| elky | can someone deal with scott__ in #ubuntu please | 01:01 |
|---|---|---|
| Pici | elky: I asked him to join #ubuntu-irc, since hes talking about -au I think. | 01:01 |
| elky | yeah. he's being abusive and swearing and harrassing a user who doesn't personally use ubuntu anymore but still hangs and discusses | 01:02 |
| elky | sec, i'll pastebin some context for you | 01:04 |
| elky | http://paste.ubuntu.com/347335/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/347336/ | 01:07 |
| elky | (parents dragging me off to visit relatives soon) | 01:10 |
| Pici | elky: Thanks | 01:12 |
| mneptok | what a charming fellow. | 01:12 |
| elky | yeah. | 01:13 |
| Pici | Hes in pm now... | 01:13 |
| elky | he's now announcing to the non-offtopic au channel that i'm abusing powers... which is clearly evidenced by his ability to talk smack about me there. | 01:13 |
| mneptok | i will e-mail Mark Shuttleworth about him. | 01:13 |
| Pici | Thats what hes telling me too | 01:13 |
| bittwist | Hi there, bazhang had me remove a bot that was doing a bit of preemptive moderation for the malicious peers freenode has been dealing with | 03:16 |
| bazhang | bittwist, wirebot is still in channel | 03:16 |
| bittwist | i already said one was a ghost | 03:17 |
| bittwist | since ubuntu is a large channel its given me a great oppurtunity to detect and ban malicious peers before they reach a few channels of smaller size | 03:17 |
| bittwist | since its a bot that is clearly denoted, and has no public commands, i'd like it to lurk around and monitor | 03:18 |
| bazhang | * [WireBot] (n=a@unaffiliated/bittwist/bot/wirebot): _ | 03:18 |
| bittwist | do i need to go over there and ghost it to make you happy? i dont even recall the nick off the top of my head | 03:18 |
| bittwist | there we go | 03:19 |
| bittwist | anywho, its done a brilliant job so far at getting malicious peers before they can reach the channel | 03:21 |
| bittwist | the ones targetting the network at least | 03:21 |
| bittwist | it would be a shame to not allow it because i was kind enough to clearly denote what it was | 03:22 |
| bittwist | this is just a simple script that i could load into my client and use | 03:22 |
| bazhang | Pici, you around? thoughts on this? | 03:23 |
| bittwist | its only purpose is intel to better moderate, really would be a shame to lose the first spot the peers join to harass | 03:25 |
| bittwist | also, if you really do want to exclude the peers who go through the process for getting a bot cloak here on freenode, you should have the | 03:27 |
| bittwist | *!*@unaffiliated/*/bot/* | 03:27 |
| bittwist | ban mask set | 03:28 |
| bittwist | it'll block all the legit bot cloaks freenode has given out :p | 03:28 |
| bazhang | bittwist, thanks for removing the bots; will need to consult with other operators on allowing them back in; as none seem to be around right now, please rejoin later. | 03:49 |
| bittwist | aw, you can unilaterally ask to remove bots but not temp ok? :P | 03:51 |
| bittwist | yea no problemo, i'll try to remember | 03:51 |
| bittwist | if you would like to investigate the output of it all, feel free to join ##Politics-Spam | 03:52 |
| bittwist | when something gets triggered, a notice goes there | 03:52 |
| bittwist | and if its ban worthy, its applied in the main channel | 03:52 |
| bittwist | cya | 03:52 |
| bazhang | terrorink refusing to respond via PM, now ban evading | 04:10 |
| MenZa | morning, bazhang | 04:58 |
| bazhang | MenZa, hi | 06:00 |
| bazhang | drmanhattan? thought he was unbanned | 06:03 |
| MenZa | I thought he was too | 06:07 |
| bazhang | whoa terrorink sussed out my email | 06:08 |
| MenZa | ? | 06:11 |
| bazhang | threats no less | 06:13 |
| bazhang | [terrorink] (n=terror@bas1-london14-1167853155.dsl.bell.ca one of at least five | 06:14 |
| MenZa | hmm | 06:19 |
| bittwist | bazhang: still around? | 07:13 |
| mneptok | bittwist: bots /join-ing #ubuntu* channels without prior consultation with the ops team or the IRCC are not welcome. | 07:39 |
| mneptok | bittwist: if you think the bot has functionality the channels need, then start a discussion about it on one of the relevant mailing lists. | 07:39 |
| Mamarok | but his bot is still here | 07:44 |
| bt42 | where in #ubuntu is it | 07:45 |
| bt42 | kinda hard for it to be there when it is not | 07:46 |
| Mamarok | bt42: did you read what mneptok told you earlier? ^^ | 07:46 |
| bt42 | yes, but your comment stood out more, since the bot is not in the channel | 07:46 |
