[00:44] that [00:44] what [00:45] hat [00:45] @ [00:45] sat [00:57] gothenburg has had more than enough warnings for his nonsense. [00:58] bazhang: have he said anything since I warned him? [00:59] Tm_T, earlier today/yesterday he did; he told some user to RTM and called him a noob; I was away eating dinner so missed it. [01:00] just waiting for the next instance [01:00] same, I have him on my hilight [01:03] whoa not a nice translated message === gord_ is now known as gord [01:53] hi is there any reason why #ubuntu remains +r? [01:53] it causes problems for newbies [01:53] no one wants to register to nickserv for quick ubuntu help :D [01:54] dasu: I'm not sure why they did earlier, but it's likely because of spam [01:54] dasu: it isn't always set +r [01:54] it's because of spam [01:54] ok I was just letting you know, as I don't see spam recently annd it's been +r for a while I think [01:55] isn't there bots that auto ban spam? [01:55] auto banning spam is better than limiting all users who need help and dont have nickserv, IMO [01:55] yes, they set +r. Users get sent to #ubuntu-unregged with instructions on how to register and identify [01:55] dasu: that wont stop this kind of spam, unfortunately [01:56] that isn't easy to do and it makes new users think ubuntu is too hard, i think [01:56] dasu: as they spam and go, with numbers [01:56] and it's nice to prevent it, rather than chase it around :( [01:56] if I just downloaded ubuntu and needed irc help, i wouldn't bother to register my nickname here, and would just reinstall windows [01:56] /join; spam; part; [01:56] well idoru klines them [01:56] :] [01:57] dasu: which wont help when they come next round [01:57] sure, after they've spammed. [01:57] +that [01:57] if they are klined they can't spam anymore? [01:57] and spammers can make nickserv accounts, but n00bs wont [01:58] very easy to register and identify and very helpful staff in #freenode [01:58] noobs wont unless they are determined to use ubuntu [01:58] Also, we don't appreciate the term 'n00b' and the like [01:58] they will just reinstall windows [01:59] dasu: We appreciate your concerns but if a new user to Ubuntu really wants to get ubuntu support they will understand the importance of registering [01:59] dasu, never seen it as an issue, to be honest. [01:59] and the reason why we are asking them to do so at this point in time [02:00] dasu: registering to nickerv is no more complicated then having to register for a forum [02:00] lately the spammers have made the channel much less usable. I imagine newer users would have trouble getting help with the spamfloods [02:01] it's also very distracting [02:01] with 12 years on irc I doubt I could get any help in #ubuntu if we didn't set +r [02:03] I see. you just don't want to register [02:10] dasu: you don't see any spam in #ubuntu *because* it is +r [02:10] whatever [02:11] just want the +r removed it is useless imop [02:11] bye [02:11] bye [02:11] that was odd [02:11] not odd ata ll [02:11] at all* [02:11] he likes to argue [02:12] aha [02:13] -NickServ- dasu is not registered. [02:13] guess he does not want big bad freenode having his email [02:19] blendmaster1024, hi [02:19] ... [02:19] how did i get in here? [02:20] all i did was open my client .. [02:20] ban forward I suspect [02:20] why would i ... oh yeah [02:20] * blendmaster1024 rolls his eyes [02:21] that is odd [02:21] him being banned? [02:22] for someone who spent so much time in -ot to refuse to discuss why and how to resolve the ban [02:22] seriously though @comments are so awesomely helpful [03:00] yoplait, hi [03:00] ello [03:00] yoplait, what can we help you with today [03:00] well, i'd like to know what to feed my pet piraƱa. [03:01] yoplait, perhaps try #defocus or #ubuntu-offtopic [03:01] oh [03:01] bazhang: ban evading [03:01] I thought i was in offtopi [03:01] c [03:01] No, no.. [03:01] i'll go away, lol sorry [03:02] ... [03:02] yoplait: welcome back [03:02] haha [03:02] it says im banned from offtopic? [03:02] yoplait: you will continue to be sent here as long as you try to join #ubuntu-offtopic [03:02] I've never been there. [03:02] IdleOne, ban forward, but a pretty broad ban [03:03] what's that? [03:03] yoplait: do you use any other nicknames? [03:03] was my ip area banned or something like that? [03:03] nope this is it [03:03] so far [03:06] funkyHat: ping [03:06] yoplait: give us a few minutes please [03:06] yoplait, uLinux was a previous nick? [03:07] never had that nickname [03:14] IdleOne: hi [03:14] funkyHat, uLinux ban may have caught yoplait [03:14] funkyHat: can you take a look at 26188 [03:14] @btlogin [03:19] yoplait: I've removed the ban, sorry about that. Hopefully the person who was causing problems before won't reappear. [03:21] yoplait: try joining #uubntu-offtopic now [03:21] err [03:21] spell it correctly though :) [03:21] ;) === KB1JWQ_ is now known as KB1JWQ [06:44] In ubottu, IdleOne said: lmgtfy is Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, lmgtfy, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel.

Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [07:11] jussi: I think the repeat of identical command triggers spam prevention or something, I got it to work by doing "no, lmgtfy is..." and then "no lmgtfy is..." (difference of a comma) [07:11] yeah [07:11] that is in there, so sounds right.m [07:11] mornings...

[15:13] polomint: please read the Ubuntu IRC guidelines [15:13] !guidelines [15:13] The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [15:14] if id been abusive then a ban is fine, also ubuntu forums have language. fair enough but i never cussed,,, [15:14] read the section on obfuscating [15:14] you did. 3 times [15:14] this isnt a great way to welcome new users... :( [15:14] sry if i did, its auto for me [15:14] also not a great way for new users to introduce themself [15:15] yes i agree, [15:15] polomint: you doubled it after being asked not to [15:15] do u never auto type? [15:15] like typing lol after someting? [15:15] lol anf F*** is very different [15:16] what a terrible excuse [15:16] cooks. [15:16] so we cant put stars in front of a cuss? [15:16] ok [15:16] Pici: agreed, I will back away from the stove [15:16] IdleOne: :) [15:17] ok, ill not say much again, can i be allowed back in? [15:17] it's up to wonkyHat [15:17] polomint: have you read the guidelines? [15:17] some of them, but its common sense... dont post dodgy links, dont cuss, etc... ok [15:18] i understand [15:19] well? [15:19] Please finish reading them, and then if you agree to follow them I will remove the ban. [15:20] ok, let me check them again... [15:22] Code of Conduct, hard to read, but easier than most.... [15:23] although "#ubuntu is an English language channel. " should be changed, i thought ubuntu was an african term,,, [15:24] Right, but it refers to the fact that people are expected to speak English in the #ubuntu channel itself. Supporting a room with multiple languages would get very difficult, so we have other channels for non-English speakers. [15:25] yes i understand that, i know how hard it is to support multiple langs [15:25] how many langs does ubu work with? forums/irc? [15:26] https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ [15:27] !loco [15:27] Information on Ubuntu Local Community Teams is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeams [15:27] ahh, it seems like u lot know alot... do any of u use mono? is it worth it? ive been looking at code:blocks too [15:27] polomint: this channel is only for resolving bans in #ubuntu* IRC channels, not other discussion [15:28] o ok, but unfortunately i cant get in the normal offtopic channel atm, :( [15:28] polomint: did you finish reading the guidelines? [15:28] yes [15:29] And you agree to follow them? [15:29] hard damn work, but i uderstand, yes [15:29] hard to read i mean [15:30] i like this damn OS, so ill do whatever i need to stay [15:30] drop the damn's also [15:30] please [15:30] * polomint waits for monodevelop to be good [15:30] ok IdleOne , sry [15:31] polomint: the ban is lifted [15:31] ty, sry for the hassle [15:31] it wasnt intended [15:33] polomint: no hard feelings :). If that is all this channel has a no idling policy, so please /part here now. [15:37] polomint is pushing the limits [15:37] ahh your still here [15:37] well that will save you having to join again when you get banned [15:41] polomint, please part the channel here [15:42] part? [15:42] exit? [15:42] type /part [15:42] polomint, type /part [15:42] yes [15:56] I learned a valuable lesson this morning. [15:56] Don't mention -ops in -ot [15:56] :( [15:57] Why not?

