| Flannel | Hi GSF1200S, how can we help you today? | 04:03 |
| GSF1200S | ive been in here once before. I dont have access to the router, so i cant update the firmware. I have /8001 appended to the freenode address, but it still wont grant me access to #ubuntu | 04:04 |
| GSF1200S | you guys helped me before basically by pointing me to the guide i should have read before | 04:04 |
| Flannel | GSF1200S: You need to follow the instructions in #ubuntu-read-topic and have the bots test you to remove the forward | 04:04 |
| GSF1200S | hmm, well it says it cannot test me and asks me if this is my usual username | 04:06 |
| GSF1200S | which it is | 04:06 |
| Flannel | GSF1200S: We've got one bot in there having probems right now. The other one tested you, and has removed the forward. You should now be able to join #ubuntu | 04:06 |
| GSF1200S | and now im in the channel again.. | 04:07 |
| GSF1200S | yeah, ok, was a little confused. thank you | 04:07 |
| Flannel | GSF1200S: No problem. Enjoy your stay in #ubuntu, thank you for flying with us today. | 04:07 |
| GSF1200S | :) | 04:07 |

| Flannel | Howdy aprilhare_, how can we help you today? | 09:06 |
| aprilhare_ | hello flannel | 09:06 |
| topyli | hi aprilhare_ | 09:06 |
| aprilhare_ | hello topyli, you just banned me from #ubuntu-offtopic for banter with a new zealander? | 09:07 |
| topyli | aprilhare_: you don't need a review of the channel conduct i trust | 09:08 |
| aprilhare_ | exactly how is that applicable | 09:09 |
| aprilhare_ | its only banter of a gentle nature. | 09:09 |
| topyli | your sheep references are not appreciated, and your conduct is constantly on the edge, or over it. i can't babysit you, you're an experienced member of -ot | 09:10 |
| aprilhare_ | ? | 09:10 |
| topyli | much better if you stay out for a couple of days now | 09:10 |
| aprilhare_ | topyli: you're exaggerating | 09:10 |
| aprilhare_ | not only that, you don't understand | 09:11 |
| Flannel | aprilhare_: I know you've been told not to in the past, because I have personally told you not to. | 09:11 |
| aprilhare_ | what am I missing | 09:12 |
| aprilhare_ | i think both of you need to be explicit | 09:12 |
| topyli | aprilhare_: you know the limits within which you may stay in the channel. as an old-timer, you should not only stay narrowly within them, but also be an example to new members | 09:13 |
| aprilhare_ | topyli: you're not making any sense to me | 09:13 |
| aprilhare_ | care to go back to first principle and tell me why sheep sounds are cause for a ban? | 09:13 |
| topyli | aprilhare_: please think about it for a day or two, then come back and we can discuss the future | 09:13 |
| aprilhare_ | topyli: why? you'll get the same conversation in a day or two. | 09:14 |
| aprilhare_ | please talk to me | 09:14 |
| aprilhare_ | because this isn't very helpful | 09:14 |
| aprilhare_ | i just can't believe it. you're ignoring me over a communications fault? | 09:16 |
| topyli | aprilhare_: in that case, come back only when the discussion is less likely to be the same | 09:16 |
| aprilhare_ | topyli: i think you're using a big stick to me and it's not necessary | 09:16 |
| aprilhare_ | it's not controversial, it's not offensive, it's harmless. you're making mountains out of nothing (not even a molehill). | 09:18 |
| elky | o.O | 09:18 |
| topyli | aprilhare_: we disagree on that, as you can see | 09:18 |
| aprilhare_ | elky: i made sheep sounds to a new zealander and I get banned! | 09:18 |
| topyli | aprilhare_: no. you do it, and similar things, for month after month without listening to ops when told not to, and you get banned | 09:19 |
| elky | aprilhare_, this is not specifically about this incident, but rather a habit of baiting people. | 09:20 |
| aprilhare_ | elky: i doubt sheep sounds to a new zealander are a big time baiting action - its just harmless banter | 09:21 |
| aprilhare_ | elky: if it was you'd have to turn off all the tv transmitters in sydney | 09:22 |
| elky | it's not harmless banter. it led to someone mentioning beastiality in the channel. | 09:22 |
| elky | actually, more than just mention, graphically so. | 09:22 |
| aprilhare_ | elky: i think he decided to do that off his own bat. i don't make anyone do anything | 09:22 |
| aprilhare_ | i didn't lead him anywhere. | 09:23 |
| topyli | that's not true and you know it | 09:23 |
| aprilhare_ | topyli: i believe it is true | 09:23 |
| elky | aprilhare_, you catalysed it. your baiting set the tone. your baiting is tedious and tiring. | 09:23 |
| aprilhare_ | i tell you what. stomp on me some more. you'll get a real bait reaction then. | 09:24 |
| elky | aprilhare_, accept the consequences and wait out the time. it's not the only channel you use for casual conversation, and you're not going to gain anything by threatening us. | 09:24 |
| aprilhare_ | elky: threatening? i'm pointing out *this* is baiting | 09:25 |
| aprilhare_ | but hey. you're right. ops baiting innocent users because of others bad behaviour is getting tiring | 09:26 |
| topyli | aprilhare_: okay, i'll leave you with my prevous suggestion of thinking about your behavior for a couple of days, or however long it takes, and returning here when a constructive discussion about the future is more likely | 09:26 |
| elky | do i need to quote a dictionary definition of "threaten" | 09:27 |
| aprilhare_ | elky: i said a couple of times, not one :) | 09:29 |
| elky | aprilhare_, your comments are not harmless no matter how hard you try convince yourself. Not only did this particular incident incite inappropriate comments, but sheep references *are* intimidating and exclusionary to some kiwis. | 09:32 |
| aprilhare_ | elky: wow. you actually believe that | 09:32 |
| aprilhare_ | strange people | 09:32 |
| elky | o.O | 09:33 |

