[00:44] <Tm_T> that
[00:44] <IdleOne> what
[00:45] <funkyHat>  hat
[00:45] <bazhang> @
[00:45] <IdleOne> sat
[00:57] <bazhang> gothenburg has had more than enough warnings for his nonsense.
[00:58] <Tm_T> bazhang: have he said anything since I warned him?
[00:59] <bazhang> Tm_T, earlier today/yesterday he did; he told some user to RT<fine>M and called him a noob; I was away eating dinner so missed it.
[01:00] <bazhang> just waiting for the next instance
[01:00] <Tm_T> same, I have him on my hilight
[01:03] <bazhang> whoa not a nice translated message
[01:53] <dasu> hi is there any reason why #ubuntu remains +r?
[01:53] <dasu> it causes problems for newbies
[01:53] <dasu> no one wants to register to nickserv for quick ubuntu help :D
[01:54] <h00k> dasu: I'm not sure why they did earlier, but it's likely because of spam
[01:54] <h00k> dasu: it isn't always set +r
[01:54] <Tm_T> it's because of spam
[01:54] <dasu> 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] <dasu> isn't there bots that auto ban spam?
[01:55] <dasu> auto banning spam is better than limiting all users who need help and dont have nickserv, IMO
[01:55] <h00k> yes, they set +r. Users get sent to #ubuntu-unregged with instructions on how to register and identify
[01:55] <Tm_T> dasu: that wont stop this kind of spam, unfortunately
[01:56] <dasu> that isn't easy to do and it makes new users think ubuntu is too hard, i think
[01:56] <Tm_T> dasu: as they spam and go, with numbers
[01:56] <h00k> and it's nice to prevent it, rather than chase it around :(
[01:56] <dasu> 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] <h00k> /join; spam; part;
[01:56] <dasu> well idoru klines them
[01:56] <dasu> :]
[01:57] <Tm_T> dasu: which wont help when they come next round
[01:57] <h00k> sure, after they've spammed.
[01:57] <Tm_T> +that
[01:57] <dasu> if they are klined they can't spam anymore?
[01:57] <dasu> and spammers can make nickserv accounts, but n00bs wont
[01:58] <bazhang> very easy to register and identify and very helpful staff in #freenode
[01:58] <dasu> noobs wont unless they are determined to use ubuntu
[01:58] <h00k> Also, we don't appreciate the term 'n00b' and the like
[01:58] <dasu> they will just reinstall windows
[01:59] <IdleOne> 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] <bazhang> dasu, never seen it as an issue, to be honest.
[01:59] <IdleOne> and the reason why we are asking them to do so at this point in time
[02:00] <IdleOne> dasu: registering to nickerv is no more complicated then having to register for a forum
[02:00] <bazhang> lately the spammers have made the channel much less usable. I imagine newer users would have trouble getting help with the spamfloods
[02:01] <h00k> it's also very distracting
[02:01] <IdleOne> with 12 years on irc I doubt I could get any help in #ubuntu if we didn't set +r
[02:03] <IdleOne> I see. you just don't want to register
[02:10] <Seeker`> dasu: you don't see any spam in #ubuntu *because* it is +r
[02:10] <dasu> whatever
[02:11] <dasu> just want the +r removed it is useless imop
[02:11] <dasu> bye
[02:11] <bazhang> bye
[02:11] <bazhang> that was odd
[02:11] <IdleOne> not odd ata ll
[02:11] <IdleOne> at all*
[02:11] <IdleOne> he likes to argue
[02:12] <bazhang> aha
[02:13] <IdleOne> -NickServ- dasu is not registered.
[02:13] <IdleOne> guess he does not want big bad freenode having his email
[02:19] <bazhang> blendmaster1024, hi
[02:19] <blendmaster1024> ...
[02:19] <blendmaster1024> how did i get in here?
[02:20] <blendmaster1024> all i did was open my client ..
[02:20] <bazhang> ban forward I suspect
[02:20] <blendmaster1024> why would i ... oh yeah
[02:20]  * blendmaster1024 rolls his eyes
[02:21] <IdleOne> that is odd
[02:21] <bazhang> him being banned?
[02:22] <IdleOne> for someone who spent so much time in -ot to refuse to discuss why and how to resolve the ban
[02:22] <IdleOne> seriously though @comments are so awesomely helpful
[03:00] <bazhang> yoplait, hi
[03:00] <yoplait> ello
[03:00] <bazhang> yoplait, what can we help you with today
[03:00] <yoplait> well, i'd like to know what to feed my pet piraña.
