[02:06] <IdleOne> keep an eye on wolfgang99 he is giving bad advice
[02:07] <IdleOne> hmm wait maybe he wasn't
[04:07] <Gumby> hi all.  I was banned awhile ago for making a joke/comment in the channel I was able to join awhile back, not sure why, but I appear to be banned again.  Is there any way of removing this ban?
[04:57] <IdleOne> Gumby: you still around?
[05:01] <Gumby> IdleOne: yup
[05:01] <IdleOne> Do you recall why you were banned?
[05:02] <Gumby> I made a joke that was offtopic at a point when the channel was dead and talking all offtopic.  perhaps it lacked taste but there was no warning, just BAM!
[05:02] <Gumby> it was months ago so I dont recall the actual comment and I have since bought a new laptop so I dont have the logs.  if necessary I could probably find the log from the old laptop
[05:02] <IdleOne> ok, well the comment was indeed offtopic but it was also crude to say the least.
[05:03] <IdleOne> no need to dig up the log
[05:03] <IdleOne> !guidelines
[05:03] <IdleOne> !CoC
[05:03] <IdleOne> going to ask you to read those links and make sure you are familiar with them
[05:03] <Gumby> sure thing
[05:03] <IdleOne> I will remove the ban in a minute
[05:04] <IdleOne> Let's not have a repeat of last time ok? :)
[05:04] <Gumby> sure thing
[05:04] <IdleOne> can you please join #ubuntu now so we know the ban was removed
[05:05] <Gumby> I am in
[05:05] <Gumby> thank you
[05:05] <IdleOne> ok. thank you.
[05:05] <IdleOne> have a good night/day.
[05:06] <Gumby> you too
[05:06] <IdleOne> cyberix: Anything we can help you with?
[09:16] <juk> ikonia: im in
[09:17] <ikonia> hi juk thanks for joining
[09:17] <sentmen> Can anyone help me?
[09:17] <juk> ikonia: what you have to say to me?
[09:17] <ikonia> I thought it would be easier to talk to you here for 2 minutes than explain how to use the private message system
[09:17] <ikonia> juk: one second please
[09:17] <ikonia> sentmen: what's the issue
[09:17] <ikonia> juk: I just wanted to ask why you called in ops  in #ubuntu+1 as I couldn't see an issue
[09:18] <sentmen> I'm running 10.4 and i can't get an working internet connection
[09:18] <ikonia> sentmen: you need to ask in the channel #ubuntu - why did you join this channel ?
[09:19] <juk> ikonia: oh, now I said first my porblem and then i did !ops to get your atention, coz it's not much people in there and it's kind of inactive
[09:20] <ikonia> juk: ok,  you do know that the !ops call is for emergencies, the operators are there to moderate the channel, not provide support on request
[09:20] <ikonia> juk: you shouldn't use that call/trigger unless there is a genuine issue or emergency
[09:20] <juk> ikonia: oh, i really didn't know that
[09:20] <ikonia> how did you know about the !ops call ?
[09:22] <juk> ikonia: no I know that this !ops thing is causing everyone get kindof buzzed, but never for me, i use irssi, dunno, i saw many people using it in channel but never get it in what cases it can be used?
[09:23] <ikonia> juk: in future, please only use it if there is genuine emergency in the channel, not if you want support
[09:25] <juk> ikonia: I got it, for support i don't call it, so is it used for when trols are coming?
[09:26] <ikonia> that sort of thing
[09:26] <ikonia> thank you
[09:26] <juk> trolls
[09:26] <ikonia> you're welcome to leave and return to #ubuntu, thank you for joining
[10:54] <jussi> ikonia: well done! thanks for explaining to him!
[10:57]  * lhavelund pats ikonia on the back.
[10:58] <lhavelund> ugh, coffee would be nice.
[10:59] <lhavelund> jussi: how's non-bachelorhood?
[11:00]  * jussi hands lhavelund a coffee and muses that bbeing married isnt that different to living with your fiancee - except people treat you slightly different and there is no wedding planning...
