[05:50] <maco> apparently the t in qpt` is "troll"
[05:54] <maco> seems to be a bot. banned for unauthorised bots on the channel
[05:55] <maco> hmm gentoo ops say they think he's a non-bot with a client that has an extremely annoying script
[06:35] <jussi> maco: client + script = bot.
[06:35] <jussi> maco: best you make it a banforward to here, if possible (it was in #u, right?)
[06:35] <maco> fair nuff
[06:35] <maco> yes it was
[06:38] <maco> jussi: its not liking my syntax
[06:38] <jussi> maco: what are you giving it?
[06:38] <maco>  qpt`!~qpt@70.134.61.130$#ubuntu-ops   <-- right?
[06:38] <jussi> yeah, but set it to *!*@
[06:39] <maco> hrm
[06:39] <maco> *shrug*
[06:39] <maco> that worked
[06:39] <jussi> the ` may have affected it
[07:00] <knome> jussi, @btlogin
[07:04] <jussi> knome: I need to consult with tsimpson, and he has been somewhat busy, so We will get there soon. any particular hurry?
[07:09] <mneptok> down there they're rounding a posse to ride.
[07:13] <knome> jussi, no, not really.
[07:37] <mneptok> FYI, i have asked ActionParsnip *muerous* times to not spam the channel with "yo yo yo" when he /joins. he stopped for a while, but has done it again recently.
[07:39] <mneptok> numerous, even
[07:39] <mneptok> he says he did it as a one-off "for old times' sake"
[07:39] <mneptok> *sigh*
[13:01] <ikonia> hi ericblair
[13:02] <ericblair> well i want to ask a differnt question and you banned me
[13:02] <ericblair> why
[13:02] <ikonia> I've not banned you, I've put a temporary forward on you to this channel, as you keep throwing tantrums and storming out of the channel
[13:02] <ericblair> i do not 'throw tantrums'
[13:03] <ikonia> you make a parting comment and then quit the channel
[13:03] <ericblair> if i ask a question here you will say 'this is not a support channel'
[13:03] <ikonia> you've done it twice
[13:03] <ericblair> how long am i banned for i will not do it again
[13:03] <ericblair> how do you stop a bash shell having a transparent background
[13:03] <ikonia> yes, this isnt a support channel, as I've explained, I've forwarded you here to talk to you about claming down in the #ubuntu channel
[13:03] <ikonia> yet you've just asked a support question after I told you not to
[13:03] <ericblair> ?
[13:03] <ikonia> so I'm going to leave this conversation alone
[13:04] <ericblair> am i unbanned so i can get my questions maybe answered or not
[13:04] <ericblair> i promise to behave etc
[13:04] <ikonia> no
[13:04] <ericblair> not criticise -
[13:04] <ikonia> no etc
[13:04] <ericblair> when can i can be unbanned
[13:04] <ikonia> you've just shown you can't follow simple instructions
[13:05] <ericblair> so i'm banned forever from #ubuntu?
[13:05] <ikonia> I forwaded you here just to talk to you about calming down, I told you it's not a support channel here, and you still asked support questions
[13:05] <ikonia> ericblair: no, just until you clam down and can listen to people trying to help you
[13:05] <ericblair> can i possibly be unbanned today
[13:05] <ericblair> i am calm
[13:06] <ikonia> you've not, you've just stormed out of ubuntu, and you've just ignored what I said in this channel
[13:06] <ikonia> that's not going to get you back into #ubuntu
[13:06] <ericblair> what do i have to do to get back into #ubuntu
[13:06] <ikonia> (I've already said) listen to what people are saying to  you, and clam down
[13:06] <ikonia> calm
[13:06] <ikonia> clam
[13:08] <ikonia> take a break for the day from the support channel, and just have a think about how to keep calm in a channel and maybe pay a little more attention when people are talking to you/trying to help you
[13:08] <ericblair> ok
[13:08] <ikonia> this was only going to be a 30 second conversation, but you've really annoyed me by asking support questions in here after I told you it's not a support channel 10 seconds earlier
[13:09] <ericblair> if you look back i asked the question before you said that
[13:09] <ikonia> you didnt
[13:09] <ericblair> i will not argue
[13:10] <ikonia> BT updated
[13:13] <jpds> He is connecting from btcentralplus, yes.
[13:14] <ikonia> bravo, clever
[13:36] <Pici> forked is confused.
[13:36] <bazhang> or .. well yes
[13:49] <marienz> well, questions about ubuntu-as-a-server go to #ubuntu-server, about x to #ubuntu-x, about running an ircd to #ubuntu-irc. Makes sense to me! :P
[13:49] <bazhang> hehe
[13:50] <bazhang> or banforward to #freenode !!
[13:50] <Pici> bazhang: You mean to #irc which forwards to #freenode
[13:50]  * marienz noddles
[13:51] <marienz> making #freenode +F might be odd, but making things like #help +F arguably makes sense (and they in turn forward to #freenode)
[13:51] <bazhang> Pici, nice!
[13:51] <marienz> so yeah
[13:52] <jussi> marienz: so its kosher for us to banforward to #help?
[13:52] <marienz> I don't think it actually *is* +F
[13:52] <marienz> but you could make an argument that perhaps it should be
[13:53] <jussi> ahh
[13:53] <marienz> yeah, no +F there
[13:53] <marienz> sorry!
[13:54] <Pici> Awww
[13:55] <elky> I suppose the council will veto #ubuntu-are-you-even-paying-attention too :(
[14:46] <jpds> Why can't I whois 2001:5c0::/32
[14:52] <Pici> jpds: You mean /who ?
[17:08] <IdleOne> I have removed lucy_ a couple times in the past for being offtopic and random
[18:21] <ikonia> ericblair: can you please leave this channel
[18:21] <ericblair> why i was hoping you could help me with my problem
[18:21] <ericblair> why do i have to leave the channel
[18:22] <ikonia> ericblair: because this isn't a support channel as I told you earlier
[18:22] <ikonia> and this channel has a non-idle policy
[18:49] <ikonia> @mark #ubuntu-ops ericblair no longer using ubuntu, in #fedora displaying sys info for Fedora and comaplining of the same problem
[18:58] <ikonia> @mark #ubuntu-ops ericblair ranting in PM about ubuntu failing him (even though it's broke in Fedora too) and ranting that he's wasted money thanks to ubuntu. I suspect attitude is a troll
[20:12] <Pici> I don't know what to do about greeper/grepper/grexo/etc
[20:13] <IdleOne> good question
[20:13] <IdleOne> keep banning?
[20:17] <knome> ban gre*!*@* ? :P
[20:55] <Pici> hrm
[21:21] <topyli> ljl, right
[21:21] <topyli> boo
[23:12] <IdleOne> this command is dangerous? rm -rf A/
[23:15] <jpds> IdleOne: What's in "A/" ?
[23:15] <IdleOne> jpds: was a command I saw given to a user in #u
[23:16] <IdleOne> A/Files/popstation.dll': Input/output error
[23:16] <IdleOne> not sure what that is but the user seems to want to delete whatever is in there