[03:01] <bazhang> yoplait, perhaps try #defocus or #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:01] <yoplait> oh
[03:01] <IdleOne> bazhang: ban evading
[03:01] <yoplait> I thought i was in offtopi
[03:01] <yoplait> c
[03:01] <yoplait> No, no..
[03:01] <yoplait> i'll go away, lol sorry
[03:02] <yoplait> ...
[03:02] <IdleOne> yoplait: welcome back
[03:02] <yoplait> haha
[03:02] <yoplait> it says im banned from offtopic?
[03:02] <IdleOne> yoplait: you will continue to be sent here as long as you try to join #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:02] <yoplait> I've never been there.
[03:02] <bazhang> IdleOne, ban forward, but a pretty broad ban
[03:03] <yoplait> what's that?
[03:03] <IdleOne> yoplait: do you use any other nicknames?
[03:03] <yoplait> was my ip area banned or something like that?
[03:03] <yoplait> nope this is it
[03:03] <yoplait> so far
[03:06] <IdleOne> funkyHat: ping
[03:06] <IdleOne> yoplait: give us a few minutes please
[03:06] <bazhang> yoplait, uLinux was a previous nick?
[03:07] <yoplait> never had that nickname
[03:14] <funkyHat> IdleOne: hi
[03:14] <bazhang> funkyHat, uLinux ban may have caught yoplait
[03:14] <IdleOne> funkyHat: can you take a look at  26188
[03:14] <funkyHat> @btlogin
[03:19] <funkyHat> yoplait: I've removed the ban, sorry about that. Hopefully the person who was causing problems before won't reappear.
[03:21] <IdleOne> yoplait: try joining #uubntu-offtopic now
[03:21] <IdleOne> err
[03:21] <IdleOne> spell it correctly though :)
[03:21] <funkyHat> ;)
[06:53] <bazhang> should be !no factoid is <reply> etc etc
[06:55] <IdleOne> !no lmgtfy is <reply> Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, lmgtfy, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.
[06:55] <IdleOne> better :)
[07:02] <jussi> !google
[07:02] <jussi> IdleOne: perhaps !lmgtfy is <alias>google ?
[07:03] <Flannel> I think that'd be more appropriate
[07:03] <IdleOne> sounds good
[07:07] <jussi> !lmgtfy is <alias>google
[07:07] <jussi> !lmgtfy
[07:07] <jussi> !-lmgtfy
[07:07] <jussi> !no lmgtfy is <alias>google
[07:07] <jussi> !no lmgtfy is <alias>google
[07:07] <jussi> better like that methinks
[07:08] <jussi> !lmgtfy
[07:08] <Flannel> !lmgtfy
[07:08] <jussi> lol
[07:08] <jussi> !no lmgtfy is <alias>google
[07:08] <jussi> !no lmgtfy is <alias>google
[07:08] <jussi> hrr
[07:08] <jussi> I figure it out later. too early in the morning
[07:08] <Flannel> I've always gotta massage alias modifications too, no idea why
[07:08] <IdleOne> I still think the acronym lmgtfy should be added to the !noob factoid
[07:10] <Flannel> !lmgtfy
[07:11] <Flannel> 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] <jussi> yeah
[07:11] <jussi> that is in there, so sounds right.m
[07:11] <jussi> mornings...
[07:11] <Flannel> Interesting that even without the change it triggers a touch of the factoid
 Is there rules against flooding in #ubuntu-bots?
[08:56] <bazhang> nice answer tsimpson :)
[08:56] <tsimpson> well, it's the truth ;)
[09:01]  * tsimpson suspects he's not going to remain in a good mood for much longer
[09:28] <rocket16> Hello hon'ble operators,
[09:28] <rocket16> I have a question,
[09:29] <rocket16> How to add more info to the database of Ubutto?
[09:29] <rocket16> And are we allowed to do so?
[09:32] <rocket16> Did I ask anything wrong?
[09:47] <rocket16> Anybody here?
[09:47] <rocket16> Have I been quieted?
[11:04] <bazhang> IdleOne, you called it on dasu
[11:11] <marienz> hmm? now what did he do
[11:12] <knome> mneptok, if i am correct, i am not authorized :P
[11:30] <jpds> Is smallfoot- suppose to be in #u?
