bazhangrichthegeek was also pulling 'pranks' in #ubuntu have in PM now17:44
bazhangsuch as just now in -ot17:45
bazhangtopyli, ^^17:48
topyliah. thanks17:48
bazhangrichthegeek, something we can help you with?17:57
richthegeekbazhang: ofc. You suggested ubuntu-offtopic17:58
richthegeektopyli took offence whilst not explaining why17:58
topylii think richthegeek came for clarification on as to why one should follow the guidelines on ubuntu channels17:58
richthegeekhttp://richthegeek.dyndns.info:62/log.txt17:58
bazhangrichthegeek, for chat not 'pranks' of the nature you were pulling17:58
topylirichthegeek, that's why you're forwarded here17:58
richthegeektopyli: no, I came to ask why you kicked for something not actually against the rules of the channel or network17:59
richthegeektopyli: I am asking for an actual justification or reason, rather than just "because I said so"18:00
topylirichthegeek, two things. first, all the guidelines actually say is "be nice" and "don't be stupid". it's not a list of stuff you can't do18:00
richthegeektopyli: these are neither nasty nor stupid18:00
topylisecond, when people ask you to stop a discussion, you do so18:00
richthegeektopyli: no, when someone asks you to stop a discussion with justification, you do so18:01
richthegeekwhen someone merely asks you stop, you ask for said justification18:01
richthegeekyou proferred none18:01
topylii already did the best i can. you were doing to do harmful stuff, and was asking for help, and i tried to explain that this is not allowed18:02
topylieventually, all i can do is disallow it18:02
richthegeektopyli: it wasn't harmful stuff18:02
richthegeekand whilst you forbade it18:02
richthegeekyou didn't point to where it was forbidden18:02
topyliwhy don't the apple stores invite you to mess with their laptops then?18:03
richthegeekthat is why there are rules topyli, so single operators don't act like small gods banning based on who disagrees with them18:03
richthegeekand they do, in a sense18:03
richthegeekits banter with two of my friends18:03
richthegeekwho find it enjoyable outside of their work18:03
topylirichthegeek, i'm not looking to discuss your so-called pranks. i would like you to promise to quit misbehaving on -ot, so i can let you back in18:04
richthegeektopyli: again, it doesn't matter what *you* want to discuss on OT. That's sorta the point. Unless it is something actually against the rules that are written, you are way outta bounds18:05
topylii think there was a sufficient concensus on my understanding of the guidelines, when they opped me18:06
richthegeektopyli: and yet you cannot justify your kick beyond "because I said so"18:06
topyliif that has changed, my operator status may be re-evaluated of course18:06
richthegeektopyli: you say it is harmful to the machine or the store, when both are false18:06
topylihowever, right now we have more pressing matters, such as your ban18:06
richthegeektopyli: I have no problem following the rules that are written. However you have banned based on personal feelings as opposed to magistratal conditions.18:07
richthegeektopyli: and none of the rules, before you suggest it, say that "the ops word is law". Quite the opposite, in fact18:08
topylii had no-one else's judgement at my disposal. mine says you shouldn't talk about your plans on ubuntu chanels, so i asked you to stop. you did not18:09
richthegeektopyli: without justification. You still haven't properly justified it in a way that holds up18:09
bazhangthis seems to be going in circles18:10
bazhangtopyli, if I may?18:10
topyliyep, i'm getting ready to quote myself from above18:10
topylisure. thanks18:10
bazhangrichthegeek, the issue at hand is your quiet in #ubuntu and subsequent move to #ubuntu-offtopic ; as I advised in PM chat is the latter and support only in the former. discussing channel policies you were invited to come here18:11
richthegeekbazhang: and we are discussing channel policies, or rather topyli's apparent lack of application of them18:12
bazhangrichthegeek, you clearly disagree with the channel policy of no pranks, no jokes, stay ontopic in #ubuntu and misunderstood that being asked to stop in #ubuntu-offtopic means you should stop, or the #ubuntu-offtopic was anything goes.18:13
richthegeekbazhang: you state it's a policy, yet you cannot point to it anywhere in the guidelines18:13
bazhangrichthegeek, are you interested in working out the removal of the quiet in #ubuntu , and / or the ban in #ubuntu-offtopic ?18:13
bazhangrichthegeek, judging from you r comments since you joined here, you seem less than interested for dealing with those very salient points, and wish to debate the channel policies.18:14
richthegeekbazhang: yes. I agree that it was the wrong place in #ubuntu, although I think you were a bit quick to kick (instead of merely point me elsewhere). However, the ban in OT is something I believe to be against the guidelines as they are written (as opposed to inferred interpretation)18:14
richthegeekbazhang: the channel policies are *why* those "salient points" exist18:15
richthegeekbazhang: *that* is what i am discussing18:15
bazhangrichthegeek, well, the channel policies of all ubuntu channels are the same, when asked to stop, by anyone, operator or no, its best to do so.18:15
richthegeekbazhang: best, but not a rule. That brings it down to *who* asks you to ask and why18:16
