[01:57] <DrManhattan> damn, you guys sure do hold a grudge - ya can't take off my ban even for Christmas? For the baby Jesus?
[03:37] <rww> Hello, in #ubuntu-offtopic, YachtMasta = HarborMasta = Grexo, who is banned from that channel at least four times now.
[03:38] <rww> I unfortunately have no more hard evidence than same ISP and name similarity, but the style is identical and they're both crazy and obsessed with Marissa Meyer.
[03:43] <rww> Also, while I'm here, aliasing !mint to !mintsupport would make sense, since it currently links to a generic factoid that points to !mintsupport.

[03:48] <tonyyarusso> Hey all, the guy who's obsessed with Marissa Mayer is in #ubuntu-offtopic again. (as YachtMasta)  Things in my brain think he had some sort of outstanding ban-evasion type thing going on, but I don't remember his previous nicks to check.  Can anyone confirm or deny?
[03:48] <rww> tonyyarusso: I just said that before you came in. It's him.
[03:48] <tonyyarusso> oh yay
[03:48] <rww> Same ISP, and he's previously been HarborMasta, so I figure it's a match.
[03:49] <rww> and he has at least four bans in offtopic right now
[03:49] <tonyyarusso> He's had like a zillion nicks - I've lost track
[03:52] <Pici> so..
[03:52] <rww> grexo, grenfell, harbormasta, cornmuffin, probably others. his original hostname was user-0ccesmg.cable.mindspring.com, I believe
[03:52] <rww> he then got an account on SDF Europe and banevaded with that
[03:53] <rww> We had a run-in in OT in the past, so I made a point of keeping an eye out. Bias, I know :(
[03:53] <tonyyarusso> Pici: Any proposals on how to deal with it?
[03:55] <Pici> tonyyarusso: There really isn't much we can do besides banning and perhaps speaking to freenode about it.
[03:55] <tonyyarusso> Pici: You're suppose to have magic superban pixie dust!
[03:57] <Pici> uh
[03:57] <Pici> abracadabra
[03:58] <rww> Thanks tonyyarusso. I'll leave so y'all can weave spells in peace ;P
[04:00] <tonyyarusso> @mark Also known as grexo, grex23, grenfell, harbormasta, cornmuffin, LetEmDie, ILoveMyGlock, likely more (various hostmasks as well).
[04:00] <tonyyarusso> (is that the right syntax Pici ?)
[04:05] <tonyyarusso> @mark YachtMasta Also known as grexo, grex23, grenfell, harbormasta, cornmuffin, LetEmDie, ILoveMyGlock, likely more (various hostmasks as well).
[04:07] <tonyyarusso> ....... oh.  Should be in the same channel.  Darn it.

[07:34]  * mneptok tears up the Christmas card
[07:36] <elky> if you're doing your cards now, then i'd say it's a fairly uniform forget.
[07:36] <mneptok> not for Orthodox Christians.
[07:36] <jussi01> mneptok: where is my christmas card!
[07:36] <jussi01> :P
[07:37] <mneptok> not everyone celebrates Christmas at the same time.
[07:38] <elky> if you're sending cards, then i'm pretty sure you're stepping outside the bounds of orthodox.
[07:40] <mneptok> i get cards from Orthodox friends. got one today saying "it's a bit arly, but ..."
[07:40] <mneptok> *early
[07:43] <elky> i'm surprised they hop on the postal service commercialisation of the event to be honest.
[07:43] <elky> which is what cards (of any kind) are.
[07:44] <elky> the british postal service has a lot of explaining to do :P
[07:45] <mneptok> why British?
[07:45]  * mneptok is in the US
[07:46] <elky> because the first commercial greeting cards were invented in London
[07:47] <mneptok> explains the lack of England's once-plentiful forests
[07:48] <elky> the USians rather hated them when they finally got to your piece of rock because it overworked the postal staff.

