bazhang@mark #ubuntu  [Reign_] (~IceChat77@c-98-213-126-119.hsd1.il.comcast.net) very odd behavior, would not try a single troubleshooting step00:20
ubottuThe operation succeeded.00:20
tsimpsonbazhang: the mark doesn't really work well when you place the nick in []00:23
bazhangtsimpson, okay, apologies. will remember that00:24
tsimpsonthe only problem is that I don't think the BT search includes comments00:25
WallyHiya :)01:38
bazhang<Wally> apshack: fix it yourself.. its Opensource01:39
bazhang<Wally> yay you broke it!01:39
Wallybazhang: Well you saw the way he was talking.01:39
bazhang<Wally> MrKeuner: I am a honest Aussie citizen.. I admit I trolled.. I will stop01:39
bazhang<Wally> Typical 13 year olds.01:39
bazhangWally, he was likely a non-native speaker. the aver media chip is one in Asia01:40
WallyYeah..01:40
CoreyWally: Also, if someone else is trolling, "piling on" isn't likely a good solution.01:40
bazhangso you calling him a troll, goading him, and being abusive are complete non-starters.01:40
WallyYeah I agree Corey My bad.01:41
bazhangWally, this time is a /remove and a warning.01:41
WallySo he gets away with being smart.. and "badgering" about an issue while he proceeded to threaten to break something.01:42
bazhangWally, this is not about anyone else but you.01:42
CoreyWally: Should you find his content objectionable, you can always /ignore him.01:42
WallyFair point Corey.01:43
Wallybazhang: Yeah true that..01:43
bazhangWally, there are moderators in the channel. You are not one of them.01:43
Wallybazhang: No. I am not01:43
CoreyWally: But "you fighting fire with fire" doesn't remove the problem, it simply means that now we have two problems.01:43
bazhang!guidelines | Wally have a read01:43
ubottuWally have a read: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines01:43
WallyRighto then.01:45
bazhang!coc | Wally and this too01:45
ubottuWally and this too: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct is a community etiquette document to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere, and can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ | For information on how to electronically sign the CoC, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SigningCodeofConduct01:45

bazhangkeyboard drivers?02:51
bazhangpsydoll cant really believe that02:55
bazhangchristopherNG is psydoll03:09
bazhangerr was03:09
rwwident and realname for both are default Ubuntu LiveCD. Anything else?03:11
bazhang* ubuntu___ (~ubuntu@host86-144-100-115.range86-144.btcentralplus.com) has joined #ubuntu-offtopic03:12
bazhang* ubuntu___ is now known as Psydoll03:13
rwwthanks03:13
bazhang* Psydoll has quit (Changing host)03:13
bazhang* Psydoll (~ubuntu@unaffiliated/psydoll) has joined #ubuntu-offtopic03:13
bazhangwhoop sorry03:13
Psydollhey folks looks like some operator disabled my rights in the offtopic channel after baiting me out and encouraging me, would like to be able to post in the channel again.03:20
Psydollactually it was rww03:20
rwwo/03:20
rwwtonyyarusso: you want to take this?03:20
Psydollanyway if i dont get them back i just re-register and come back under a different username and re-register.03:21
tonyyarussoWant to, not really, but I will :P03:21
rwwPsydoll: evading bans is a violation of freenode network policy, and may result in you being removed from the network. I do not recommend it, especially given that you just announced that you intend to do so in a channel with freenode staffers in it.03:21
tonyyarussoPsydoll: What you just threatened to do is a violation of network policy and would get you banned from all of Freenode, not just Ubuntu channels.03:21
rwwtonyyarusso: go find another active op to pass the hot potato to, then :P03:21
tonyyarussoAdditionally, saying that just made my job super easy, because it just clarified beyond all doubt that you do not deserve to have the mute lifted.03:22
Psydollits no sweat really anyway im watching a movie.03:22
tonyyarussoEnjoy the film!03:23
PsydollJust funny because an operator was the one that was demanding i answer a question about Kanji after I repeatedly said end of topic.03:23
CoreyHello.03:24
PsydollIf you dont like the answer then dont ask the question :)03:24
CoreyPsydoll: You really, really don't want to start the ban evasion game.03:25
PsydollIm asking for my rights back or a time on when I would get them back, Since I was deliberately baited and set up by an operator after I repeatedly said "end of topic"03:26
PsydollBeen coming on freenode for a long time, and been contributing in the #ubuntu channel just helped someone with his sound problem.03:27
rwwI believe I said "a couple of days" already.03:27
rwwAlso, you do not have a "right" to speak in #ubuntu-offtopic.03:27
Psydollyea but you deliberately baited and called me out after i kept saying "end of topic"03:28
CoreyA fanatic is a person who won't change his mind and can't change the subject.03:28