[11:34] <bazhang> marienz, arguing in here earlier that #ubuntu should not be +r, then in #freenode that user should be -i so he can stalk them more easily
[11:35] <bazhang> jpds, just banned in #ubuntu+1 and -offtopic
[11:36] <bazhang> he wanted there to be a #ubuntu-whining channel
[11:36] <jpds> Nice.
[11:37] <jussi> /mode #ubuntu-whining +if #ubuntu-offtopic :P :P
[11:39] <jussi> hello LjL
[11:39] <LjL> hey there are some users in #ubuntu-unregged which seem clearly part of a botnet. dunno if staff would like to check them out
[11:39] <LjL> hi jussi
[11:39] <jussi> marienz: ^^
[11:40] <LjL> at least I9fN5mE95e4xAt  hNjM3om9RgNnrk0N LyCOnIPnDf  eYWW8ChD
[11:41] <marienz> any others?
[11:46] <jussi> marienz: he said thank you :)
[11:47] <marienz> jussi: I saw (see #-unreg itself)
[14:57] <IdleOne> Morning
[15:00] <funkyHat> Hello!
[15:00] <Pici> Aloha
[15:06] <jpds> Olaho.
[15:12] <Pici> wonkyHat: incoming
[15:12] <polomint> hi
[15:12] <wonkyHat> Hi polomint
[15:13] <polomint> what the hell is going on?
[15:13] <wonkyHat> polomint: please read the Ubuntu IRC guidelines
[15:13] <wonkyHat> !guidelines
[15:14] <polomint> if id been abusive then a ban is fine, also ubuntu forums have language. fair enough but i never cussed,,,
[15:14] <IdleOne> read the section on obfuscating
[15:14] <IdleOne> you did. 3 times
[15:14] <polomint> this isnt a great way to welcome new users... :(
[15:14] <polomint> sry if i did, its auto for me
[15:14] <IdleOne> also not a great way for new users to introduce themself
[15:15] <polomint> yes i agree,
[15:15] <topyli> polomint: you doubled it after being asked not to
[15:15] <polomint> do u never auto type?
[15:15] <polomint> like typing lol after someting?
[15:15] <IdleOne> lol anf F*** is very different
[15:16] <topyli> what a terrible excuse
[15:16] <Pici> cooks.
[15:16] <polomint> so we cant put stars in front of a cuss?
[15:16] <polomint> ok
[15:16] <IdleOne> Pici: agreed, I will back away from the stove
[15:16] <Pici> IdleOne: :)
[15:17] <polomint> ok, ill not say much again, can i be allowed back in?
[15:17] <IdleOne> it's up to wonkyHat
[15:17] <wonkyHat> polomint: have you read the guidelines?
[15:17] <polomint> some of them, but its common sense... dont post dodgy links, dont cuss, etc... ok
[15:18] <polomint> i understand
[15:19] <polomint> well?
[15:19] <wonkyHat> Please finish reading them, and then if you agree to follow them I will remove the ban.
[15:20] <polomint> ok, let me check them again...
[15:22] <polomint> Code of Conduct, hard to read, but easier than most....
[15:23] <polomint> although "#ubuntu is an English language channel. " should be changed, i thought ubuntu was an african term,,,
[15:24] <wonkyHat> 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] <polomint> yes i understand that, i know how hard it is to support multiple langs
[15:25] <polomint> how many langs does ubu work with? forums/irc?
[15:26] <IdleOne> https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/
[15:27] <Pici> !loco
[15:27] <polomint> 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] <wonkyHat> polomint: this channel is only for resolving bans in #ubuntu* IRC channels, not other discussion
[15:28] <polomint> o ok, but unfortunately i cant get in the normal offtopic channel atm, :(
[15:28] <wonkyHat> polomint: did you finish reading the guidelines?
[15:28] <polomint> yes
[15:29] <wonkyHat> And you agree to follow them?
[15:29] <polomint> hard damn work, but i uderstand, yes
[15:29] <polomint> hard to read i mean
[15:30] <polomint> i like this damn OS, so ill do whatever i need to stay
[15:30] <IdleOne> drop the damn's also
[15:30] <IdleOne> please
[15:30]  * polomint waits for monodevelop to be good
[15:30] <polomint> ok IdleOne , sry
[15:31] <wonkyHat> polomint: the ban is lifted
[15:31] <polomint> ty, sry for the hassle
[15:31] <polomint> it wasnt intended
[15:33] <wonkyHat> polomint: no hard feelings :). If that is all this channel has a no idling policy, so please /part here now.