| papapepper | please test me manually :-) | 17:01 |
| papapepper | I'm in ircII and a lot of this is new to me | 17:02 |
| papapepper | still learning how to use command line goodies! | 17:02 |
| nalioth | papapepper: may i suggest you . . | 17:02 |
| nalioth | mmmkay | 17:02 |
| topyli | we don't need no stinkin' sugustians! | 17:10 |
| topyli | i wonder where ircII is still in use | 17:10 |
| topyli | oh packaged on ubuntu for example | 17:11 |
| elky | it's the default on dreamhost accounts too iirc, but that clearly was not a dreamhost account. | 17:22 |
| Flannel | Pici: Yes. | 18:30 |
| papapepper | help me please... just want to change port to 8001 in irssi | 18:46 |
| papapepper | i tried irssi --port 8001 | 18:46 |
| Flannel | papapepper: edit ~/.irssi/config | 18:49 |
| papapepper | Flannel: thank you! :-) | 18:55 |
| papapepper | can I do that from tty3 while having chats on tty1 and 2 open without big problems? | 18:55 |
| nalioth | ubottu: tell papapepper about screen | 18:56 |
| ubottu | papapepper, please see my private message | 18:56 |
| * topyli checks what channel he's in | 18:56 | |
| papapepper | there is no config file yet in ~/.irssi/ | 18:56 |
| papapepper | ubottu: I can't see your pm | 19:00 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 19:00 |
| papapepper | ubottu: tell papapepper about screen | 19:00 |
| ubottu | papapepper, please see my private message | 19:00 |
| papapepper | :-( | 19:00 |
| nalioth | papapepper: at the bottom of your screen should be a red letter name of "ubottu" with a number next to it | 19:03 |
| nalioth | papapepper: typing /window [that number] will get you to his PM | 19:03 |
| papapepper | how do I close ubottu's window now? (4) | 19:05 |
| Flannel | /wc | 19:06 |
| nalioth | papapepper: if you're done with him, go back to his window and type /window close | 19:06 |
| Flannel | (window close) | 19:06 |
| papapepper | uh oh | 19:08 |
| papapepper | well, "/connect irc.freenode.com 8001" works fine, except I'm still not allowed to join #ubuntu | 19:17 |
| nalioth | papapepper: no, you'll need to go to #ubuntu-read-topic and get tested | 19:19 |
| papapepper | nalioth: finally! | 19:20 |
| papapepper | thank you so much for everyone's help | 19:20 |
| papapepper | how do I give a reason when I leave a room? | 19:20 |
| nalioth | papapepper: it's not necessary. /window close doesn't take reasons | 19:21 |
| papapepper | is there a /unjoin? | 19:22 |
| papapepper | only on disconnect, right? | 19:22 |
| stefg | we have a spammer chinchiller in #ubuntu | 20:18 |

| ikonia | sorry | 20:25 |
| Pici | np | 20:25 |

| genii | maco: I think too young for some browser-based game but not entirely certain... | 20:35 |