[16:30] I need to know procedure to update our #ubuntu-in channel guidelines? how to? what should I do? === wonkyHat is now known as funkyHat [16:30] IdleOne, ^^ [16:31] abhi_nav: I would refer you to #ubuntu-locoteams [16:31] ok [16:31] they will know more then I do on the subject [16:31] yah ok i am there [16:32] abhi_nav, was there anything else you need assistance with? [16:32] bazhang, actualy wait. because if nothing happens there then i still need to be here [16:32] because still nobody reply there [16:33] abhi_nav: not really, this channel is for discussing #ubuntu* bans and such. [16:34] IdleOne, but what is nothing happends there? where do i go? [16:34] abhi_nav: #ubuntu-irc would be more appropriate. [16:34] ok [16:34] abhi_nav: popey just answered you :) [16:34] yah just now [16:34] so i go from here now. [16:34] thank you all. [16:34] what did i do wrong? [16:34] is ubuntu supportative of the gay community??? yes or no [16:34] so far i'm seeing NO [16:35] gay_jesus, that has nothing to do with ubuntu support [16:35] yes it does [16:35] i'm wondering whether or not to switch to it [16:35] and i want to know if ubuntu is supportative of the gay community [16:35] i can now see it isn't [16:35] you're a bunch of homophones [16:36] you're a bunch of homophobes [16:36] gay_jesus: sexual preference has nothing to do with Ubuntu [16:36] i was asking if there were any homosexual coders on the Ubuntu team [16:37] i was banned based upon my sexual preference! [16:37] gay_jesus: probably but who cares [16:37] which has zero to do with ubuntu technical support [16:37] thus offtopic, and highly inflammatory [16:37] that is untrue, because i don't want to run an operating system that is coded by homophobes [16:38] bazhang: you're a homophobe [16:38] Jesus is going to send you to hell [16:38] you too IdleOne [16:38] gay_jesus: Are you finished? [16:38] been there, done that. [16:38] no [16:39] i'm not [16:39] Ubuntu sucks, it's like windows [16:39] but for idiots [16:39] okay then [16:39] you guys are like Microsoft employees [16:39] but without a paycheck [16:39] your operating system sucks, run Debian it's better [16:39] homophobia is offtopic on freenode [16:40] sadness [16:42] Murduk: do you have anything on-topic to disucss here? Please make note of our channel topic. Otherwise, have a nice day. [16:43] Murduk: You can still talk, just only I can see you. [16:45] bots set #ubuntu to -r , is that okay? [16:46] will see [16:46] Probably not. [16:46] oops [16:47] Since the guys here were probably related to the attack, we'll see. [16:48] that was too synchronized to have been a coincidence [16:48] No kidding. [16:48] He was asking me in pm why his friend gay_jesus was being persecuted. [17:08] argh [17:19] Pici: he's fine in -ot [17:19] he means he can't join here [17:19] I can't see a ban on him anymore [17:19] Pici: removed it [17:19] it was removed a short time ago [17:22] x0x now trolling #puppylinux [17:23] #puppylinux/#debian [17:25] I am not sure how his trolling of other linux channels is any of our business but it does show a pattern of trollish behavior [17:25] it not "our" business [17:25] indeed not [17:25] I'm just discussing him to you as individuals [17:25] ahh [17:25] yep [17:25] well then ok [17:25] he says "I love you $distro" in channels, waits a while then says "I love you $wrong_distro" to try to provoke people [17:26] I find it less stressful to ignore him [17:26] it's one of his standard trolls psi_jack in ##linux has tried to get him to stop [17:26] he has a talent at getting under the skin [17:26] I don't care less really, he's not getting back into #ubuntu with this attitude, so it's not a real problem for any of the channels I'm really active in [17:28] I can't tell you all what to do in channels outside our namespace, but I highly suggest not provoking. [17:29] I'm not provoking [17:29] he wants to brag about false certification, he has to be able to back it up [17:31] poor guy in #ubuntu just got killed by the freenode bot for spamming [17:31] I think he just messed up his paste buffer in frustration [17:44] skydrome here again 18:43 < skydrome> HTML: Unable to validate | Takeasy: You need to supply a URI scheme (e.g http) [17:51] erUSUL: sorted [17:51] k [17:51] * erUSUL ciao [17:57] hey jussi, just got your pm and disabled the !html script [17:58] skydrome: any other scripts you have that make noise should be disabled also [17:58] yes sorry, there are no others [17:59] skydrome: no probs, you can rejoin #ubuntu [17:59] thanks [17:59] nice when they are that easy :) [19:45] hi anyone around?

[19:48] I sent a msg, but the only response I got was in +1 [19:48] * tsimpson tries again [19:50] still no response as yet [19:51] even though he's active in another channel...
