ubottudasKreech called the ops in #kubuntu ()00:42
nhandlerYeah, that was against me for cleaning the ban list00:52
nhandlerNot much I can do, it will be a noisy evening00:52
niko> feel free to !ops nhandler is spamming modes00:53
* nhandler slaps niko around a bit ;)00:54
nikocs clear ?01:07
jribnow let's see it in #ubuntu!01:08
nikonhandler: you win, i disabled my trigger01:08
nikoyour script seems to be broken01:10
nikomost of them are removed long time ago01:10
* elky looks at some of the unbans and blinks.01:11
nhandlerniko: No, just the bans without comments01:12
nhandlerjrib: I'm not looking forward to that01:12
nhandler:)01:12
nhandlerniko: Yep. The BT had a lot of stale data (/me hopes ubottu updates based on these unbans)01:13
nikonhandler: you can't force it to do mode +b and remove/flag  them ?01:14
jribnhandler: if possible, you can save /some/ space by doing -bbbb unban1 unban2 unban3 unban401:14
PiciI have a bash script that will take a file with one ban per line and turn it into a bunch of /mode -bbbb statements01:31
elkyAlthough, I'm looking and going "suck that, logwatchers"01:33
elkyexcept it wont show up :(01:34
h00kPici: I tried to use that one day and I failed :)01:44
ubottuxangua called the ops in #ubuntu (echo310infantry)02:22
h00kwhy am I so laggy :|02:22

IdleOnechien is very close to being banned for good.02:29
nikohis isp uses dynamic ip02:30
IdleOneI'll ban chien*!*@*02:31
ubottuFloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (repeated abuse from chien)02:39
tonyyarussoQuestion for those folks who are also freenode staff or have been through the GRF process - do you get a chanserv notice or something when you get set as the founder of a channel?04:04
tonyyarussoholy unbans batman04:04
tonyyarusso...  why were there bans on ops in the ops channel?  :S04:05
Flanneltonyyarusso: We ban Amaranth every once in a while for yucks.04:06
tonyyarussoFlannel: and Myrtti, LjL, bazhang, ikonia, and jussi01?04:08
AmaranthPlease ping me before you do #ubuntu, I want to watch04:08
Flannelthat jussi01 is a troublemaker!04:08
Amaranthnhandler: ^04:08
nhandlerA lot of the unbans/unquiets were simply due to some outdated stuff in the BT. I'm not going to do #ubuntu, +1, or -ot until tomorrow04:10
nhandlertonyyarusso: I do not believe so. But you will get notified when the GRF gets processed04:11
tonyyarussonhandler: Ah, all righty.04:12
tonyyarusso(All the paperwork should be done - just have to wait for toma*w to read his mail and we're good to go - yay!04:13
tonyyarusso)04:13
Jordan_UI'm not sure if root_ in #ubuntu is just confused, but he has two nicks (same ip) and so far has only said "THE_SEEKER_001".05:51
Madpilotikonia, p_________'s obscenity-laced exit flounce a while ago should probably have earned a ban, TBH.10:08
ikoniagone10:08
ikoniais #ubuntu-installer16:00
ikoniaan official channel ?16:00
gordi didn't think you could get #ubuntu namespace channels at all without some sort of authentication16:02
ikoniait may be official and I just don't know about it16:02
ikoniahence asking16:02
ikoniayou can get them, didn't think you could keep them16:02
ikonia@btlogin16:08
ikoniawhats the !info flag for version specific packages16:09
charlie-tca  !info <release> <package>16:17
ubottu'<package>' is not a valid distribution: hardy, hardy-backports, hardy-proposed, jaunty, jaunty-backports, jaunty-proposed, karmic, karmic-backports, karmic-proposed, kubuntu-backports, kubuntu-experimental, kubuntu-updates, lucid, lucid-backports, lucid-proposed, maverick, maverick-backports, maverick-proposed, medibuntu, partner, stable, testing, unstable16:17
charlie-tcawell, anyway, that is the right line16:17
ikoniagot it16:19
ikoniasorry should have said sooner, I was playing with ubottu in pm16:19
Pici@help info16:20
ubottu(info <package> [<release>]) -- Lookup information for <package>, optionally in <release>16:20
charlie-tcasure, anybody could have done it that way...16:21
* charlie-tca didn't really know about that, though16:21
PiciIts handy16:22
ubottuIn ubottu, karthick87 said: !beer is Beer is a tasty beverage!17:04
