* Pici waits for the banlist to fill01:03
elkythe notices with the iframe are the spammerific ones, or newer spammerific ones?01:09
gordits the new one where you click and it automatically sends even more spam i think, very annoying01:12
ubottuFloodBot3 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (clone flood)01:13
ardchoilleDoes the ban list have a limit?01:14
ardchoilleI ask because I am seeing a lot of K-Lines and the floodbots are setting bans in the ip's. Doesn't the K-Line itself remove the requirement for a ban?01:15
ardchoilleSomeone may be doing a bunch of K-Lines for the sole purpose of filling up the ban list, then they can come back with a new IP and do what they want and not get banned01:16
ubottuFloodBot4 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (clone flood)01:18
ubottuFloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (clone flood)01:18
nikoyou should +r/+R one of them for moment01:21
nikono ops around ?01:23
ardchoilleNo idea. I just noticed something suspicious so I'm reporting it01:23
ubottuFloodBot3 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (clone flood)01:24
niko!ops | niko place a +r in #ubuntu01:24
ubottuniko place a +r in #ubuntu: Help! Channel emergency! (ONLY use this trigger in emergencies) -  elky, Madpilot, tritium, Nalioth, tonyyarusso, PriceChild, Amaranth, jrib, Myrtti, mneptok, Pici, Jack_Sparrow, jpds, bazhang, jussi01, Flannel or ikonia!01:24
ubottuniko called the ops in #ubuntu-ops (niko place a +r in #ubuntu)01:24
ardchoilleniko: Thanks for looking into it :)01:25
ardchoilleniko: floodbot 3 removed the +r/+R01:26
nikoyes01:26
nikoif kline stop, i will not put it again01:27
ardchoilleThere has been quite a number of k-lines lately01:27
macoardchoille: k-lines wont fill the ban list01:28
ardchoilleSomeone may need to clean out the ban list soon01:28
macoat least, i dont think they will01:28
ardchoillemaco: Oh, ok, disregard then01:28
macoi think the ban list is per channel01:28
ardchoilleWell, the floodbots are banning the k-lined ip's01:28
nikothere is probably a timer on these01:28
macoand i think the k-lines are because of the spam pm's with the link that opens a new connection that then spams out pm's01:28
macoyeah floodbots cant perma-ban01:29
ardchoilleI haven't seen an unbans for them01:29
ardchoilleah, ok01:29
ardchoilleOk, well I've reported it and will let you good folks take it from here. Thanks for listening.01:30
rejohnAre there #KUbuntu ops here?01:36
nikohow i can help you ? they seems away01:36
rejohnniko: it seems that #kubuntu is blocking irc traffic originating from the freenode system. Specifically, i'm logged in via webchat.freenode.net, & #KUbuntu won't let me log into htat channel. Who can correct that, by enabling freenode's own webchat into #kubuntu?01:39
ardchoilleI just had a thought about the global message about the new sort of spam01:40
macorejohn: its definitely not blocking all of freenode webchat01:40
macorejohn: however, it could be that your ip is blocked in #kubuntu01:40
ardchoilleWith the high user number in #ubuntu, someone could technically come into #ubuntu and say something like "I need help with this error http://pastebin.blah/blah" and have that page also contain the spamming code.01:41
nikowait for an operator of #kubuntu01:41
macorejohn: and using the webchat is not a way to ban-evade, believe it or not01:41
rejohnniko: is this place to wait faoo#K?01:41
macoi'm a #kubuntu op01:41
ardchoillemaco: That is what I was going to pm you about01:41
rejohnniko: or is there a better channel?01:41
nikorejohn: discuss with maco, forget me :)01:42
macohowever i dont recall how to get an ip address out of the hostname that the webchat gives01:42
macoto see if your ip is banned01:42
macogenii, jussi01: either of you aroun?01:42
ardchoilleThis makes me not want to click on any url's that people post in order to get help with something01:42
maco(i'm also about to try to eat dinner very quickly before a meeting)01:42
rejohnmaco: thanks, I'm awaiting your suggestions.01:43
macoardchoille: paste.ubuntu.com, pastebin.ca, and pastebin.com are ok :)01:43
ardchoillemaco: Ah, good point01:43
macorejohn: were you banned in there at any point in the past?01:43
macooh hey its not an IP ban01:44
macoit's just plain "rejohn is banned"01:44
macorejohn: talk to tsimpson, as he set your ban01:44
rejohnmaco: i've been banned once at least, from #kubuntu, by an idiot sysop (true), that might be the cause.01:44
macoyou are still banned01:44
macoyou'll need to talk to tsimpson, the "idiot sysop" as you called him, to get it listed01:45
maco(i dont think calling him an idiot will earn you any points, however)01:45
rejohnmaco: so, can someone unban me, because, truly, whoever banned me was acting like an idiot.01:45