topylifor the record, the guidelines do. say you should stop when asked. to quote, "drop a discussion if you are asked," and "take the discussion elsewhere if someone takes exception."18:16
richthegeekin this case, it's because the OP asked and the OP disagrees with the morals of the discussion18:16
bazhangrichthegeek, continuing to argue about them  is not a good way to move forward, which is what we are trying to do in this channel18:16
topylimore generally, not everything can be listed there18:16
richthegeekthat means it became a personal issue, and a moral judgment. Thus the OP is abusing his power18:16
richthegeekbazhang: arguing is the only any form of justice can occur. Otherwise it is you simply threatening and expecting me to grovel18:17
bazhangrichthegeek, it has nothing to do with the OP as you state, and everything to do with your pranks are not welcome in any ubuntu channels. any user asking you to stop, OP or no, is sufficient.18:17
bazhangrichthegeek, so, shall we try to move forward with the quiet and ban issues?18:18
richthegeekbazhang: can you please point to where either of these assumptions are written?18:18
richthegeekbazhang: the issue still stands regardless of what you wish. If you are acquescing because you realise you are in the wrong, it still stands. If you are merely tired of this discussion, it still stands.18:19
bazhangrichthegeek, which are you referring to? staying on topic? not pulling pranks? offtopic for offtopic ?18:19
richthegeekbazhang: "when someone asks you to stop, stop", and "pranks aren't welcome in OT"18:19
richthegeekbazhang: I have been reading the guidelines and CoC, and neither mention either18:20
bazhangrichthegeek, you were discussing doing damage on Apple property.18:20
richthegeekbazhang: no, damage implies permanence18:20
richthegeekbazhang: I was discussing how to do non-permanent things to a machine18:21
richthegeekbazhang: there is a *massive* difference between "kill 104" and "rm -Rf /"18:21
bazhangrichthegeek, you seem more interested in arguing about policy, and not as interested in resolving these issues.18:21
richthegeekbazhang: again, the policy and it's implementation is why these issues have occured18:21
ubotturww called the ops in #ubuntu (josele34 spam)18:21
richthegeekbazhang: now, I have asked you and topyli to justify the actions, and you have deferred and changed tack repeatedly. If you cannot justify them, admit you are in the wrong. If you can, prove it18:22
bazhangrichthegeek, it appears you wish to appeal your ban and quiet in #ubuntu-offtopic and #ubuntu respectively18:24
topylithe actions are consistent with the current policy. if you want changes to policy, it's better to discuss it on the mailing list where more people can take part18:24
richthegeekbazhang: how are you not getting this... JUSTIFY the actions and I will apologize18:25
richthegeektopyli: the policy disagrees with you18:25
bazhangrichthegeek, at this point other operators will review the logs and come to a judgment on the matter.18:25
richthegeektopyli: point to this policy, and the relevant sections, or you are no more than a priest saying "God hates gays"18:25
bazhang!appeals | richthegeek18:25
ubotturichthegeek: If 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/IRC/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.18:25
bazhangrichthegeek, please note the links above and continue on with the appeals process18:26
richthegeekbazhang: if you know that you are wrong, (as the CoC says), Step Down Considerately18:26
richthegeek;D18:26
bazhangrichthegeek, as you have visited here (step 1) and are still unhappy (apparently) then the next steps are described in the link above.18:27
richthegeekbazhang: of course I am unhappy. The ban is unjustified. Requests for justification have resulted in repetition and avoidance. If you cannot answer the question, you agree it is unjustified, so lift the ban.18:28
richthegeekbazhang: it is a logical boolean position - either justify the ban or lift it.18:28
bazhangrichthegeek, outside parties will review the actions and take the necessary steps. please continue the appeals process as described in the link above18:29
richthegeekbazhang: fine. You are failing as an OP though. You represent the community, and it is only through the rules that you are meant to wield the power granted to you, whilst remaining impartial against any personal grudges. Your position with regards to enforcement should be that of an ideal Judge or Barrister. I believe you have failed in regards to this, and further I believe you realise this yourself. If you don't, take a day and r18:32
bazhangthe last part got cut off18:32
bazhangtake a day and r18:32
richthegeekeview your actions and no doubt you will.18:33
topylirichthegeek, if there is nothing further, please part the channel as we don't allow idling on this channel. feel free to return if you wish to discuss your current bans in a constructive manner, or if we can help you with anything else18:33
richthegeekone moment, just copying to log file18:33

topylibazhang, thanks for the help, not much we can do though18:41
bazhangtopyli, he seemed more interested in arguing semantics than resolving the issues at hand18:41
bazhangafaik those types of pranks are not welcome in any ubuntu channels, and continuing to argue channel policy, chiding people to 'lighten up' is offtopic in #ubuntu18:43