rwwIf one of the other ops here feels that I deliberately baited you and that my quiet was unwarranted, I would appreciate it if they removed that quiet.03:28
Psydollwhen I said "end of topic" i should have been left alone03:29
CoreyPsydoll: Give it a day or so to calm down, then re-enter.03:29
Psydollnp corey, ive been coming on freenode for years and im not in a big rush anyway.03:29
CoreyPsydoll: Thanks, it's appreciated.03:30
PsydollQ/03:30
CoreyI'd consider pulling it-- he has something of a point.03:30
bazhang<kierge> Stallman is not pleased.03:35
bazhangis he suggesting the user open up their computer to check the ram? augh03:35
bazhangrww, removed the mute?03:39
rwwOn further consideration I'm 50%-50% on whether it's warranted, and I find that I'm usually wrong when I feel that.03:39
bazhangyou did NOT bait him03:40
bazhangkierge seems to offering some very suspect advice03:41
bazhang@mark #ubuntu kierge> dee27, they are full of human viruses04:03
ubottuThe operation succeeded.04:03
bazhangtired of his nonsense. telling people to google it now.04:24
ikoniarww: fyi psydoll has been a problem in #ubuntu too, his attitude in general stinks, he plays ##slackware off agfainst #ubuntu07:43
ikoniafrantk: hello there11:50
frantkhi, I just wanted to check if newobjectivec has managed to come here11:51
ikoniano11:51
ikoniahe thinks I'm trying to misslead him by telling him to join this channel11:51
frantkyeah11:52
ikoniahe insists #freenode is the correct place and they will take action against me11:52
ikoniahe also believes I banned him in #debian - which someone else did, so he can't grasp things11:52
frantkwell, #freenode would have been the right place for his original questions...11:52
frantkhehe11:52
ikoniawell, I'll let him do what he wants, I can't make him understand/listen11:53
ikoniafrantk: thank you for your assistance in #freenode11:53
frantkno problem11:54
ikoniado you need anything else from the channel ?11:54
frantkno. should I leave?11:54
ikoniaif you wouldn't mind, we keep the channel free for issues to be resolved11:55
frantkno problem, I understand11:55
ikonianice to see a helpful soul for once11:56
popey+111:56
newobjectivechi11:57
ikoniahello nw11:57
ikonianewobjectivec:11:57
newobjectivecikonia i'm complaining about you11:57
newobjectivecshould i complain to you about you?11:57
ikoniaI understand that, that's why I asked you to this channel11:57
newobjectivecok11:57
ikonianewobjectivec: we can discuss your ban and the reasoning in here,11:57
newobjectivecok11:58
ikoniaI didn't feel it productive to continue in private11:58
newobjectivecthats what i said earlier11:58
newobjectivecthat talking to you about it doesnt change anything11:58
newobjectivecand i dont feel comfortable talking to you11:58
newobjectiveci dont mean to be rude11:58
newobjectivecbut i talked to you for a long time11:58
newobjectivec40 minutes to be specific11:59
ikonianewobjectivec: you where banned from ubuntu after repeated warnings to follow the channels topics, other people gave you information about the correct places to get help - and you didn't follow them11:59
ikonianewobjectivec: you where kicked as warnings and again given information to get help from the correct places, you again ignored it11:59
ikoniathis resulted in you calling me a natzi, and your banning11:59
newobjectivecare you trying to poison the wells?11:59
ikoniajust so you are clear on the reason11:59
newobjectiveci came to here to complain12:00
newobjectiveci dont want to come across as rude12:00
newobjectiveci'm upset by your behaviour12:00
ikoniaI understand that, which is why I'm explaining to you the reasoning again, so you're clear as to why you have been banned12:00
newobjectivecand its wrong for me to complain about you to you12:00
newobjectivecif i was going to complain about you to you12:00
newobjectivecthen there would be no point in me doing it12:00
ikonianewobjectivec: the channel is full of other operators also12:00
newobjectivecif you have something to say about the entire issue, then say it, if you have something to say to me, then say it, if you want to say your side then say it, but dont direct what i will say.12:01
ikoniahence why I asked you here, so others could contribute/see the conversation12:01
newobjectivecyou didnt ask me here12:01
ikoniaplease don't lie12:01
newobjectiveci was asked to come to here from the freenode channel12:01
ikonianewobjectivec: by me12:01
ikoniaI asked you in #freenode12:01
newobjectivec[12:46] <Caso> newobjectivec: See #ubuntu-ops for Ubuntu channel issues.12:02
newobjectivec[12:48] <ikonia> please join #ubuntu-ops if you wish to complain12:02
newobjectivecnotice the time stamp12:02
newobjectiveccaso said it first12:02
ikoniathat's called network lag12:02
newobjectivecare you caso ?12:02
ikoniano12:02
newobjectivecwhy did you call me a lier then ?12:03
elkyikonia, it seems this isn't worth the bother.12:03
newobjectivecjust becouse you repeated what he said it doesnt mean you said it12:03