ikoniaubottu: tell karthick87 please don't create pointless factoids17:04
ubottuError: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)17:04
ikoniarubbish17:04
ActionParsniphi guys17:25
ActionParsnipis tor supported in #ubuntu? It's not in the official repos...17:25
IdleOneheya17:25
IdleOneumm, I don't think it is17:26
ActionParsnipme neither, worth an ask17:26
IdleOnewe have the factoid but it points to using tor to connect to freenode17:26
IdleOneActionParsnip: there is a #tor you can point them to I guess17:27
ubottuFloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (zaytsev appears to be abusive - 4)17:29
alabdGood day all , my user is banned from months ago , when will it be freed17:30
ikoniaalabd: when we have confidence you can follow the channel rules17:34
evilmquinnhandler: are you happy with doing this now?17:59
nhandlerevilmquin: Yep17:59
* popey notes alabd has been annoying people in ubuntu-users recently with his opening "praise be" type mails18:01
evilmquinI'll +m the channel while I'm doing it - it's not going to be espeically usable for a couple of minutes anyway18:01
Seveaswhat the fuck is evilmquin doing?18:03
Seveas#ubuntu18:03
IdleOneclearing old bans without comments18:03
IdleOnealso you know the language rules dude18:03
jribnhandler: IT IS HAPPENING18:04
nhandlerjrib: Yep18:04
* Pici dances18:04
Seveasfloodbots don't like it :)18:04
ikoniawell, the *!*@bzshells ban I placed has just been removed even though I commented it18:04
knomeo'rly18:04
PiciSeveas: Actually that was because of something that happened elsewhere.18:04
Seveasalso, why muted?18:05
ikoniastop people asking "what's going on" I guess18:05
PiciYes.18:05
ikoniapopey: thanks for the heads up on alabd18:05
PiciAlso I can't imagine getting anything done during that spam.18:05
Seveasthen why didn't you just explain it beforehand?18:05
PiciHe did announce it.18:06
Seveasmust have gotten lost in the noise...18:06
tsimpson|n800Seveas: do you really think that would stop people from reacting?18:06
popey"18:02:23 <@evilmquin> Things are going to get a bit noisy for a couple of minutes, folks - please bear with us18:06
popeythat is some _considerable_ distance from being an explanation IMO18:06
ikoniawow, best put limcore and iraqi back on the list18:06
* ikonia is making notes18:06
Seveaspopey, like halfway around the world :)18:07
popeyperhaps changing the /topic might have been prudent?18:07
IdleOneikonia: looks like we are going to be busy for the next few days :/18:07
tsimpson|n800ikonia: the bt database isn't perfect, we fully expect some bans to be put back18:07
popeyhindsight 20/20 vision etc18:07
ikoniatsimpson|n800: it's not a problem, I caught them, they are back18:08
Piciikonia: Please be sure to comment on those bans.18:08
nhandlerpopey: The whole thing only takes a minute or two18:08
popeynhandler: irrelavent18:08
ikoniaPici: I shall re-comment them18:08
Picipopey: You're right, we should have made a better announcement about it.18:08
popeynhandler: you know what was happening - over a thousand other irc clients did not.18:08
Seveasalso, time to leave that channel now I guess, trolls will have a feast :)18:09
tsimpson|n800Pici: I suspect there are some bans set more than once (that the bot didn't see removed), some of those without comments...18:09
IdleOnefor two minutes people got a little confused but they got a show18:09
popeyanyway, it's all done now, thanks for the work you guys have done clearing that up, and good luck over the next few days :S18:09
ikoniaSeveas: which one ?18:09
Picitsimpson|n800: I have a feeling that may have happened as well.18:09
Seveasikonia, I saw syf for instance18:09
ikoniaahh yes, I did have a comment on him also as I removed him once and you made me aware18:10
jribreason for +r still?18:10
evilmquinone of the floodbots set that18:10
tsimpson|n800the floodbots set it in certain situations18:11
ikonialooks like flood I guess18:11
Piciikonia: no.18:11
ikoniaoh18:11
Seveasand nzk18:11
Picisee my note in -monitor18:11
jribweird, I have uncommented bans that weren't removed apparently18:11