macoer, unbanned, i mean01:45
macorejohn: nope. whomever banned you is the one who has to unban you01:45
macoif you believe this op is out to get you, please see the appeals process01:45
maco!appeals01:45
ubottuIf you disagree with a decision by an operator, please first pay #ubuntu-ops a visit. If you are still unhappy, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcTeam/AppealProcess for the steps you should take. If you feel the need to discuss the channel rules, please contact the ops on IRC or via the email address on the aforementioned page.01:45
rejohnmaco: i don't care the least about "points", i care about progress & non idiotic behavior.01:46
macorejohn: let me be clear: i refuse to remove your ban as i did not set your ban. period. if you want your ban to be removed, take it up with the op who banned you (tsimpson). if you believe he is being unreasonable, you may file an appeal.01:46
rejohnmaco: then please now consider this my visit to #u-ops to get this corrected,01:46
rejohnmaco: I was already here, & spoke with several people when that ban occurred, the end of the conversation was basically "we made a mistake". I'd like to get unbanned, please.01:47
macoplease point to the logs on http://irclogs.ubuntu.com where a mistake was admitted01:47
macoand then i'm sure someone will be happy to remove your ban01:48
macobut right now, i have to get to a meeting01:48
rejohnmaco: the mistake was admitted during private msg com with me & two or 3 ubuntu ops, so probably nothing is in the log for this channel, but i'll check,01:49
rejohnANYONE (since maco has to leave) - Given that the !appeals says this is the place to, basically, get bans removed, is there someone here who can do that?01:50
Picirejohn: one moment, let me take a look01:51
rejohnPici: it was likely on 2009.12.2001:53
Picirejohn: It was on the 18th.  Do you remember why?01:55
rejohnPici: I'm back, any results?02:00
nikoPici: i believe you can remove +r now02:04
rejohnmaco: Pici  - is there a date indicated for the ban?02:04
Picirejohn: It was on the 18th.  Do you remember why?02:05
Piciniko: ty02:05
rejohnPici: yes, i'll tell you momentarily, let me look up the 18th log02:06
rejohnPici: Re ur question "why the ban": On that date, in #kubuntu, I made a relevant, on topic, helpful to the Kubuntu community post, & some person whose actions were at least ignorant, & perhaps idiotic, accused me of spamming. Spam it was definitely not.  I came to this channel to try to resolve it, Someone from here asked if they could PM me, I said sure, we discussed it there with one other person from U-Ops, & the result was02:14
rejohnPici: niko maco tsimpson : Can anyone get that ban removed.?02:15
rejohnPici: niko maco tsimpson : Can anyone get that ban removed.?02:20
Picirejohn: You discussed it in here?02:20
rejohnPici: to repeat what i just wrote, no, someone from here asked if they could pm me, we discussed it there with one other person.02:21
rejohnPici: will you please get that ban removed?02:22
Picirejohn: The appeals process doesn't mean "hey, come here and we'll remove your ban", it means that we'll review your ban and if we think that your behavior has changed then it will be removed.02:23
PiciAnd you cannot have a private message with 3 people, which is why I asked if you had discussed it in this channel.02:23
rejohnPici: well, it's been a # of weeks, & my memory is that someone asked me if they could pm me, i said "sure", & we discussed things there.  There was also someone else involved in the discussion at some point, perhaps just not in the pm,02:27
rejohnPici: do you have a log scan tool that can list all the dates since 2009.12.18 that i was in this channel?02:27
rejohnPici: So, what can you, or anyone, do now to get that ban removed?02:28
Picirejohn: I've already looked at my logs, you came here asking for the senior ubuntu irc person and was not satisfied with any of the answers that you got.02:29
Picirejohn: I understand why you may have thought that your announcement to #kubuntu was on-topic, but #kubuntu is not a discussion channel, it is for support only.02:30
rejohnPici: further, as my behavior was perfectly appropriate, & even moreso: was an assistance to the KUbuntu community, there is no valid reason that my behavior should have been different, nor should my behavior change.  As a community member, someone abused _me_ by banning me improperly.02:30
Picirejohn: Then I'm afraid I cannot help you at this time.  If you wish to see this through further then you may send an email to the IRC Council, listed on the appeals page.02:31
Pici!appeals02:31
