[00:01] <m4v> looks like freenode changed webchat cloaks to show the user's ip
[00:02] <rww> yup. tomaw sent out a wallop about it
[00:03] <rww> 1459 [freenode] -!- WALLOP tomaw:  Hi, we just experimentally changed how we're cloaking users of freenodes own webchat. You should now see their hostname as gateway/web/freenode/ip.<clientIP> which will make client /ban type commands work better as well as ChanServ's QUIET command.  If you have any feedback please let us know in #freenode! Thanks!
[00:08] <m4v> if its made permanent couldn't the policy of webchat users be revised?
[00:08] <m4v> it's*
[03:05] <micahg> we're missing a bot in #ubuntu-chicago
[03:23] <rww> micahg: logbot or factoidbot?
[03:23] <micahg> rww: factoid
[03:24] <rww> jussi, tsimpson ^^^ looks like it should be lubotu1
[09:13] <tsimpson> m4v: what did you mean by "if its made permanent couldn't the policy of webchat users be revised?"?
[11:39] <m4v> tsimpson: I mean If sending them to -proxy-users will be still necessary.
[11:45] <tsimpson> m4v: why would that be different?
[11:46] <tsimpson> their IP has always be encoded in to the ident, this just makes banning and determining the real IP easier
[11:49] <m4v> I thought that the reason for using -proxy-users was due to the difficult of banning them.
[11:56] <tsimpson> not so much, the floodbots actually ban by IP when you remove a webchat user
[11:57] <tsimpson> when a webchat user joins -proxy-users the floodbots check if the real IP is banned in the channel, that helps stop people using proxies to get around bans
[11:57] <tsimpson> the change in the hostmask doesn't change that part
[12:36] <m4v> tsimpson: kk
[15:26] <sjltaylor> Hello, I've come here to get an IP cloak. Can anyone help?
[15:28] <erUSUL> !nicksetup
[15:28] <erUSUL> sjltaylor: paste your launchpad url here
[15:31] <sjltaylor> https://launchpad.net/~sjltaylor
[15:32] <erUSUL> page not found ...
[15:33] <erUSUL> maybe you use another nickname in LP ?
[15:33] <sjltaylor> is that url of the form you would expect
[15:33] <sjltaylor> ?
[15:33] <erUSUL> yes; are you ubuntu memeber? do you have an account in launchpad ?
[15:34] <Pici> The former is required for the latter.
[15:34]  * erUSUL confused
[15:34] <sjltaylor> yes, I just signed up so that I could log into the forums
[15:34] <Pici> sjltaylor: Ubuntu Members need to be approved by their Regional Membership Boards or other Ubuntu Teams.
[15:34] <Pici> !member | sjltaylor
[15:34] <erUSUL> sjltaylor: then you are not probably an ubuntu member...
[15:35] <erUSUL> sjltaylor: you can request an unaffiliated cloak such as mine in #freenode channel
[15:35] <Pici> sjltaylor: If you'd like an unaffiliated cloak, the staffers in #freenode should be able to help you :)
[15:35] <Pici> erUSUL: you're not a member yet?
[15:35] <erUSUL> Pici: never applied.
[15:35] <Pici> hrm.
[15:35] <sjltaylor> no. thanks!
[17:44] <MTecknology> popey: "leaky screwdriver" ??
[17:51] <popey> yes
[17:51] <popey> makes sense in context :)
[17:51] <popey> "A bad analogy is like a leaky screwdriver"
[17:52] <popey> ^^ this is a bad analogy in and of itself
[18:02] <MTecknology> popey: OH!
