjLelky: yeah, although he's only the last in a series15:41
LjL!fixapt15:41
ubottuIf an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »15:41
elkyLjL, aww, the risk to seveas would be too great.15:41
LjLwould you give someone this, if a postinst script were failing? no, because it won't do anything about it15:41
topylielky: hey, aprilhare might live close to some perfectly nice people. use an axe instead ;)15:41
elkytopyli, well. if i was to nuke aprilhare, i'd nuke myself too since i'm pretty sure a nuke would dirty the whole of sydney on a bad day.15:42
LjLhey don't nuke my sibling! :(15:43
LjLwait...15:43
LjLuhm, perhaps do nuke.15:43
elkyhehe15:43
elkyLjL, ikonia and i had to rip actionparsnip last night.15:44
LjLrip apart and replace brain?15:44
LjLif so, then the new brain is malfunctioning too15:44
elkythe body rejected the new brain.15:45
LjLoic :(15:45
LjLi mean... on the one hand, i don't really know how to solve this fellow's issue, either. so if someone has something to try, i guess "try it"15:46
LjLbut when it comes to trying really completely unrelated things, it's just like voodoo, not support15:46
LjLelky: by the way, if you ever want to learn italian or know someone who does, sister's giving people lessons :P15:59

Garytopyli:  CKICK      quote chanserv op $C; wait 500; quote remove $C $0 :$1-; quote chanserv op $C -$N16:12
Garythe waits can be shorter if you have less lag16:12
Seeker`topyli: auto_bleh helps16:12
topyliSeeker`: that's what i'm learning :)16:12
Seeker`I blieve /ar is autoremove16:13
topyliGary: my router crashing might have contributed to the lag16:13
topyliSeeker`: yes, but i've learned "k" from chanserv.py and need to unlearn16:13
Seeker`ah16:13
Garyhaving 80 odd channels is the cause of my lag, and hence why I have the wait at 50016:13
jussi01topyli: just go modify auto_bleh's source - it is open source after all :P16:15
topylijussi01: ooh! :)16:16
Garyummm sauce16:16
Garyneed food :'(16:16
topyliactually i consider it a chanserv.py bug. it does things for the user that shouldn't be auto-done16:17
topylithen again, i'm usually a fan of all sorts of automation and such, so i don't know16:17
topyliSeeker`: so, uh, how to ban a nick only? :)16:20
Seeker`may require some modification of the script16:21
Seeker`alternatively , /mode #ubuntu-offtopic +b nick!*@*16:21
topylioh of course16:21
LjLmeh, you people can do one or two things manually, surely :P16:21
topyliLjL: technology has left me helpless!16:22
LjLin one channel there's someone who does *all* op actions in a completely manual way (type the entire hostname in a ban), because "if i'm banning them, at least they deserve me wasting the time to type it out" :P16:22
Seeker`heh16:22
LjL... doesn't work very well with fast spammers.16:23
Seeker`no, I can imagine16:23
LjLbut i do think he has half a point16:23
GaryLjL: I used to do that, for the same reasons16:24
Garyuse scripts for spammers though16:24
LjLGary: then tell him to do the same :P16:24
Seeker`pr0nstradamus: how can we help you?16:29

LjLpr0nstradamus: have you been told to avoid using that nickname?16:30
pr0nstradamusIndeed, but Its my nickname.16:30
pr0nstradamusI don't complain about yours.16:30
LjLpr0nstradamus: " Recommendations from channel operators, including those stored in the channel bots, should be followed. "16:30

topylii've had an issue with it all the time, and i have requested many times that you change it to something non-offensive16:32
pr0nstradamusTheres nothing offensive about it.16:32
topylionly the nick is banned, not your ident or ip16:33
bazhangsure there is.16:33
pr0nstradamusI realize that16:33
elkypr0nstradamus, please explain how your nickname is not in conflict with the desire to avoid a sexualised environment, as published in the rules under 'please avoid sexuality'.16:33
pr0nstradamusDo I speak of sex in your channels?16:33
Seeker`topyli: so to make this clear, it is only the nickname that is banned, not the user, and he is free to rejoin with a different nickname16:33
pr0nstradamusno.16:33
topyliSeeker`: exactly16:33
elkypr0nstradamus, your nickname does every time you speak.16:33
pr0nstradamusLies.16:33
pr0nstradamusyour urban dictionary and your mind give it meaning, nothing more.16:34
Seeker`you could say the same about any word16:34
topylipr0nstradamus: this issue is not something we can argue16:34

topyliin pm now, 18:47 <~pr0nstradamus> so you know, now that I think of it, which is really hard to do this morning, pr0n does refer to pictures of industrial hardware16:51
topyli18:48 <~pr0nstradamus> so theres your not sexual meaning16:51
LjL...16:51
topyliright16:51
LjLif only we knew what this "topyli" word meant in his silly language, i'm sure we'd have permbanned him long ago :(16:51
topylihehe16:53
topyliit's a diminutive form of "topi", which is what my friends used to call me, some still do. in effect it's something like "little toby"16:54
LjLso finnish nicknames are like american nicknames - have nothing to do with the real name? :P16:55
topylithey are usually derived from your real name, but not always (as you can see)16:57
elkytopyli, toby being a character from a book?16:57
topylimore like Topi Sorsakoski, a famous schlager singer and famous drunkard :)16:58
elkyah, so you're named for the latter part?16:58
jussi01My name is actually a shortening of a longer name...16:58
topyliin the ancient times, my original nick was toby_dick, but some people failed to miss the literary reference and also the zeppelin reference (i am after all a drummer)16:58
LjLtopyli's better anyway16:59
topyliso some they thought it offensive and i changed16:59
LjLtopyli: see, such innocent nicknames turned evil by silly ops :(16:59
topylihehehe16:59
topylii simply changed it at first request though :)17:00

LjLi'd drink some english beer to underline the irony but i feel more like guinness21:01
DraconicusI have a small suggestion for the #ubuntu channel's management, and is apparently the place to present it... What if you split the channel up with freenode managing an automatic redirect based on a user cap? Like #ubuntu1 #ubuntu2 and #ubuntu3 - you already have an overflow channel, but #ubuntu remains massively overpopulated and very difficult to work in. There are plenty of assistants to go around these days, so it's not as 21:03
Draconicusthough help would be spread thin.21:03
Seeker`it means more channels to watch21:04
LjLthis ain't AOL :(21:04
Seeker`and it means that all the helpers may get directed to #ubuntu1, and all of the really new users to #ubuntu221:04
AmaranthDraconicus: More channels for us to watch and less people helping in each channel21:07
DraconicusYou need more ops then, methinks. :P21:08
AmaranthDraconicus: We've discussed doing that for years, ends up the same way21:08
DraconicusI figured as much...21:08
DraconicusI do see problems with this. If it was official support by dedicated operators it could be a different story.21:09
Seeker`"officailly supported"?21:09
Seeker`in what way?21:09
Amarantha lot of the ops don't do much support in #ubuntu21:10
DraconicusI didn't say "supported"21:10
DraconicusI know they don't. I was saying that if it was something it could never be, the idea might work.21:10
DraconicusIf the ops were the helpers, and so on. There's no way to handle that.21:10
DraconicusFunneling it all into one channel creates such chaos... I don't even go to #ubuntu anymore because of the growing nightmare it's been ever since dapper.21:11
DraconicusAh well.21:12
DraconicusThanks for your interest I gues.21:12
Draconicusguess*21:12
DraconicusTake care.21:12