ubottuIf you disagree with a decision by an operator, please first pay #ubuntu-ops a visit. If you are still unhappy, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcTeam/AppealProcess for the steps you should take. If you feel the need to discuss the channel rules, please contact the ops on IRC or via the email address on the aforementioned page.02:31
rejohnPici: my announcemt was a form of support for KUbuntu community members, and thus pas 100% perfectly & properly on topic for that channel.  i was abused by being banned.02:31
rejohnPici: Why do you state you cn't help me at this time? The channel topic says it is re operator abuse, which is my situation.  Is this a discussion only, no action channel?02:35
Picirejohn: Because you are under the impression that there was no wrongdoing on your part and the operator in question is the one who made the mistake.02:36
rejohnPici: who was "toiq" - tsimpson ?02:37
Picirejohn: toiq?02:37
rejohn"the operator in question"02:37
rejohnPici: who was "toiq" - tsimpson ?02:37
Picirejohn: yes02:37
rejohnPici: so, tsimpson is logged into this channel, afai can see, but doesn't respond.  Is there anyone else here who _can_ get this ban removed?02:38
rejohntsimpson: are you online?02:38
PiciHe has been idle for ~8 hours.02:39
rejohnPici: so,   Is there anyone else here who _can_ get this ban removed?02:39
Picirejohn: Unless tsimpson returns, your next step would be to email the IRCC02:42
rejohnPici: thanks for your help.02:42

elkyrejohn, #ubuntu and #kubuntu are both publicly logged at irclogs.ubuntu.com. our log scan tool tends to be grep on our local systems of our local logs, but you could very easily replicate this with the contents of irclogs.ubuntu.com03:53
elkywe do have the benefit of being able to customise what our local logs record, and so we have the ip/hostname as per raw irc specs03:57
mneptokrejohn: i show no instances of the nick "rejohn" in this cahnnel since the original date of the ban (when you kept asking who the "senior" person is) and today.04:05
elkyah, that's where i remember the nickname from04:06
elkyalso for the interest of those here but not -irc: <rejohn> Help please: it seems that #kubuntu is blocking irc traffic originating from the freenode system. Specifically, i'm logged in via webchat.freenode.net, & #KUbuntu won't let me log into htat channel. Who can correct that, by enabling freenode's own webchat into #kubuntu?04:07
rejohnelky: thanks for the info about the logs, & specifically of when i was in this channel.04:21
mneptokrejohn: FWIW, i find your conduct in #kubuntu to be disruptive and against the channel policy, as well. #kubuntu is a support channel. it is not there for people to make announcements.04:25
mneptokrejohn: and belittling an op using your <capslock> key is not going to get you anywhere when asked to stop.04:26

mneptokrejohn: there you go04:35
mneptok@login04:35
ubottuThe operation succeeded.04:35
rejohnmneptok: 1) thanks for that info.04:37
rejohnmneptok: 2) Are you a volunteer for ubuntu, or are do you work for any Ubuntu or Cannonical related company?04:38
mneptoki am curently a volunteer, and am an alumnus of Canonical. why?04:38
mneptokcobra679: what do you require?04:38
rejohnmneptok: just a moment, & i'll get you an answer.04:39
rejohnmneptok: 3) Since _you_ brought the topic up (ie, this is not something _I'm_ bringing up, I'm responding to _your_ comment.  Just to say that if you think this is offtopic, it is a response to _your_ comment.),04:41
rejohnmneptok: 3ctd) Time doesn't permit me to provide much comment on the way that what ""you" find" relates to the actual, in place, information for operation of the KUbuntu channel,04:43
elkyrejohn, the purpose of #kubuntu is that of technical support. if you were using it for content of another nature then you were outside the scope and hence, offtopic04:44
mneptok#kubuntu is a support channel. as stated in its /topic and as you were told by tsimpso n. it is for support issues only, and not for announcements.04:44
mneptokthere's no ambiguity there.04:44
rejohnmneptok: 3ctd) So first I will comment that we should all be aware, here, of evolution, & how things, like software, sw communities, & sw cmts communication methodologies work,04:44
elkyand this is not "because mneptok wants". it's because that's what it was made for, years ago.04:44
cobra679mneptok can you unban from ubuntu offtopic04:45
mneptokcobra679: no.04:45
elkyit has not evolved *from* a support channel, but rather evolved *away* from a support+development channel. it is now *only* support.04:45
cobra679y04:46
rejohnmneptok: 3ctd) So, since I can't actually currently see for myself what the KUbuntu topic is (Because I'm being blocked currently from seeing it), I will presume that what you wrote above is the actual channel message currently for @kubuntu,04:46
