| MichealH | Hey all. | 11:22 |

| MichealH | How do I invite ubottu to my channel? | 11:22 |
| DJones | Is there a guideline/policy on suggesting people move a conversation to -offtopic? If somebody is obviously offtopic in a support channel and give the impression that they'd be offtopic in -offtopic, I don't like the idea of suggesting they move there, in cases like that, would it be better just to ask them to stop the conversation without using the !offtopic factoid which could just give them the impression they can carry on with conversat | 14:20 |
| bazhang | something like !illegal , or !piracy you mean? | 14:20 |
| DJones | Not necessarily of that nature, possibly something like borderline trolling | 14:22 |
| bazhang | in #ubuntu currently? | 14:22 |
| DJones | no, nothing at the moment, it was just out of curiosity for future reference | 14:23 |
| bazhang | !trolling | 14:23 |
| ubottu | trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel | 14:23 |
| bazhang | like that? | 14:23 |
| DJones | I just don't want to be responsible for suggesting somebody move to offtopic when it probably wouldn't be appropriate there | 14:23 |
| bazhang | true | 14:24 |
| DJones | I'm not thinking of anything specific | 14:24 |
| tsimpson | there is !stop, but it seems like it was written for -ot | 14:24 |
| DJones | I guess what I was trying to get to was an !offtopic type pointer that doesn't give the #ubuntu-offtopic channel link | 14:25 |

| tsimpson | !stop | 14:26 |
| ubottu | NOTICE - Please stop this discussion NOW. See !offtopic for things that are inappropriate to discuss in this channel. Continuing will result in action being taken. | 14:26 |
| tsimpson | except that !offtopic in #ubuntu does not describe what is off-topic | 14:27 |
| DJones | Every situation would be different, so probably better just dealt with as a message rather than using a factoid and trying not to be too blunt | 14:27 |
| bazhang | never used that in a support channel though | 14:27 |