[08:44] <Myrtti> what are giuseppe and bjsgp or whatever up to
[09:54] <DrManhattan> damn, you guys sure do hold a grudge - ya can't take off my ban even for Christmas? For the baby Jesus?
[09:56] <Flannel> DrManhattan: Bans are generally removed only after speaking with the user (you), that way there's no misconceptions about why the ban was put in place so you won't just get banned again after being unbanned.
[10:03] <DrManhattan> i know why it was in place, I was an asshole
[10:04] <DrManhattan> and I used the dreaded f word when a netsplit mashed the channel.
[10:05] <DrManhattan> oh and I made fun of both bazhang and menza
[10:07] <jussi01> DrManhattan: So do you feel like you wont do it again? DO you understand why the rules are in place? and have you read the irc guidelines?
[10:07] <jussi01> !guidelines
[10:09] <DrManhattan> yes , its a family channel, I wont use obscenities anymore
[10:11] <jussi01> DrManhattan: you understand this isnt just about obscenities, its also about and attitude towards other people.
[10:11] <jussi01> The ops and pretty much everyone are volunteers, they freely give of their time
[10:12] <jussi01> DrManhattan: However, I am going to remove your #ubuntu ban, so if you need support, you can get it, and if you good behaviour continues, then we can remove the -offtopic ban.
[10:14] <jussi01> DrManhattan: You may now rejoin #ubuntu, please come back in a week or so about the other ban.
[10:18] <DrManhattan> thanks!
[10:27] <Flannel> Thanks jussi01, I didn't have time to even look up his stuff at the time
[10:56] <jussi01> Flannel: yw :)
[11:47] <bazhang> got him in PM

[13:39] <Myrtti> MenZa: we got a request for the danish factoid yesterday
[13:40] <Myrtti> someone with backlog could perhaps paste it?
[13:41] <MenZa> I'll go trawl logs
[13:42] <MenZa> !danish
[13:42] <MenZa> "I denne kanal tales der kun engelsk, for at opnå support på dansk bedes du venligst gå til #ubuntu-dk"
[13:42] <Myrtti> I'm not sure if there's really a point for that factoid, but...
[13:42] <MenZa> !no, !danish is <reply> I denne kanal tales der kun engelsk. For at få support på dansk, bedes du venligst gå til #ubuntu-dk"
[13:42] <MenZa> That's touched up a bit further
[13:43] <MenZa> (I agree it was a translation, though)
[13:43] <MenZa> Someone feel free to commit that to the bot -- only with less of a quotation mark at the end.
[13:44] <MenZa> Myrtti: Thanks!
[13:44] <jussi01> !no, !danish is <reply> I denne kanal tales der kun engelsk. For at få support på dansk, bedes du venligst gå til #ubuntu-dk
[13:45] <jussi01> !no, !dk is <reply> I denne kanal tales der kun engelsk. For at få support på dansk, bedes du venligst gå til #ubuntu-dk
[13:45] <jussi01> o.O

[13:45] <jussi01> !no, danish is <reply> I denne kanal tales der kun engelsk. For at få support på dansk, bedes du venligst gå til #ubuntu-dk
[13:45] <MenZa> jussi01: !dk is <alias> danish, and then commmit it to !danish?
[13:47] <jussi01> !-dk
[13:47] <MenZa> hmm
[13:47] <jussi01> !-danish
[13:47] <jussi01> !dk
[13:48] <jussi01> whoops
[13:48] <jussi01> !no, danish is <alias>dk
[13:49] <jussi01> Its new years. Ill get back to it later.
[13:49]  * MenZa nods
[13:49] <MenZa> Have a good one, jussi01 :)
[13:50] <denny> heyla
[13:50] <denny> got someone complaining about an op in #ubuntu-cn - does anyone here want to pick that up?   I dropped in there but amazingly enough, I can't really tell what's going on  :)
[13:51] <Pici> ugh
[13:51] <denny> :)
[13:52] <jussi01> thanks for telling us denny :)
[13:52] <Pici> The fact that there is +O for ubuntu/member/* is already giving me a bad feeling.
[13:52] <Myrtti> uhoh
[13:52] <denny> oh god, is there?
[13:52] <denny> that's bound to end well
[13:52] <jussi01> is ircc on the list?
[13:53] <Pici> jussi01: no
[13:53] <Myrtti> lovely
[13:56] <Pici> jussi01: one of their founders appears to be on, so I'm taking it up with him.
[13:58] <Pici> That was surprisingly easy for an international channel issue.
[13:58] <MenZa> \o/
[14:14] <denny> what was the outcome?
[14:16] <Pici> denny: The founder said that the person in question was a temporary op and deopped him. Also said he would look into the bot issue.
[14:19] <denny> cool
[18:54] <magic_ninja> hey are there any ubuntu forum moderators around here, i wrote a howto for the forums and i'm not sure it was posted into the right spot

[23:56] <Flannel> We don't actually have anything to do with that channel and I'm not sure how to direct you.
[23:56] <Flannel> But someone else here might know where you should ask.