mneptokcobra679: rather, i could. but i will not. your behavior was puerile and well within the limits of a bannable offense.04:46
macothe channel list should show you the topics for all channels04:46
mneptok /topic #kubuntu04:49
rejohnmneptok: 3ctd) So, the key thing to note, relevenat to the current discussion topic, about that channel message, is that it totally fails to do the #2 important thing that such a message should do (for the a channel named "#kubuntu" for a major (GNU)Linux distro) (# 1 being saying the channel topic): provide a url to a _fuller description about what the channel is about_,04:50
mneptokrejohn: the first three words in the /topic are "Official Kubuntu Support"04:51
mneptokrejohn: you sent multiple lines of input that were not support related, and when asked to stop, and when told it was a support channel, you became argumentative, condescending, and defensive.04:52
rejohnmneptok: 3ctd) Look at the url there provided: it is _not_ about the channel, it is merely about the sw.  Now, given that I expect many people involved in #Kubuntu & Ubuntu are volunteers, I am not "nit picking",ie not trying to  find minor problems & blow them up out of proportion,04:52
mneptokrejohn: if it is such a major issue, why are you the first person in many, many months to not understand the idea of "it's a support channel?"04:53
mneptokrejohn: IOW, the problem exists for you, not for the community as a whole. this means you need to modulate your behavior, and not that the community needs to take action.04:54
rejohnmneptok: 3ctd) But, if someone here (you) desires _to raise as an issue that is _relevant__, the issue of how participants in the channel should behave with respect to the channel, then it is _truly important_ for such persons (you) to learn key things about the endeavor in which they are involving themselves, ie, in this case, proper communication of accepted behavior wrt communication in the #kubuntu channel, instead of doin04:57
rejohnmneptok: 3ctd) [ctd] "operating by the assumption that people some mind reading skills" that humans _don't_ have.04:57
mneptokrejohn: this is becoming a lecture. i don;t like lectures. when you are ready to have a conversation where you listen to what the other party says and react to it, rather than just bombard with your own opinion, feel free to get my attention.04:58
* mneptok walks away04:58
rejohnmneptok: Point: It is idiotic (or perhaps idiotic & uninformed/uneducated) to expect any casual user of some specific irc channel to know things about such channel when the channel ops have failed to communicate that info in the #1 manner they should do (ie, by putting a url for _the channel communication policies (not _only_ a url for the sw) _in the channel message_.,05:00
rejohnmneptok: 3end) I wish I had more time to try to uplift your consciousness on that, but life is short.05:01
Flannelrejohn: When you join the channel, you are presented with both the scope of the channel, and the URL for more information regarding the expected behavior of the channel.05:03

cobra679ok05:08
cobra679thanks for your help mneptok05:09
cobra679when can i come back ?05:09
cobra679and ask again05:09
mneptok24-27 hours05:11
mneptokcobra679: until then, please read ...05:12
mneptok!guidelines05:12
ubottuThe guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines05:12
mneptok!CoC05:12
ubottuThe Ubuntu Code of Conduct is a community etiquette document to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere, and can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ .  For information on how to electronically sign the CoC, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SigningCodeofConduct .05:12
mneptokcobra679: and that should be 24-72h05:12
rejohnmneptok: So, before my connection dropped, I saw that your comment saying you wished to be output only on the conversationtopic you started with me.  Fine enough.  Your loss.05:13
mneptokrejohn: your ban is not being lifted at this time. you have been informed of the appeals process, and you can /whois tsimpso n to determine when the op who set the ban is active, and re-/join this channel then. until then, please abide by our no-idling policy stated in this channel's /topic. thanks.05:14
rejohnmneptok: actually, the freenode webchat service doesn't provide that info in the /whois response, as far as I can tell. I've already tried that, only says "is signed on", as closest thing to "active".05:17
rejohnAnyone know when tsimpson might likely be back here?05:17
Flannelrejohn: I'll hazard a guess that you could really speak to *any* operator.  Not just tsimpson.  But you'll actually have to have a conversation about the ban and your behavior.05:18