tsimpson|n800they don't count /mode messages anyway18:11
ikoniajrib: swap you some of my commented ones that where ;)18:11
ikoniaSeveas: would you care to re-set them again as I had commented both of those and they have slipped through18:12
PiciThat person hasn't been around for years.18:12
Seveasikonia, I haven't been an op in a loooooooooong time :)18:12
SeveasPici, because they were banned, duh...18:12
ikoniaPici: I assume you'd rather it was left off then18:12
Seveas--> bjoich (~KURBA@84.237.142.20) has joined #ubuntu18:13
Seveas<bjoich> penis18:13
Seveasthere's the first one ;)18:13
ikoniatht was quick18:13
Seveasanyway, have fun, I'll come back in a month or so18:13
ikoniawhat a surprise bzshells too18:13
IdleOnehere we go :)18:13
Picitsimpson|n800: did you query for all bans without comments? or all un-removed bans w/o comments?18:14
tsimpson|n800Pici: removed and where the comment count is 0 or 1 and the first comment doesn't look like an automatic comment18:15
Picitsimpson|n800: okay.18:15
Picievilmquin: Thanks for the help :)18:16
Picievilmquin: If you could please use this for your pre-removal announcement next time it would be great: "Things are going to get a bit noisey for a few minutes, as we cleaning out some stale modes.  Feel free to take a moment to get up and stretch. "18:21
* Pici goes for lunchies18:22
PiciAlso, for those who like graphs: http://status.nullcortex.com/other/other/ircbans.html18:23
pleia2nice :)18:23
ikoniaI like graphs18:23
nhandler-offtopic and +1 still need to get done, which is why you don't see the big fall for -ot18:26
evilmquinPici: would it be okay to go ahead and clear the bans on -offtopic and +1 ? (nhandler has made his escape)20:11
Picievilmquin: Sure, go ahead.20:11
evilmquinshould be a bit faster this time20:12
PiciAllrighty.20:12
guntberthi, if http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/locallanguage#hebrew-arabic is right, then the factoid !arabic should be changed21:01
k-radis my ban on #ubuntu-offtopic permamantly21:02
k-radfor 3 days i idled in here, and wahm, another ban21:02
k-radi'll wait till my question is answered, i realize no idling here, so if you'd like to kick me, fine, just please leave the output as to whether i am permbanned or not21:04
k-radin PM21:04
k-radi am mentally handicapped, but could use the fellowship of bright fish i'm sure you all have looked into it, and should be able to discern i'm no troublemaker21:05
nikonhandler: i don't know what the status of the new bantracker of ubotu, but feel free to pm me if you have requests or anything like that21:10
k-radcould i please speak to an ubuntu-op21:15
k-radabout a private matter21:15
k-radin PM21:15
k-radi apologize if making it publicly known how i felt about others and what they needed to help themselves.21:17
ubottuFloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (repeated abuse from brianBTB)21:20
k-radplease prefix my nick and follow up to PM when you all are not busy.21:23
k-radi dont mind being kicked from here, just please get back with me21:23
k-radstumbleupons suicide bot, a blackbox, turned me into a figher.  i wish nothing but peace for all.21:24
k-radand some words of advice, if your overworked and unhappy, it would like to consider that you try and get time off.  irc has gotten the worst of me in the past as well.21:26
k-radand one last final public note.  those that were in question, and i spoke what i honestly believed, i did not want to pursue it any further, which is what many of the channel wanted me to do.  look like the bad guy.21:27
k-radi dropped it immediately not wanting to start a war.  Madpilot was intent on going to war with me.21:28
k-rador at least not drop it and let by gones be by gones21:28
k-radi'm not a malicous human being21:28
k-radno one in there, every really cared for me, but i have a long history of not being malicious21:30
k-radyou will have found many folks in there the night i was blacklisted, who had repeatedly done the o4o thing, though not a word of chastisement21:32