| bt42 | mneptok: the functionality would be what i told to bazhang earlier | 07:47 |
| mneptok | bt42: please e-mail the list with the idea | 07:47 |
| bt42 | mneptok: not entirely worthy of starting a thread on a website or email list when this is all occuring on irc | 07:47 |
| bt42 | #ubuntu is one of the first channels the malicious have been joining due to size | 07:48 |
| mneptok | bt42: if you don't want to follow the standard procedure for such things, you may then assume the bot is unwelcome, and will remain so. | 07:48 |
| bt42 | the ability to ban them before they get to mine is rather nice | 07:48 |
| bt42 | i was told to come here to ask | 07:48 |
| mneptok | bt42: and the answer is "you should bring it up on the list" | 07:49 |
| bt42 | i dont know of any mailing lists | 07:49 |
| bt42 | i only came to ubuntu since it was a source of the problems that were occuring in a channel i help moderate | 07:49 |
| mneptok | the channel is not the source of the problem. specific users are. | 07:50 |
| mneptok | https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-irc | 07:50 |
| bt42 | Mamarok: so i take it you have not found it in the channel | 07:55 |
| Mamarok | bt42: nvm | 07:55 |
| bt42 | mneptok: does the archive get automatically updated or do i have to subscribe for checking responses in a prompt fashion? | 07:56 |
| mneptok | bt42: if you are not subscribed your e-mail is sitting and awaiting moderation | 07:58 |
| bt42 | no i'm seeing what kind of bureaucracy there is :P | 07:59 |
| mneptok | hmmm? | 08:00 |
| mneptok | "bureaucracy?" | 08:00 |
| mneptok | most e-mail lists do not allow unmoderator posts from non-subscribers. | 08:01 |
| mneptok | s/or/ed/ | 08:01 |
| mneptok | BTW, a "peer" on IRC is a server, not a client. :) | 08:03 |
| bt42 | good for it | 08:03 |
| mneptok | so if i understand correctly, the sole purpose of this bot is to look for malicious activity in #ubuntu, and then place bans in your channel based on that? | 08:05 |
| bt42 | since if ircops are not scrubbing furiously, they arrive there minutes later | 08:06 |
| bt42 | yes | 08:06 |
| mneptok | then my guess is that the bot will remain unwelcome. | 08:07 |
| mneptok | there are hundreds (if not thousands) of channels on Freenode. what would #ubuntu look like if *every* other channel wanted to do the same thing you want to do? | 08:08 |
| mneptok | personally, i'd be against the idea. but that's me. the list will sort it out. | 08:08 |
| bt42 | really i do not get the difference between having this script on a personal client and a unique one | 08:10 |
| bt42 | its a client, it supports scripted events, a lot of people in ubuntu are using them right now to better their irc experience | 08:11 |
| bt42 | since i was nice enough to group this on their own client, and put in for a bot cloak to staff, i get isolated for what others do without notice | 08:11 |
| bt42 | anyways, i've typed this all out before | 08:13 |
| ubottu | APERSON called the ops in #ubuntu () | 08:58 |
| mneptok | FYI, the "DrManhattan" nick is used by 2 different people. one has regg'ed the nick and is banned from a Charter cable IP in California. the other is active in #u now from a Comcast IP in Maryland. | 09:16 |
| bazhang | thanks for the info | 09:16 |
| mneptok | and the current person s also off-topic and unhelpful | 09:16 |
| mneptok | the nick seems to attract the "wrong sort" | 09:16 |
| mneptok | :/ | 09:17 |
| mneptok | OK, bedtime for me. | 09:17 |
| mneptok | nighty! | 09:17 |
| * Gary tucks in mneptok | 09:58 | |
| Mamarok | FYI: I will be away next week, don't know yet if I will have net access | 10:15 |
| bazhang | team trolling in -ot | 10:50 |
| Myrtti | could a factoid master check !clone | 17:20 |
| Myrtti | in addition of it suggesting a solution that doesn't seem to work anymore (atleast for me), it has characters that aren't uniquely interpreted as they should as reported by saica on #ubuntu just now | 17:20 |
| ubottu | guntbert called the ops in #ubuntu (poot is back) | 19:15 |
| Myrtti | looking at it | 19:15 |
| Myrtti | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/f1889a960 | 19:43 |
| jussi01 | Myrtti: do you think you could work the script to pull dates also? | 20:59 |
| Myrtti | jussi01: no. | 21:02 |
| jussi01 | ok :) | 21:02 |
| ubottu | In #ubuntu, Lokin said: ubottu: This is all one box. | 22:20 |
| elky | Pici, that scott fellow is back. just a heads up in case it spills to #u again | 22:59 |