rejohnFlannel: I was told by Pici that Pici couldn't help me, that I'd need to speak to tsimpson, but I'm fine with speaking to anyone who can get the improper ban removed.05:24
Flannelrejohn: There is no improper ban to be removed.  You were acting inappropriately, and you almost certainly won't be let back in until you agree to not act in the same way in the future.05:26
rejohnFlannel: I believe you are wrong.  And further,I believe that _if_ you _are_ correct,  you are only so by incorrect/improper process.05:29
Flannelrejohn: We have a responsibility to our users.  That responsibility is, in this case, to keep the support channels available for support.  Advertising things, even when they're ubuntu related, isn't support, and as such, isn't allowed.05:32
rejohnFlannel: But, really, likely on or about that day, someone(s) from here _did_ have a discussion with me, & the bottom line is I was told something like "perhaps mistakes were made (in banning you) [becasue every issue they inquired about, was not applicable].  Bottom line: I'd really like to find out who from ub-ops had that conversation with me, so the entire line of ubuntu-ops faulty reasoning doesn't have to be re-destructe05:35
rejohnFlannel:  & get the ban removed from operational activity.05:35
rejohnFlannel: are you an employee of Cannonical/ubuntu etc, or are you in the community only as a volunteer?05:36
Flannelrejohn: That day you came here, and wanted to speak to a "senior" operator, and then after you were given the answer ('no') you didn't pursue your question further.05:38
Flannelrejohn: If you have no further questions or comments regarding your ban, please don't idle here.  Feel free to come back in the future when you feel like you'll be able to move this issue forward.  Thanks05:39
rejohnFlannel: When is _now_, as I've already stated,05:39
Flannelrejohn: You may claim that, but your actions haven't been supporting that idea.05:40
rejohnFlannel: Are u able 2 determine who had the discussion w/me that day (referred 2 earlr in todays covmstn here)?05:41
ubottuFloodBot3 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (clone flood)05:41
Flannelrejohn: I have the discussion from that day, yes.  No one had a discussion that resembled your description.05:41
rejohnFlannel: So, tell me who here is in a position 2 reolve the issue & remove the (iirc improper) ban.05:42
Flannelrejohn: I am in a position to potentially resolve the issue.  I've said this already.05:43
rejohnFlannel: do you have the capability to grep the #ubuntu & #kubuntu logs for my nic & tell me what days I was in those channels, since Nov 2009?05:43
Flannelrejohn: I do.  Is it relevant?05:44
rejohnFlannel: it is relevant: I'd like to use that as starting data to see if I can locate some info that indicates who (from ub-ops) I had the conversation with that I referenced earlier.05:45
rejohnFlannel: would you mind finding that out?05:45
Flannelrejohn: You're looking for this log: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2009/12/18/%23ubuntu-ops.html05:46
rejohnFlannel: thanks, no, i'd already located that on my own, & read it, & it is not what I'm asking about.  I asked if someone could grep the #ubuntu #kubuntu logs for my nic for Nov 2009 to today, & tell me what dates my nic is there.05:51
rejohnFlannel: can you locate that?05:54
Flannelrejohn: Whether or not someone told you that you were banned mistakenly is irrelevant.  I'm telling you right now that you weren't.05:56
Flannelrejohn: Whether or not someone told you that you were banned mistakenly is irrelevant.  I'm telling you right now that you weren't.05:58
rejohnFlannel: Although I'd greatly like having to take the time to redo the conversation, go ahead: please tell me what you think justifies any ban on me now.05:59
Flannelrejohn: You still believe that your previous actions were justified, which means if we let you back in, you won't know any better than to create another disruption.  I've already stated this.06:01
rejohnFlannel: You state "disruption" as the sole justifying reason.  Please stick to the discussing specifics, with url reference to the specific, relevant policy violated.  Because I did nothing justifying a ban then, nor now, when I'm still banned improperly.06:04
Flannelrejohn: You were being offtopic, that's not allowed.06:05
rejohnFlannel: please quote anythng I said that you think wasn't allowed, & also a url to a relevant rule that stated (at that time) that such a statement was unallowed.06:06
Flannelrejohn: "Don't be annoying" would be another, "Subject" part of 'language and subject', or we can go to the code of conduct: "Be considerate" "Be Respectful"06:06