[15:37] <IdleOne> polomint is pushing the limits
[15:37] <IdleOne> ahh your still here
[15:37] <IdleOne> well that will save you having to join again when you get banned
[15:41] <bazhang> polomint, please part the channel here
[15:42] <polomint> part?
[15:42] <polomint> exit?
[15:42] <IdleOne> type /part
[15:42] <gord> polomint, type /part
[15:42] <bazhang> yes
[15:56] <IdleOne> I learned a valuable lesson this morning.
[15:56] <IdleOne> Don't mention -ops in -ot
[15:56] <IdleOne> :(
[15:57] <jpds> Why not?
[15:57] <bazhang> the ongoing discussion in -ot that followed
[15:57] <IdleOne> it's like I set fire to a gas station
[16:30] <abhi_nav> hello guys here I am again :)
[16:30] <bazhang> abhi_nav, hi
[16:30] <abhi_nav> hi
[16:30] <IdleOne> what's up
[16:30] <IdleOne> ?
[16:30] <abhi_nav> I need to know procedure to update our #ubuntu-in channel guidelines? how to? what should I do?
[16:30] <abhi_nav> IdleOne, ^^
[16:31] <IdleOne> abhi_nav: I would refer you to #ubuntu-locoteams
[16:31] <abhi_nav> ok
[16:31] <IdleOne> they will know more then I do on the subject
[16:31] <abhi_nav> yah ok i am there
[16:32] <bazhang> abhi_nav, was there anything else you need assistance with?
[16:32] <abhi_nav> bazhang, actualy wait. because if nothing happens there then i still need to be here
[16:32] <abhi_nav> because still nobody reply there
[16:33] <IdleOne> abhi_nav: not really, this channel is for discussing #ubuntu* bans and such.
[16:34] <abhi_nav> IdleOne, but what is nothing happends there? where do i go?
[16:34] <Pici> abhi_nav: #ubuntu-irc would be more appropriate.
[16:34] <abhi_nav> ok
[16:34] <IdleOne> abhi_nav: popey just answered you :)
[16:34] <abhi_nav> yah just now
[16:34] <abhi_nav> so i go from here now.
[16:34] <abhi_nav> thank you all.
[16:34] <gay_jesus> what did i do wrong?
[16:34] <gay_jesus> is ubuntu supportative of the gay community??? yes or no
[16:34] <gay_jesus> so far i'm seeing NO
[16:35] <bazhang> gay_jesus, that has nothing to do with ubuntu support
[16:35] <gay_jesus> yes it does
[16:35] <gay_jesus> i'm wondering whether or not to switch to it
[16:35] <gay_jesus> and i want to know if ubuntu is supportative of the gay community
[16:35] <gay_jesus> i can now see it isn't
[16:35] <gay_jesus> you're a bunch of homophones
[16:36] <gay_jesus> you're a bunch of homophobes
[16:36] <IdleOne> gay_jesus: sexual preference has nothing to do with Ubuntu
[16:36] <gay_jesus> i was asking if there were any homosexual coders on the Ubuntu team
[16:37] <gay_jesus> i was banned based upon my sexual preference!
[16:37] <IdleOne> gay_jesus: probably but who cares
[16:37] <bazhang> which has zero to do with ubuntu technical support
[16:37] <bazhang> thus offtopic, and highly inflammatory
[16:37] <gay_jesus> that is untrue, because i don't want to run an operating system that is coded by homophobes
[16:38] <gay_jesus> bazhang: you're a homophobe
[16:38] <gay_jesus> Jesus is going to send you to hell
[16:38] <gay_jesus> you too IdleOne
[16:38] <Pici> gay_jesus: Are you finished?
[16:38] <IdleOne> been there, done that.