k-radplease consider my words, and please give it some reconsideration21:33
k-radwhen you take me away form the community i'm left when the only viable alternative to have, to be nothing much but an end user rather than a helper.21:34
avisseeing as i was welcome in #ubuntu-offtopic for 3-4 days, and all of a sudden i am banned, again.  you've all heart where i am coming from.  it was my desire to the lack of responsiveness to wipe away my k-rad freenode login which is my very right22:08
=== avis is now known as k-rad
ubotturww called the ops in #ubuntu-offtopic (k-rad-: repeated ban-evasion, despite notification of banned status)22:10
tsimpsonk-rad: do you know that bypassing a ban in a channel is against freenode policy22:11
k-raddo you realize i've been trying to settle this matter with #ubuntu-ops with not a single word to be spoken ?22:13
tsimpsonthat isn't the point22:13
k-radand for the record, no one EVER told me i was banned.22:13
tsimpson2010-11-11T21:01:33 <rww> k-rad: You're banned from #ubuntu-offtopic by cloak. I recommend /parting the channel.22:14
k-radand for the record, i went 3-4 days in there, without being banned as k-rad, and i simply had nothing to say to anyone22:14
k-radthats exaclty what i ddi22:14
k-radi left22:14
tsimpsonand then you joined again22:14
k-radindeed i did.  i was unabanned for 3-4 days.  that was a indication to me that #ubuntu-offtopic were not heartless22:15
k-radunder k-rad22:15
tsimpsonyou were banned by your cloak, you then didn't identify to your account to regain access to the channel22:15
k-radrecognized that much, so you do not penalize me for that22:16
tsimpsonif you tried to join while identified then you would have known the ban was still in effect22:16
k-raddid you read about being unbanned as k-rad for 4 days, no question asked ?22:16
k-radplease refer to my previous discussion here, as to my status in #ubuntu-offtopic which occurred before my rejoining (3-4 days unbanned, that seems to send a message that people are over it)22:17
k-radtsimpson, i won't rejoin the channel.  but i would like to know how long i am banned for.  that way i can remove it from my channel list, and not get deceived into thinking i was unbanned since for 3-4 days i idled there with nothing to say, or any blocks22:19
tsimpsonyou were banned 3 days ago, the only reason you seem to be unbanned now is because you didn't identify to your account and get cloaked22:19
k-radi'm no longer using my pdpc account22:19
k-radi guarantee you, i've been in that channel for some time as k-rad.  within last 3 days.22:19
tsimpsonk-rad: bans stay until it is discussed (in here) and an operator in that channel is convinced that you understand and will abide by channel rules22:19
tsimpsonwe generally never have automatically expiring bans22:20
k-radtsimpson, i ask you to read the dialog i had for the whole channel, before this war against me started up again22:20
tsimpsonI am not waging a war, I'm simply stating the fact as I can see them, if you want to be allowed access in -offtopic again, you need to wait for an operator of that channel to talk to you and make a decision22:21
k-radhere is a example to the usual me in that channel, me trying to assist a drunk in there http://pastebin.com/wMtjF2vx22:22
k-radi believe those ops also reside on this channel, so hopefully someone will have noted, that i am seeking resolution to this issue.  i'm one of the nicest guys in the word22:23
k-radi'd like to idle here so i can speak to someone peacefully.  i'll be waiting for a PM.  should my presence here be unwelcome i am not against a kick, as no idlers are allowed.22:25
IdleOnek-rad: Since you know that idling is not allowed, please don't22:26
IdleOnek-rad: Since you know that idling is not allowed, please don't22:26
k-radno problem IdleOne might you try and find someone that could speak with me, and have them PM me as k-rad ?22:27
k-radthank so much22:27
k-radhave a nice evening22:27
IdleOnewill do.22:27
k-radbtw, i wish you'd have said k-rad please dont idle, against channel rules, someone will get back to you22:28
k-radenjoy your evening22:28