Flannelrejohn: Please come back in at least 48 hours.  Read over the code of conduct, and the IRC guidelines in that time.  Thanks.06:07
rejohnFlannel: please stick to specifics, please.06:07
Flannelrejohn: Have a nice evening.06:07
rejohnFlannel: Check this out: 1) you said you could resolve the issue. 2) You fail to provide specifics. 3) You are unspecific, & don't do what you say you will do, you are unreliable, & your unreliablity & false statement is all publically logged for everyone to see, by the ubuntu.com06:09
Flannelrejohn: I said I was able to resolve the issue.  That doesn't mean it would be resolved.  It's resolution depends solely on you.06:10
Flannelrejohn: I'm not sure how much more specific you need, I gave you a laundry list.06:11
Flannelrejohn: But like I said, I'll be happy to discuss it again after 48 hours.   Please take the time to become familiar with and internalize the channel guidelines so you'll understand why you were banned.06:12
rejohnFlannel: so, if you wish to be a person of your word, then, no, the resolution depends at least half on (a reliable, truthful, honest) person representing the ubuntu-ops.  If you wish that to be _your_ reputation, then don't say one thing (I could work to resolve it with you) then fail to provide any specifics, then further indicate you won't fulfill your word, & you, after I follow your sggestion to resolve it now, back out o06:13
rejohnFlannel: So, if you wish to follow on your word/suggestion: retrace your abusive comment of "come back later" when you'd indicated  I should take my time to try to resolve this with you now.06:14
Flannelrejohn: Resolution generally requires conversation about the ban.  When all you're going to do is deny the fact that your previous behavior is bannable, we are at an impasse.06:14
rejohnFlannel: you have made a bald faced false statement about me, & your false statement is publically logged by ubuntu.com on the internet.,06:16
rejohnFlannel: your false statement is evident by reading merely todays log here.06:16
rejohnFlannel: If you want to mend your reputation which you just publically damaged yourself, then let's proceed on getting this issue resolved. IIRC, You've made a (factually false) accusation to me (let me reread the log to get the correct quote), so start by doing job 1, the basics: quote anything I wrote that you think justifes a ban, & quote a url that indicates clearly that what I was was prohibited.06:19

rejohnDominian: Are you here?06:27
Myrttirejohn: freenode != Ubuntu, Ubuntu != freenode06:27
Myrttiubuntu irc channels can have and do have rules that are tighter than freenode policy06:28
rejohnMyrtti: please tell me something i don't know already.06:28
Myrttiso the statement that you have not violated freenode policy isn't up to discussion here06:28
Myrttiit's the violation of Ubuntu IRC guidelines06:29
Myrttihaving said that, I need to shower, have doctors appointment in 90min06:30
rejohnMyrtti: I'd love to continue this conversation with you at this time, (if you were able to get this ban removed), but I am past due to be asleep, & must leave in too short a time to conclude this conversation now.  Thanks for your effort, I will have to try later to resolve this matter.06:31

tsimpsonbut looking at my logs, you did a similar thing on Apr 19 23:42:44 UTC, about the so called "GLOBAL KUBUNTU MEETING"06:47
rejohntsimpson: what is your position in the ubottuops group?06:50
tsimpsonI am a recent member of the IRC Council, but I can abstain from this issue if you'd rather06:51
rejohntsimpson: I am told that it was you that banned my nic from #kubuntu. Is that true?06:52
tsimpsonit is06:52
rejohntsimpson: why?06:53
tsimpsonbecause you posted offtopic comments06:53
tsimpsonalso because you refused to see it as off topic06:54

rejohntsimpson: Would you mind showing me a url that indicates banable comments for the #ubuntu channel?06:58
rejohntsimpson: or, that says anyting about posting offtopic comments in the #ubuntu channel?06:58
tsimpsonrejohn: you have been given that information already, the IRC Guidelines and Code of Conduct06:58
rejohntsimpson: I'm asking _you_ if you'd mind telling me that, because _you_ have told me it was _you_ that banned me [quite & totally without proper justification, i believe].06:59
rejohntsimpson: Would you mind showing me a url that indicates banable comments for the #ubuntu channel?07:00

rejohntsimpson: thank you.  those two documents have many items in them.  Will you please quote here the component therin for which you choose to ban my nic.07:02
tsimpsonread the "Language and Subject" and "Don't be annoying" parts07:03
tsimpsonalso the "Be respectful" and "When we disagree, we consult others" parts of the code of conduct07:03
