[00:05] why doesn't ubottu know everything? [00:07] !everything` [00:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about everything` [00:54] installing a latest kernel on an unsupported derivate [00:55] of late , it seems #ubuntu has become the uber -- ##linux channel where every distro user asks their question ('coz I get a fast answer') [01:30] Tux19 is randomly PM'ing newcomers to the channel [01:34] got him in PM [01:34] he claims its to welcome people to the linux community for chat [03:56] bazhang: It's illegal to identify the sender of an email? [03:57] edbian, he wants to do something illegal. lets move on [03:57] You're the op [03:58] spamming is not a supported activity on #ubuntu nor on freenode [04:00] bazhang: I'd like to discuss it more if that's ok. Out of curiosity (and for next time someone asks something like this) [04:01] edbian, whats to discuss? he asked about an illegal activity [04:01] bazhang: But wouldn't it be good to show him how to identify who sent the email? [04:01] That's not illegal (it's the opposite) [04:02] he clearly said he wanted to spam the spammer. that part is. [04:02] So you write him off completely? [04:03] I want to rob a bank; where can I get a car for it [04:04] I suppose if I showed you how to buy cars (even if you promised not to) it sort of would be aiding a criminal activity [04:05] this 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] no one was written off [04:06] I agree [04:06] Thanks for discussing it with me :) [04:06] (even if you are a bit blunt about it :) ) [04:10] edbian: [04:10] IdleOne: [04:11] next 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 illegal [04:11] IdleOne: how do you know the spammer's ISP ? [04:11] got chubcorp in PM now [04:11] simple as that. he asked how to commit a crime. We can't help with that. [04:11] bazhang: Is it getting hot and steamy in there? [04:12] IdleOne: Do you mean he should have called his own ISP (is email relayed through them?) [04:12] What he should do is mark it as spam and forget about it. [04:13] he basically wanted to enact some vigilante style justice [04:13] IdleOne: alright [04:13] yeah [04:13] not really a hard call at all. [04:14] nope [04:14] how do I get the latest 2fast2furious movieZZZ!!! [04:14] Blockbuster will have them on the shelf in about months or so [04:14] -!ot [04:14] -!illegal [04:15] 3 months* [04:15] I suppose the vigilante thing muddled it for me :) [04:15] I think we have a !warez also [04:15] I can relate to how he was feeling [04:16] regardless [04:16] edbian: we have all been spammed [04:16] its not the vigilante-revenge channel [04:16] Not trying to justify my actions. Just talking [04:16] Is there a vigilante-revenge channel? [04:16] edbian, you did nothing wrong [04:16] thanks for joining to discuss/clarify [04:16] edbian: lol not on this network :P [04:17] :) [04:18] it forwards to ##you_have_got_to_be_kidding [04:18] I checked it [04:18] haha [04:27] tux19 is randomly PM'ing people again [04:27] he did it to me too [04:27] he's been warned repeatedly NOT to do that. [04:28] also the "does anyone need help" [05:06] a 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 chat [05:06] probably time for a ban if he doesnt get that that's not appropriate [05:07] he's had ample warning and two PM [05:07] banninate [05:07] and chubcorp (also in PM) sees absolutely nothing wrong with going on a spam attack against his spammers [05:08] he's had several warnings and a /remove as well as a lengthy PM [05:10] banninating the trollitude, banninating the users; baninating all the sillies in #ubuntu-offtopic!~~ [05:48] * [bot7425] (~bot7425@adsl-68-20-33-229.dsl.chcgil.ameritech.net): bot7425 erict15 is running it in #ubuntu [05:51] is it a nuisance in any way? [05:51] he's using it to send messages about #ubuntu to his game server [05:53] It's also joined (and left) ten times in the past 45 minutes [05:53] hmm think he would need IRCC approval for that [05:54] and he's said "test" each time [05:54] not every time (I only see four or so tests) [05:55] sorry, busy in PM with chubcorp , him, and tux19 [06:20] no explanation other than he needs to send messages to his game server about #ubuntu and "cuz it's the biggest channel" [06:25] I imagine he changed the bot's nick to maklesh* [06:25] but regardless, I'm forwarding it to fix-your-connection [06:25] thanks Flannel === KB1JWQ is now known as Corey [13:01] bullshark is PMing people to join his channel ##blackhats [13:02] bazhang >>> u get that PM? [13:02] now complaining in PM not to PM him [13:44] bazhang: advertising non namespace channels is not acceptale, give hima warning, remove if necessary [13:45] jussi, I did. he is back but stopped with the advertising. [13:45] bazhang: then all good - as long as it has really stopped :) [21:57] @btlogin [22:33] can i ask what i did? [22:33] topyli: ^ [22:35] seems you were trolling in -ot and making up your own rules about trolling [22:38] fisch246: while we wait for topyli, i'd just like to inform you you're not banned, in case you didn't realize [22:42] fisch246: 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 tone [22:42] you're free to return, but take the free tip when you get them :) [22:47] fisch246: if there are no further issues, please don't idle here. return to #ubuntu-offtopic instead for example [23:20] LjL called the ops in #ubuntu (junwsewq) === LjL is now known as how === how is now known as LjL