[11:00] <lhavelund> heh
[11:00] <lhavelund> thanks, btw.
[12:13] <cyberix> IdleOne: I just downloaded it from a remote machine and that worked
[12:13] <cyberix> IdleOne: I have no idea what went wrong
[12:32] <Pici> whelp, back from a short vacation.
[12:38] <topyli> full of rejuvenated energy for opping!
[15:15]  * jussi zaps Guest8628
[15:15] <jussi> :D
[15:30] <popey> 15:26:54 < dotwaffle> Any chance that this release, we could make an official channel called #ubuntu-release-quiet (or #ubuntu-release-library...) that's moderated up until the release happens? It'd be quite handy.
[15:30] <popey> from #ubuntu-release-party..
[15:30] <popey> I quite like that idea :)
[15:33] <jussi> what is the  purpose of it?
[15:34] <popey> to announce the release without having to sit and watch the crap fly by
[15:34] <popey> to have a channel where you can just idle along with a bunch of other people and know the only thing that will be said is "It's out!" and you can trust it
[15:34] <popey> I suggested...
[15:34] <popey> 15:28:41 < popey> well, we could have a channel that has everyone muted on entrace and have a bot which just looks for https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2010-October/000139.html
[15:35] <popey> because some people just dont like the constant noise that -r-p has, which I appreciate many do!
[15:35] <jussi> popey: Ive no issue with it, but someone needs to write the bot...
[15:36] <jussi> or we could just do it that we allow ubottu to notice everychannel with "its out!!eleventyone!!111" :P :P
[15:37] <popey> heh, that'd get the resources of ubottu reduced significantly as it gets kickbanned from every channel :)
[15:38] <jussi> *G*
[15:38] <jussi> mind, would be simple enough to just op robbie in there and get him to say it when it goes out.
[15:39]  * jussi wonders what Pici topyli and nhandler think?
[15:39] <popey> yup, if you can get the release manager in on that, great!
[15:39] <jussi> popey: slangasek did it every other release in -r-p so why not.
[15:40] <jussi> I wonder what Robbie's irc nick is...
[15:40] <popey> robbiew
[15:40] <jussi> ahh, nice :D
[15:40] <jussi> lemme see what the others say, but Ive no issue with it.
[15:41] <jpds> Surely that's skaet's role nowadays?
[15:41] <jussi> is robbie not release manager anymore?
[15:41] <popey> also riddel
[15:45]  * jussi hasnt kept up with it...
[15:45] <jussi> lag ftw
[15:46] <jussi> yeah, riddell is for kubuntu
[15:51] <Pici> hm.
[16:01] <jussi> Pici: ?
[16:30] <Pici> jussi: We should probably get ubottu or similar in -r-p too
[16:30] <Pici> I'm not sure how I feel about a new release-announce channel, still mulling it over.
[16:32] <Pici> I guess it couldn't hurt, as long as its set +m.
[16:33] <ikonia> 12:45 -!- Irssi: Starting query in freenode with Freak_man
[16:33] <ikonia> 12:45 <Freak_man> you fuck
[16:33] <ikonia> anyone know what this guy was about ?
[16:33] <Pici> oh?
[16:34] <ikonia> just appeared in my message window from a little earlier
[16:34] <IdleOne> hahahahaha
[16:34] <IdleOne> that was to funny
[16:34] <ikonia> that was stupid and careless
[16:34] <Pici> :P
[16:34] <IdleOne> happens
[16:34] <IdleOne> don't be to hard on yourself
[16:35] <ikonia> I was trying to do a last on freakman, but he appeared to join, ask a question then message me with "you fuck"
[16:35] <ikonia> I was /away and idle at the time
[16:35] <Pici> I was just doing a lastlog too
[16:36] <ikonia> xnothing similar in BT, just wondered if he had history
[16:39] <IdleOne> was in query?