rejohntsimpson: I believe I was improperly & wrongly banned by (you indicate it was you, tsimpson).  Will you please quote anything I did that you think justified a ban?07:06
tsimpsonrejohn: if you believe that you were wrongly banned then you should follow the next step of the appeal process07:07
tsimpson!appeals07:07
ubottuIf you disagree with a decision by an operator, please first pay #ubuntu-ops a visit. If you are still unhappy, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcTeam/AppealProcess for the steps you should take. If you feel the need to discuss the channel rules, please contact the ops on IRC or via the email address on the aforementioned page.07:07
rejohntsimpson: I've been informed the _first_ step is to talk with _you_ (the person who self admits banning my nic), _here_.07:08
rejohntsimpson: so, I'm following the procedure as it has been explained to me so far,07:08
rejohntsimpson: since you banned me, I think you owe me a explanation: Moreover, not some kind of hand-wavy, generalization on, rules qouting only, but something that has these two exact pieces:07:09
tsimpsonrejohn: you have completed the first step with no resolution07:09
tsimpsonrejohn: I have explained it to you, and so have others07:10
tsimpsonyou disagree with our explanations, so you should continue with the next step07:10
rejohntsimpson: 1) a quote from me, & 2) a link from the urls that indicates that kind of statement is a bannable statement [I don't think it is possible to accomplish that, because I believe everything I wrote was unprohibited, & _furthermore_ was a _benefit_ to the KUbuntu community, who you, through your ban action, have robbed.]07:11

ubottuFloodBot3 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (clone flood)07:13
rejohntsimpson: I believe you have failed to fulfill your responsibility to 1) me, & 2) the KUbuntu community, because you have _not_ provided a valid "explanation" -(which furthermore is irrelevant - it is not a hand wavey "explanation" that you owe me & the KUbuntu community, but 1) a quote from me, & 2) a url & qoute of some rules therein which, presumably, my quote violated).,07:14
Myrttisince we are going around in circles, I suggest you elevate the issue to IRC Council.07:15
tsimpsonyou have all of those, a quote from you (in the logs), the rules (IRC Guidelines and CoC) and the explanation (from here)07:15
Myrttithis discussion is clearly going nowhere07:15
tsimpsonnext step: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcTeam/AppealProcess07:15
rejohntsimpson: so, I am here trying to accomplish step _1_, find out from _you_ (who did the banning) exactly _why_ you think there was _any_ _proper_ _valid_ justification for doing so.,07:16
tsimpsonyou have been told07:16
rejohntsimpson: until you do so, you are violating both me, _&_ the KUbuntu community.,07:16
tsimpsonso please continue with the next step in the appeals process07:16
tsimpsonI am now refusing to continue with this, as I feel we are going nowhere07:17
rejohntsimpson: but, I am more than willing to cut you some slack, even though you've hurt me & the KUbuntu community both, if you are not a cannonical/ubuntu employee.,07:17
rejohntsimpson: Do you work for Ubuntu or Cannonical, etc?07:17
topylisorry for interrupting rejohn, but i don't think the discussion can progress any further here, as all measures possible here have already been taken. please move on as tsimpson suggest. thanks07:18

rejohntsimpson: You might find that 1) it saves time for those higher up (in the appeals process), & 2) is the proper thing to do to respect the KUbuntu community, if you would, please, provide just two specific items here: 1) a _specific_ quote from me, & 2) a _specific_ banning-applicable rule that my quote violates.  That really isn't much for me to ask.  & if you _don't_ provide such, it looks as if you didn't _have_ any justifi07:33

rejohnFlannel: and, going by topyli 's comment, _You_ now have the opportunity to respect the community, where tsimpson  wouldn't, by either providing a relevant url indicating what I wrote was prohibited (which Can't be done, I believe, because my comment _was_ _on topic_ & _relevant_ & _not prohibited_ for the #kubuntu channel),07:41

jpdsCan we please set +Rr in #ubuntu until this madness stops?15:11
Myrttijpds: how would it help?15:11
jpdsMyrtti: It will keep the bots out.15:11
Myrttiisn't atleast other of the modes you suggested meant to block messages sent by unregistered users to the channel?15:12
Myrttisince we had almost an hour of +R yesterday, the attack was redone to send CTCP's to individuals instead of sending direct messages to channel15:12
jpdsWell +r blocks people from the channel.15:13
jpdsWell, something just broke.15:14