ikoniaelky: I would agree, this is the attitude I had in pm - so I'll leave it12:03
ikoniaand the attitude that got him banned from #debian12:03
newobjectivecso now its me who is not worth the bother and its me who has an attitude12:03
newobjectivecthis is what i didnt want12:04
newobjectiveci didnt want some one targetting me12:04
PiciWhy don't you start over then.12:04
newobjectivecthen not letting me complain12:04
newobjectivecwell12:04
elkyThen you should probably have not got hung up on who mentioned this channel first.12:04
newobjectiveci went to ubuntu12:04
newobjectivecand ilonai was kicking mne12:04
newobjectivecme12:04
newobjectivecin a periord of seconds12:04
newobjectivecit was hard to know what was happening12:04
newobjectivecand it was followed by a bann12:05
newobjectivecso i went to another channel asking for help12:05
newobjectivecand the same person was there and removed my voice12:05
ikoniaI have no power in #debian - so again, nothing to do with me12:05
newobjectiveci dont know if i should copy and paste what happened there12:06
newobjectivecbut i feel that you are trying to sabotage my complaint12:06
Picinewobjectivec: We don't handle anything in #debian, so no, it wouldn't be prudent to tell us about it.12:06
elky* abrotman sets ban on *!*@78-86-145-235.zone2.bethere.co.uk12:07
newobjectivecthe point is12:07
mrmistnewobjectivec: it seems that you are possibly a bit confused as to how this network operates.  For general questions, maybe ask in #freenode rather thn #ubuntu. If there is a more suitable place, we'll direct you to it from there.  Please meanwhile respect chanop decisions when they ask you to stay on topic. Thanks :)12:07
newobjectivecikonai kept following me through the channel12:07
newobjectivecchannels12:07
newobjectiveci think ikonai is picking on me12:07
newobjectiveci messaged that op and first i expressed frastration12:07
elkyIkonia was already in #debian. He has been for years.12:08
newobjectivecthen becouse was responding to my messages i thought maybe wasnt picking on me and i apologised for what i said12:08
Picinewobjectivec: Most channels have rules. I understand that you are frustrated by them, but that still means that you need to follow them.12:08
newobjectivecby the way12:08
newobjectiveci'm a slow reader12:08
newobjectivecso i probably missed messages typed here12:08
PiciOkay?12:08
PiciPerhaps you should read responses before typing your reply then.12:09
newobjectiveci want to finish what i was saying then i will go up there and read what was typed12:09
PiciThats not really how IRC is supposed to work...12:09
newobjectivecanyway one last point12:09
ikoniayou've just spent 40 minutes telling me how IRC works, how you've been on it since 1990, yet you don't seem to be able to grasp the simple point of "follow the rules"12:10
newobjectivecso after expressing my frastration, and i do have allot of frastrations about manytimes when ops use kick and ban casually. then i apologised and everything. but then there was the ban there still present.12:10
newobjectivecand ikonai said that i dont benifit ubuntu for that reason there is the ban12:11
newobjectivecall of these things i see them as authoriterian behaviour12:11
Picinewobjectivec: May I respond now?12:11
newobjectivectoday i came across even in this channel as a person with an attitude12:11
newobjectiveci'm not a person with an attitude12:12
mrmistIf I may, I suspect your lack of willingness to listen to anything people communicate to you whilst you're mid-flow probably contributes to that mis-impression.12:12
Picimrmist: I was just about to say something like that.12:13
newobjectivecand i didnt do anything wrong and i think what was done although it doesnt effect me yet it was unfair, i resent it which is why i came to post a complaint, i doubt anything will happen since people allready started taking a position against me. but at least i feel comfortable that i didnt accept it. and that i resisted it and expressed my displeasure about it.12:13
newobjectiveci finished what i was saying, going to read what was typed12:13
elkyI suspect if you're this ways limited in a real-time discussion medium that you'd be much better served on the forums.12:14
elky!forums12:14
ubottuThe Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC freenode #ubuntuforums.12:14
Picielky: That is a good point.12:15
PiciOr askubuntu12:15
Pici!askubuntu12:15
ubottuAskUbuntu is a support resource that offers non-realtime support by the community! Can't get your problem fixed on IRC? Try AskUbuntu! - http://askubuntu.com/ You can discuss AskUbuntu in #ubuntu-stack12:15
newobjectiveci read what was said12:18
newobjectiveci understand that people are not happy about how i speak12:18
newobjectivecand that i got advised to go to forums12:18
elkyI believe forums and askubuntu would be more suited to your limitation from reading and writing at the same time. the pace is much more like what you seem to expect from relay chat.12:19
