rwwHello. MTechnology is on a crusade to whine at people over language that a reasonable person would not consider problematic. It is highly irritating and I would appreciate it if someone would look into his history of this and get him to quit it.02:13

Paddy_NII wish it was not03:22
bazhangPaddy_NI, please take a time out first before you continue03:23
IdleOnePaddy_NI: not sure what is going on but I don't think anybody is ganging up on anyone. I do know this. I am sure that if you need to speak to any op about a particular issue you can always PM if you need to.03:23

ubottuFloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (mass join)05:20
bazhangmook_ seems to be trolling05:44
IdleOnethink we need to drop the entire subject and get back to support in there.05:53
Tm_TI agree05:54
Flannelbazhang: It's perfectly appropriate for that channel with regard to the way he's addressing it.06:01
Flanneland trying to get him to come here is just going to cause more disruption06:01
bazhanghmm?06:02
bazhangdiscussion of removal is appropriate for here, always has been in the past.06:02
Tm_Tindeed here, not in support channel06:02
Tm_Tor in PM06:02
bazhang-ot right now06:02
Flannelbazhang: appropriate for here, yes.  But "here" isn't the only place it can be discussed06:02
FlannelHowdy syn-ack, how can we help you?06:04
bazhangsyn-ack, he was making a sarcastic comment06:04
syn-ackah06:04
syn-acknm then. :P06:04
bazhangie Semitones06:04
IdleOnehe is pushing it. needs a ban. I don't have ops or he would be banned already06:05
bazhangthat is not the proper channel for it.06:05
bazhangnow he is banned in -ot and #ubuntu06:07
bazhanga simple request for him to come here and discuss from the outset would have perhaps alleviated the necessity for that06:08
IdleOnewell he can come here and insult us and be banned again06:08
* IdleOne will stay out of it if he does.06:08
macois he gonna be auto-redirected here?06:08
IdleOneI'm a little upset06:08
macoif so a gandalfian "YOU SHALL NOT PASS" could be amusing06:08
bazhangnope not banforwarded06:09
* maco hugs IdleOne06:09
* IdleOne huggles maco 06:09
bazhangso what is the IRCC policy on this? removes/kicks/bans OKAY to be discussed in #ubuntu-offtopic ? or should they be asked to join here? My impression was that outside of PM this was the sole location to discuss.06:13
Flannelbazhang: Why would discussion of community events/policies be offtopic in the community offtopic channel?06:14
IdleOnebazhang: I would think this is the place to discuss that06:14
bazhangIdleOne, that was my impression (longstanding) as well06:14
FlannelBy the time he got really going, it was less about his particular kick, and more about ranting in general06:14
bazhangFlannel, up until now, it has been here. to my knowledge discussion of such has not changed. I may well be mistaken though06:15
IdleOneallowing it to go as far as it did was a mistake imo but there really is no way to tell how far a person is going to take the rant so :/06:16
Flannelbazhang: "Discuss your [disciplinary action] with the ops in here"  Not "Discuss community policies with [arbitrary people]".06:16
bazhangthe entire rant was about being removed.06:16
Flannelbazhang: He didn't have to come here to get unbanned or anything, I don't see why he needs to rant in here as well.  That puts a chilling effect on any sort of discussion of those sorts of things.06:18
FlannelOnce he becomes an issue in -ot, that's another story about it being inappropriate for that channel.06:18
Flannelbut had he done it in a calm, polite, etc manner, that wasn't abrasive, or disruptive to -ot's other discussions, I don't see any reason we should be worrying about it06:19
elkyI personally wouldn't trust the -ot crew to not make a circus of it.06:36
macoelky: actually he got a roaring smackdown from the -ot crew06:38
elkycircuses can go both ways06:39
elkythe -ot crew has been known to take the gender and race "weaknesses" when doing their "roaring smackdowns"06:39
elkyHence why we tend not to trust them with nice things.06:40

ThomasG33Ksorry thought this was wrong channel for me23:46

ThomasG33Ksome of those regular users are pretty bad IRCers from what I have noticed23:48
ThomasG33Kthanks for your help :)23:48
PiciThomasG33K: I can't garuntee that the exception will be there forever though, we regularly prune that list.23:48
ThomasG33KPici: Okay, Ill let you know if I have further problems23:49
ThomasG33KAlso, the host sverige.freeshell.org has the paying users on it, not the free users. So I think they tend not to abuse as much as the other hosts. Some consideration for modifying the blanket ban to make an exception for sverige.freeshell.org would be appreciated23:53