[16:38] <gay_jesus> no
[16:39] <gay_jesus> i'm not
[16:39] <gay_jesus> Ubuntu sucks, it's like windows
[16:39] <gay_jesus> but for idiots
[16:39] <bazhang> okay then
[16:39] <gay_jesus> you guys are like Microsoft employees
[16:39] <gay_jesus> but without a paycheck
[16:39] <gay_jesus> your operating system sucks, run Debian it's better
[16:39] <Murduk> homophobia is offtopic on freenode
[16:40] <IdleOne> sadness
[16:42] <Pici> Murduk: do you have anything on-topic to disucss here? Please make note of our channel topic.  Otherwise, have a nice day.
[16:43] <Pici> Murduk: You can still talk, just only I can see you.
[16:45] <bazhang> bots set #ubuntu to -r , is that okay?
[16:46] <IdleOne> will see
[16:46] <Pici> Probably not.
[16:46] <Pici> oops
[16:47] <Pici> Since the guys here were probably related to the attack, we'll see.
[16:48] <bazhang> that was too synchronized to have been a coincidence
[16:48] <Pici> No kidding.
[16:48] <Pici> He was asking me in pm why his friend gay_jesus was being persecuted.
[17:08] <bazhang> argh
[17:19] <ikonia> Pici: he's fine in -ot
[17:19] <bazhang> he means he can't join here
[17:19] <ikonia> I can't see a ban on him anymore
[17:19] <IdleOne> Pici: removed it
[17:19] <bazhang> it was removed a short time ago
[17:22] <ikonia> x0x now trolling #puppylinux
[17:23] <ikonia> #puppylinux/#debian
[17:25] <IdleOne> 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] <ikonia> it not "our" business
[17:25] <bazhang> indeed not
[17:25] <ikonia> I'm just discussing him to you as individuals
[17:25] <IdleOne> ahh
[17:25] <bazhang> yep
[17:25] <IdleOne> well then ok
[17:25] <ikonia> 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] <IdleOne> I find it less stressful to ignore him
[17:26] <ikonia> it's one of his standard trolls psi_jack in ##linux has tried to get him to stop
[17:26] <IdleOne> he has a talent at getting under the skin
[17:26] <ikonia> 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] <Pici> I can't tell you all what to do in channels outside our namespace, but I highly suggest not provoking.
[17:29] <ikonia> I'm not provoking
[17:29] <ikonia> he wants to brag about false certification, he has to be able to back it up
[17:31] <ikonia> poor guy in #ubuntu just got killed by the freenode bot for spamming
[17:31] <ikonia> I think he just messed up his paste buffer in frustration
[17:44] <erUSUL> skydrome here again 18:43 < skydrome> HTML: Unable to validate | Takeasy: You need to supply a URI scheme (e.g http)
[17:51] <jussi> erUSUL: sorted
[17:51] <erUSUL> k
[17:51]  * erUSUL ciao
[17:57] <skydrome> hey jussi, just got your pm and disabled the !html script
[17:58] <jussi> skydrome: any other scripts you have that make noise should be disabled also
[17:58] <skydrome> yes sorry, there are no others
[17:59] <jussi> skydrome: no probs, you can rejoin #ubuntu
[17:59] <skydrome> thanks
[17:59] <jussi> nice when they are that easy :)
[19:45] <shadeslayer> hi anyone around?
[19:45] <shadeslayer> need to report a nick Z-RAY
[19:45] <shadeslayer> he is asking support questions in non support channels
[19:46] <Pici> shadeslayer: Which other channels?
[19:46] <shadeslayer> Pici: #kubuntu-bugs
[19:46] <shadeslayer> #ubuntu-packaging , #kubuntu-devel
[19:46] <shadeslayer> to name a few...
[19:47] <Pici> shadeslayer: meh, thanks.
[19:47] <shadeslayer> cross posting :)
[19:47] <Pici> shadeslayer: not 'meh' to you ;)
[19:47] <shadeslayer> of course :P
[19:47] <shadeslayer> ok ciao then
[19:47] <Pici> tsimpson: You mentioned muting him somewhere, were you talking to him in pm?
[19:48] <tsimpson> I sent a msg, but the only response I got was in +1
[19:48]  * tsimpson tries again
[19:50] <tsimpson> still no response as yet
[19:51] <tsimpson> even though he's active in another channel...
[19:59] <tsimpson> I got some response now, but they are having difficulty understanding that channels have topics
[20:14] <mneptok> anyone here use OpenBSD on Mac68K? i have some MacOS 7.5 chainload questions ...
[20:14]  * mneptok runs
[20:16]  * gnomefreak never had good luck with bsd ever