PiciThat was an odd netsplit15:14

ubottuSlart called the ops in #ubuntu (TuxOtaku)18:01
geniiTheyre back18:01
Myrttinoted18:01
MyrttiI might die soon of kebab overdose18:02
Picithey?18:02
Myrttiroight18:02
Myrttiparty on, party people18:02
TuxOtakuwell, I'm here anyway if you feel like chewing me out. lol18:04
Myrttiwould you *please* agree not to send commands like that in the future18:05
TuxOtakusure, whatever.18:05
Myrttithey're not helpful in any way and someone might actually follow your "advice"18:06
MenZa"sure, whatever." doesn't give me the impression that you understand the rationale, or agree to it.18:06
TuxOtakuMenZa, yes, I understand the rationale. You have a channel overrun by people who have no bloody clue what they're doing, and barely even know what linux is18:07
TuxOtakuso you end up with a sort of "blind leading the blind" situation18:08
MyrttiTuxOtaku: ubuntu is aimed for everyone, and one of the methods of support is irc. that leads to that people that don't know what linux is, or don't have a clue what they are doing, are in the channel18:08
MenZaTuxOtaku: Some people call what you're doing sabotage.18:08
Myrttiit's your responsibility as one of the people with ability to "see" to guide them, not make them bump their head on 2x418:08
TuxOtakuMenZa, that's a bit dramatic, innit?18:09
MenZaTuxOtaku: Not at all. The command in question would destroy possibly precious data.18:09
MenZaTuxOtaku: People who come to #ubuntu expect help. We are a community build on trust and responsibility.18:09
TuxOtakuno shit sherlock.18:09
TuxOtakulook, I get it okay?18:10
MenZaYou obviously don't.18:10
MenZaYou've shown no remorse for your action, nor have you acknowledge how blatantly stupid it was.18:10
TuxOtakuok look, I admit it was trolling18:10
TuxOtakuand stupid.18:10
Myrttigood.18:11
TuxOtakubut "sabotage"? that's a bit dramatic a term is all18:11
MyrttiTuxOtaku: some people may think so. Especially the ones who use that command18:11
MyrttiLook, we all know it's a channel of mostly amateurs helping each other out, or atleast professionals on their coffee break or lunch hour, or free time.18:12
TuxOtakuyeah, agreed. and despite my actions, I've no ill will towards linux novices18:13
MyrttiBut since Ubuntu aims to be a nice distro, with respectability, we need to aim to some quality, and perhaps a hint of professionalism. And trolling really isn't professionalism18:13
Myrttianyway. I'm glad we agree on this. I just wanted to have a chat with you about it, and to  make sure that you know that jokes like that aren't welcome on the channel18:13
TuxOtakubut with a distribution as popular as ubuntu is, and as it HAS attracted people both familiar AND unfamiliar with Linux, would I be out of place as to making a small suggestion?18:13
Myrttisure, go ahead. We might or might not use it :-)18:14
TuxOtakuI think it may be prudent, in the near future, to possibly fork #ubuntu into another set of two rooms, one for novices, and one for those of us that maybe have a bit more experience18:15
TuxOtakulike maybe #ubuntu for the novices18:15
TuxOtakuand #ubuntu-advanced18:15
TuxOtakufor the more experienced18:15
TuxOtakujust because there IS a veritable torrent of information being flung across the channel at any given time18:16
MyrttiTuxOtaku: unsurprisingly, your suggestion is quite old and has been presented several times over. There are bugs, blueprints and questions about it in Launchpad18:16
TuxOtakuso I take it then that an official "advanced" channel is not in the offing?18:16
Myrttiso far we've considered the benefits of the current system surpassing the cons18:16
Myrttithere is a channel for questions that aren't being answered and might need a bit more throughout knowledge to solve, alas I might have forgotten the name of it... hold on18:17
MenZa-meta, Myrtti?18:18
TuxOtakunow that being said, there's surely nothing preventing someone such as myself from creating an "unofficial" channel then, I suppose18:18
Myrttimight be18:18
MenZaTuxOtaku: If you have two hashes, then no - #ubuntu* is covered by our namespace reservation, but ##somethingubuntuy is allowed, as per Freenode's guidelines.18:19
TuxOtakuunderstood.18:19

Myrttijussi01: if my little brain would understand the context of your words, then it might actually mean something19:33
Myrttibut now I don't know if that is a comment to my attempt to change the factoid, or #ubuntu-meta19:34
PiciMyrtti: The bot can use things like $currentrelease to automcatically fill out the current release and whatnot19:34
Myrttiand to be honest, I don't really care19:34
Myrttioh ok.19:34
MyrttiI guess we just ahve to wait for The Real McC^H^H^Hubottu to resurrect and deliver us from evil and let us change the factoid.19:35
