bazhanginstalling a latest kernel on an unsupported derivate00:54
bazhangof late , it seems #ubuntu has become the uber -- ##linux channel where every distro user asks their question ('coz I get a fast answer')00:55
bazhangTux19 is randomly PM'ing newcomers to the channel01:30
bazhanggot him in PM01:34
bazhanghe claims its to welcome people to the linux community for chat01:34
edbianbazhang: It's illegal to identify the sender of an email?03:56
bazhangedbian, he wants to do something illegal. lets move on03:57
edbianYou're the op03:57
bazhangspamming is not a supported activity on #ubuntu nor on freenode03:58
edbianbazhang: I'd like to discuss it more if that's ok.  Out of curiosity (and for next time someone asks something like this)04:00
bazhangedbian, whats to discuss? he asked about an illegal activity04:01
edbianbazhang: But wouldn't it be good to show him how to identify who sent the email?04:01
edbianThat's not illegal (it's the opposite)04:01
bazhanghe clearly said he wanted to spam the spammer.  that part is.04:02
edbianSo you write him off completely?04:02
bazhangI want to rob a bank; where can I get a car for it04:03
edbianI suppose if I showed you how to buy cars (even if you promised not to) it sort of would be aiding a criminal activity04:04
bazhangthis is so cut and dried its not worth discussion. he asked how to do something illegal. end of story. not suppored in ubuntu namespace nor on freenode.04:05
bazhangno one was written off04:05
edbianI agree04:06
edbianThanks for discussing it with me :)04:06

edbianIdleOne:04:10
IdleOnenext time someone asks how to spam a spammer tell them to call their ISP and ask them, see if the ISP would be happy to hear about their servers being used to do something illegal04:11
edbianIdleOne: how do you know the spammer's ISP ?04:11
bazhanggot chubcorp in PM now04:11
IdleOnesimple as that. he asked how to commit a crime. We can't help with that.04:11
edbianbazhang: Is it getting hot and steamy in there?04:11
edbianIdleOne: Do you mean he should have called his own ISP (is email relayed through them?)04:12
IdleOneWhat he should do is mark it as spam and forget about it.04:12
bazhanghe basically wanted to enact some vigilante style justice04:13
edbianIdleOne: alright04:13
edbianyeah04:13
bazhangnot really a hard call at all.04:13
IdleOnenope04:14

edbianhe did it to me too04:27
bazhanghe's been warned repeatedly NOT to do that.04:27
bazhangalso the "does anyone need help"04:28
bazhanga number of users have complained about the private PM on join by tux19. I PM'd him yesterday and today and he feels its okay to solicit these people for his private chat05:06
hypatiaprobably time for a ban if he doesnt get that that's not appropriate05:06
bazhanghe's had ample warning and two PM05:07
hypatiabanninate05:07
bazhangand chubcorp (also in PM) sees absolutely nothing wrong with going on a spam attack against his spammers05:07
bazhanghe's had several warnings and a /remove as well as a lengthy PM05:08

bazhang* [bot7425] (~bot7425@adsl-68-20-33-229.dsl.chcgil.ameritech.net): bot7425   erict15 is running it in #ubuntu05:48
IdleOneis it a nuisance in any way?05:51
bazhanghe's using it to send messages about #ubuntu to his game server05:51
FlannelIt's also joined (and left) ten times in the past 45 minutes05:53
IdleOnehmm think he would need IRCC approval for that05:53
bazhangand he's said "test" each time05:54
Flannelnot every time (I only see four or so tests)05:54
bazhangsorry, busy in PM with chubcorp , him, and tux1905:55
bazhangno explanation other than he needs to send messages to his game server about #ubuntu and "cuz it's the biggest channel"06:20
FlannelI imagine he changed the bot's nick to maklesh*06:25
Flannelbut regardless, I'm forwarding it to fix-your-connection06:25
bazhangthanks Flannel06:25

fisch246topyli: ^22:33
popeyseems you were trolling in -ot and making up your own rules about trolling22:35
LjLfisch246: while we wait for topyli, i'd just like to inform you you're not banned, in case you didn't realize22:38
topylifisch246: i removed you both, but neither of you are banned. your discussion was not beneficial for the friendly atmosphere we aim for, and you refused to change the tone22:42
topyliyou're free to return, but take the free tip when you get them :)22:42
