DamasceneI've seen that bug earlier16:22
* Tm_T feels big need to scream "no channel splitting!!" ):16:41
IdleOneTm_T: is that channel splitting convo still going on?17:11
Tm_TIdleOne: it never ends17:20
IdleOneseems like a waste of manpower to split the channel17:20
Damasceneare you talking about #ubuntu?17:21
IdleOneyes17:22
IdleOneand splitting it into -lts etc17:22
Damascenewell if you didn't spilt it you will keep losing users17:22
IdleOneHow do you figure?17:23
Damascenewill usually in a channel 10 can talk on one subject17:24
Damascenebut what if there is 100 subject?17:24
Damasceneshould the other 99 subject wait?17:24
IdleOnethat is why we use highlighting17:24
IdleOneI focus on what is addressed to me when I am trying to help a user17:25
IdleOnegranted some of use more experienced user also try to keep up with other convos17:25
IdleOnes/use/us17:25
IdleOnebut for the new user teaching them about !tab makes abig difference in my opinion17:26
Damasceneso you should make sure that new users now about highlighting too17:27
IdleOneDamascene: I try to when I see that a user is not familiar with it17:27
IdleOneI am so used to using tab complete that I use it in priv msg also :)17:28
IdleOneor in a slow channel like this one is at the moment17:28
Damascenein many channel what people usually do is to look to a channel from time to time. in #ubuntu you should have all your eyes and ears there to be able to help someone17:28
IdleOneI know you are paying attention to what i am saying but I still highlighted you17:29
IdleOnewe could use #ubuntu-irc-helpers as a place to redirect or as a place where a helper can ask a user to join for more detailed help with less scroll17:31
IdleOneright now it is a dead channel :/17:32
IdleOneI would suggest making it an officially logged channel and metabot could also keep track of the questions asked and categorize the answers17:33
IdleOnejust a thought17:33
Damascenewill if you have enough helpers you can just make17:34
Damasceneubuntu-1 ubuntu-217:34
Damasceneup to four channel17:34
IdleOnewe don't need four channels17:34
IdleOnewe have #ubuntu-irc-helpers17:35
IdleOneit is not a busy channel and can be used just for when a user has difficulties that require more detailed attention17:35
IdleOnenot to mention a -1 would get confused with +117:36
DamasceneI think enough discussion have been made and it's urgent to fix the problem17:37
IdleOneit could be set to +i and have the "helpers" invite the user. a list of trusted helpers could get access to do invites17:37
Damascenewhether it is -1 or what ever the present situation is miss17:37
IdleOneor have a bot do the invites. !ubottu invite $user17:38
IdleOneand the bot sends a nice message saying hey $user would like you to join #17:38
Damasceneyou can just categorize the problems and have it in groups17:39
Damasceneso interested users and helpers can be there17:39
IdleOnetalk to LjL about metabot and how it works.17:40
DamasceneLjL-Temp, talk to us about metabot, please.17:42
IdleOneoften times we see users ask if the helper can go private. right now what we normally do is !pm | user  we could add to that factoid and suggest #ubuntu-irc-helpers as an alternative to pm. That way there is still peer review insuring that bad advice is not given.17:43
