| tsimpson | we don't handle #ubuntuforums, though several ops here are also ops in there | 00:27 |

| Amaranth | What's the CC recommendation for the channel management that "is being ignored by the IRC Council"? | 01:03 |
| bazhang | the lgbt discussion | 01:03 |
| Amaranth | eh? | 01:04 |
| Amaranth | Was the a person saying they were banned for being a lesbian? | 01:05 |
| bazhang | from a mailing list dispute back in January iirc | 01:05 |
| Amaranth | Wish I could find the details somewhere | 01:09 |
| Amaranth | oh, a blanket ban on discussion of sexuality | 01:09 |
| bazhang | stemming from #ubuntu-offtopic according to the meeting of yesterday | 01:09 |
| Amaranth | I guess that's a bit like the US military don't ask, don't tell policy | 01:10 |
| elky | considering the last communication from that saga was from an ubuntu ircc rep, then i'm not sure it's the ircc that's ignoring it. | 01:12 |
| ubottu | chuck_ called the ops in #ubuntu () | 01:16 |
| Pricey | Yay for exempts. | 01:17 |
| Seeker` | I really need to rewrite mootbot | 01:17 |
| Seeker` | but I dont have the time / wrists to do so | 01:17 |
| Pricey | We should ask LjL to make floodbots remove mibbit exempts instead of applying mutes in situations like that. | 01:18 |
| Seeker` | anyone fancy writing mootbot for a different bot system? | 01:19 |
| ubottu | In #ubuntu-offtopic, magnetron said: !king is <reply> kong | 02:00 |

| tonyyarusso | Um, did anyone ever figure out what Keybuk's complaint was earlier? I'm rather confused by this log. | 10:09 |
| Pici | tonyyarusso: From -meeting? | 10:10 |
| tonyyarusso | Pici: yes | 10:10 |
| Pici | tonyyarusso: There was a discussion on the -ircc list regarding the language of the o4o factoid and our channel policies. It seems that some people thought that we were banning any mention of a person's sexuality in the channel. | 10:11 |
| tonyyarusso | I'm aware - I exchanged a few e-mails on the subject. | 10:11 |
| Pici | We changed the factoid and modified the channel policies, but didn't exactly follow up with the CC to say that we had done so. There was a bit of confusion as to whether we had changed or not. | 10:12 |
| Pici | We replied to the CC and have not heard a reply yet. | 10:13 |
| Pici | or... actually Mark just replied a moment ago.... | 10:13 |
| Myrtti | what log, I'm looking at some logs but I can't find anything... | 10:13 |
| jpds | Myrtti: Yesterdays -meeting log. | 10:13 |
| Myrtti | DOH | 10:14 |
| Pici | Gotta catch up something though | 10:14 |
| * Myrtti is looking at 05/02 | 10:14 | |
| Myrtti | doh | 10:14 |
| tonyyarusso | !o4o | For my reference | 10:14 |
| ubottu | For my reference: Some things are inappropriate for #ubuntu-ops. Some topics are controversial and often end in fighting. War, race, religion, politics, gender, sexuality, drugs, potentially illegal activities and suicide regularly upset people. Please be aware and drop a discussion if you are asked. Support for Microsoft in ##windows and Apple in ##apple. To discuss these rules, please see !appeals. Please always adhere to Freenode Policy. | 10:14 |
| tonyyarusso | Seems like a fairly minor change, all right... | 10:14 |
| tonyyarusso | Pici: So basically the factoid was just changed to reflect how we've actually been enforcing it this whole time? | 10:15 |
| elky | tonyyarusso, yes. | 10:16 |
| elky | tonyyarusso, now mark wants to change it again, but it's going to be too long | 10:16 |
| tonyyarusso | Although I was rather annoyed at the apparent assertion that "sexuality is an inappropriate topic of discussion" equated to "OMGZ teh IRC ops are homophobes!"... | 10:16 |
| Pici | elky: I think with a few edits his suggestion may work. o4o is pretty long as it is. | 10:17 |
| elky | Pici, o4o is full to the brim as it is. you cant set it in PM it's so long. | 10:18 |
| Pici | hrm | 10:18 |
| elky | precisely. | 10:18 |
| elky | also, any longer and nobody will ever read it | 10:19 |
| elky | and some clients will cut it off | 10:19 |
| Myrtti | gah | 10:19 |
| Myrtti | that log makes me scream | 10:19 |
| elky | Pici, i can also see absolute hell ahead for implementing what he's said, too | 10:21 |
| elky | Pici, it's going to be effectively unenforcable. | 10:22 |
| elky | Pici, it's simply not going to 'translate' to -ot, no matter how much he wants it to | 10:23 |
| Myrtti | lets just shut the whole channel down | 10:23 |
| Myrtti | that'll do it | 10:23 |
| Myrtti | we've had more problems with heterosexuals than lgbt people. Point of reference: locke | 10:24 |
| Myrtti | mating rituals and whistle calls can be done elsewhere than -ot | 10:25 |

| shadeslayer | thanks | 11:27 |
| Pici | !no video is <alias> codecs | 11:28 |
| ubottu | You are editing an alias. Please repeat the edit command within the next 10 seconds to confirm | 11:28 |