[16:40] <ikonia> yup
[16:49] <IdleOne> Morning phillw
[16:50] <phillw> hiyas, I'm real sorry about asking for help that should be RTFM, but I've successfully banned and kicked some one from #lubuntu-offtopic; trouble is I cannot get them back on
[16:50] <IdleOne> hehe
[16:51] <IdleOne> how did you set the ban?
[16:52] <ikonia> #lubuntu-offtopic, this is another offtopic channel
[17:02] <IdleOne> Just for the record there are no RTFM questions
[17:21] <jussi> phillw: best to ask these questions in #ubuntu-irc
[18:43] <st__> someone banned me from #ubuntu? what's going on?
[18:44] <IdleOne> st__: gimme a minute to look it up
[18:46] <IdleOne> looks like it has to do with your repeated off topic chatter in #ubuntu
[18:47] <st__> that's ridiculous, I'm barelly using this channel
[18:47] <IdleOne> ok so when you are using it you are off topic a lot
[18:48] <IdleOne> you are aware of #ubuntu-offtopic ?
[18:49] <st__> yes, but I never started offtipic discussions. why ban me form _support_ channel if some random op want to play thought police?
[18:50] <IdleOne> st__:  on October 2nd you were commenting on how the release date for 10.10 reeks of Soviets
[18:51] <IdleOne> you were also given the !ot factoid by an op and continued to be off topic
[18:53] <IdleOne> That is why you were banned.
[18:55] <IdleOne> st__: are you still here ?
[18:56] <st__> definitely. i want someone to unban meobviously
[18:57] <IdleOne> I understand that but I am not convinced you understand our channel policy
[18:57] <st__> I promise I will stick to technical issues and will not support off topic chat
[18:58] <IdleOne> off topic comments or comments about your dislike of the channel rules are not for #ubuntu. If you can't follow those rules then you can't be in #ubuntu.
[18:59] <IdleOne> st__: I am going to take your word and I will lift the ban. Please familiarize yourself with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines and http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/
[19:00] <IdleOne> Can you please join #ubuntu to make sure the ban has been removed
[19:00] <st__> it was
[19:01] <IdleOne> yeah, your welcome :/
[19:03] <Pici> I knew he was going to be trouble.
[19:04] <IdleOne> I have seen him everyday for at least a week in #u but he hardly ever uses the channel
[19:04] <IdleOne> he does help but always with an attitude...least that is how I read him
[19:16] <IdleOne> Queation: is giving a user !away when they change nick really needed? I understand if they have some away script that announces in channel but just changing from nick to nick|away?
[19:17] <IdleOne> I don't consider it !nickspam either if it is only one nick change every twelve hours or so
[19:33] <Pici> I'm not so sure I like that partybot message.
[19:34] <IdleOne> heh
[19:35] <IdleOne> every release has it's OMG giant security hole hoax
[19:35] <IdleOne> unless that isn't a hoax
[19:35] <IdleOne> then I am upset
[19:38] <Pici> ITs supposed to be a joke.
[19:38] <Pici> I think.
[19:39] <jpds> IT is a joke?
[20:35] <Pici> Feel free to throw !party at people
[20:36] <IdleOne> opening the channel 6 days in advance?
[20:36] <Pici> We usually do.
[20:36] <IdleOne> ahh ok
[20:44] <Seeker`> heh, I still don't have +o in -r-[
[20:44] <Seeker`> -r-p
[20:44] <IdleOne> you don't?
[20:45] <Seeker`> nope
[20:45] <IdleOne> so why you wearing a cinnamon bun hat?>
[20:46] <Seeker`> aha, maybe I do
[22:10] <cccctr> hi
[22:11] <cccctr> [22:29] [474] #kubuntu Cannot join channel (+b) - you are banned
[22:11] <cccctr> WHY?
[22:11] <cccctr> WHAT FOR?
[22:11] <cccctr> FOR WHAT?
[22:15] <cccctr> frands, tell me.... or if I was banned in kubuntu channel you will ignore me here?
[22:18] <Tm_T> patience...