| topyli | dooo eeeet | 11:29 |
| Pici | fixed | 11:29 |
| bazhang | phew :) | 11:30 |
| Pici | video was <alias> multimedia, so I fixed that and aliased them both to codecs | 11:30 |
| bazhang | Bacta, how may we help you | 11:38 |
| Bacta | I'm trying to find out when my ban expires | 11:38 |
| bazhang | no expiry date that I am aware of | 11:39 |
| Bacta | Can you give it an expiry date? :) | 11:39 |
| bazhang | No. | 11:39 |
| Bacta | So should I treat it as indefinite? | 11:39 |
| elky | Bacta, have you some way of proving that you're no longer going to behave like you have in the past? | 11:42 |
| * Bacta checks wallet | 11:43 | |
| Bacta | No but I can give you my word | 11:43 |
| elky | Bacta, i dont trust your word. | 11:43 |
| Bacta | Well ok, if it happens again I won't be back in here asking for it to be removed | 11:43 |
| elky | that's what you said last time. | 11:44 |
| Bacta | I don't recall saying that | 11:44 |
| Bacta | Why would I spend so much time in here if I was just going to go back in there and blow it? | 11:44 |
| elky | Bacta, because "trollin's [your] game" | 11:45 |
| Bacta | I stopped saying that a good 6 months a go, ask any Freenode staffer | 11:45 |
| elky | Bacta, i can look at my logs and see you proclaiming to be 'trying to troll' | 11:45 |
| elky | so while you've stopped saying it, it is clearly still your game. | 11:46 |
| Bacta | You can grep for them and you'll find they're from 6 months ago | 11:46 |
| Bacta | "clearly", how? | 11:46 |
| Bacta | If I was a troll I would've been klined a long time ago | 11:46 |
| elky | Bacta, no, your current ban stems from "i'm trying to troll here" as well as the stupid release name. | 11:46 |
| elky | Bacta, you have been klined. klines are not permanent. | 11:46 |
| Bacta | Yeah it was a dumb thing to say | 11:47 |
| Bacta | I have? I certainly wasn't aware of that happening | 11:47 |
| Pici | Bacta: Your behavior alone in our channels is what is important here, not whether klines (which are not under our control) happened or not. | 11:53 |
| Bacta | My apologies, I was klined in September 07 | 11:54 |
| Pici | Bacta: Regardless of that, your past and more recent actions in our channels have shown that you have not changed and we have no reason to believe that you will in the future. For those reasons your ban will not be lifted. | 11:57 |
| Bacta | Pici, is the ban indefinite? | 11:58 |
| Bacta | That's all I really want to know at this point | 11:58 |
| Pici | Yes. | 11:59 |
| Bacta | Ok thank you | 11:59 |
| elky | it's indefinate unless change can be demonstrated. | 11:59 |
| elky | it has not been so far. | 11:59 |
| Bacta | Well it's a bit difficult to demonstrate "change" elky but if you do want to present me with that opportunity you know where to find me | 11:59 |
| elky | i'm in #defocus. he's perfectly able to demonstrate behaviour there. | 12:00 |
| bazhang | contributing on ubuntuforums would show some change | 12:00 |
| bazhang | likewise helping answer questions on launchpad | 12:01 |
| Pici | or #xubuntu, hes not banned from there (yet) | 12:01 |

| stew | fwiw, zhxk has been 100% well behaved in #debian since being banned in #ubuntu | 13:25 |
| ikonia | stew: thanks, he's not in other channels, kept trying to ban dodge in #ubuntu and other channels | 13:26 |
| ikonia | stew: if you feel strongly about it i'll remove the ban, I'm only going from what I've seen | 13:26 |
| stew | i don't | 13:27 |
| Pici | ikonia: Does he know he was dodging the ban? | 13:27 |
| ikonia | yes | 13:27 |
| ikonia | explained multiple times | 13:27 |
| Pici | What about the original reason for the ban? | 13:27 |
| ikonia | not seen him do it for a while, but that said he's not been able to get into channels I'm in - so I'm just taking stews word on that | 13:28 |
| ikonia | hence why if stew / other feels pretty confident/strong about it, I'll remove it, I'm only going on what i've seen | 13:29 |
| Pici | ikonia: I mean did you discuss with him the reason for the original ban? | 13:30 |
| ikonia | ooh yes, many times | 13:30 |
| stew | there were MAJOR language problems. I honestly think that the spamming he was doing was meant to be funny on his part. he DID a lot of ban dodging, I don't think he thought it was as serious as we do, until I talked to him about it | 13:30 |
| stew | that being said. he actually doesn't end up getting good help in #debian, mostly becuase of the huge language barier | 13:31 |
| Pici | What is his native language? | 13:31 |
| ikonia | %100 agree on initially the language barrier being a problem | 13:31 |
| stew | probably either mandarin or cantonese | 13:31 |
| ikonia | the ban dodging I disagree on as he %101 new what he was doing and still did it after he was asked, then told to stop | 13:31 |
| stew | he definately knew he was ban dodging | 13:32 |
| ikonia | and he knew it was wrong, after being asked and then told to stop | 13:32 |
| ikonia | he did it multiple channels not just ubuntu | 13:32 |
| Pici | Okay | 13:32 |
| Pici | It has been a month already, we shouldn't be applying indefinite bans on people with just one issue (not counting the ban evasion). | 13:33 |
| ikonia | I agree on that | 13:33 |
| ikonia | however I was counting the ban evasion as futher issues and one that he still trys to do | 13:34 |
| ikonia | I wasn't putting indenfinate on, just until he stopped trying to get around bans | 13:34 |
| ikonia | as I said, if someone has confidence I'm happy to remove it | 13:34 |
| ikonia | I can only go on what I've seen - which may not be the whole story | 13:35 |
| Pici | Why don't we try removing it. If it becomes a problem again, we can always re-ban. | 13:35 |
| ikonia | if thats what you'd like, no problem | 13:36 |
| ikonia | done | 13:37 |
| stew | he's gone now, but I've had him on /hilight, i'll certainly help keep an eye on him | 13:38 |
| Pici | cool beans, thanks | 13:38 |