newobjectiveci respect everyone's opinion. but i have a different opinion. and we are all entitled to our opinions. i hope i dont come across as rude, and i'm not trying to make an issue out of nothing, but i used irc for long and people dont make issues about how i comunicate, everyone have their limitations, there are ways around that. kicking and banning some one is not the solution, and with all12:21
newobjectivecrespect, telling some one to use a forum although i know its said light heartedly yet i think its not a solution. if the way i talk was very disturbing i wouldnt have used irc for this long.12:21
elkynewobjectivec, the simple fact is that you were unable to ask appropriate questions in #ubuntu. It's not a support channel for mIRC. Nor is #debian a support channel for c++.12:23
newobjectiveci understand that12:24
elkyWe have no intention of asking 1500 people in #ubuntu to stop typing so you can keep up, either.12:24
newobjectiveci didnt ask people to stop typing12:24
newobjectivecthere is a channel called drupal12:24
newobjectivecit focuses on CMS12:24
newobjectivecbecouse there are people who have website building skills there12:24
newobjectiveci go there and ask them about otherthings including flash and html12:25
newobjectivecthey dont get offended by that12:25
newobjectivecwhen i went to ubuntu12:25
newobjectiveci wanted to know how to put a time stamp12:25
newobjectivecon my mirc12:25
newobjectivecsome one said go to micr channel12:25
newobjectivecso it was great help12:25
newobjectiveci went there12:25
newobjectivecand i was told how to put it12:25
newobjectivecthen i had one last question about the difference between c++ and visual C++12:25
elkyDoes #drupal have 1500 people using it?12:26
newobjectiveci thought there was someone who knows the answer12:26
newobjectivecits the main channel for a main CMS used for the white house website so yes it has allot of people12:26
newobjectivecprobably more than 150012:26
elkyThere are not 1500 people in #drupal.12:26
newobjectivecnot talking about drupal here12:26
newobjectivecabout drupal in whatever server they are located12:27
newobjectivecbut the point is not about how i read or how many people are in drupal12:27
elkyBut maybe you should ask them about c++ if you really believe they're ok with offtopic questions.12:27
newobjectivecits about simple things getting turned into big issues12:27
newobjectivecand when i message the opp, the opp expresses that i was polite for apologising12:27
newobjectivecbut i'm not benificial to a channel12:28
elkyActually it is. There is only so much demand that one channel can accomodate. We must limit the scope of #ubuntu to make sure that questions directly related to ubuntu have priority.12:28
newobjectivecthe channel is not a place to benifit people, many people in the channel are idling. and telling me that its about being benificial is an excuse and its about being autoritative.12:28
elkyYou are not beneficial to #ubuntu if you are using it for non-ubuntu questions.12:28
newobjectiveci came to complain about it here, you know how this conversation went, and i can tell that ultimately i will be the wrong one here and i will be anotherone biting the dust. the opp is allways right12:29
elkyIt's nothing to do with authority. We must moderate the busy channel to make sure that people who need help with the product within our scope to support get the help they need. c++ has it's own channel.12:29
elkynewobjectivec, we have rules. We must stick to the rules.12:30
newobjectivecok12:30
elkyNow if that is all, I need to get to bed.12:31
newobjectivecthank you for being open minded about this issue and taking the time to explain your point of view12:31
elkyThanks. There's no ongoing need for you to stay here. We keep it free from idlers so that for example, discussions like this don't get disrupted by lots of people being silly.12:33
elky!logs12:33
ubottuOfficial channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too; for older LoCo channel logs, see http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/12:33
elkyThe channel is logged however. Thanks.12:33

tiredhungryyi didnt do any ban evasion13:21
tiredhungryyi have a dialup modem13:21
tiredhungryyit changed ip without me realising13:22
Tm_Tit's not that13:22
Tm_Tand you very well know it, so I suggest you don't try to enter #ubuntu in atleast a month, and we'll look it again then13:23
tiredhungryyfine13:23
ikoniaeven if it did change the IP - you still repeated the same dd if= of= gag13:23
popey"gag"13:23
ikoniaso you repeated the behaviour even if you didn't mean to ban dodge13:23
tiredhungryyhe asked how to remove home folder, that would remove it13:23
ikoniapopey: yes, he claims it was a joke to destroy other peoples machines13:23
ikoniatiredhungryy: you where told not to do it again, and you did,13:23
tiredhungryythen i said instantly in caps it is joke13:23
ikoniatiredhungryy: yes, but when you've come back since then, you've done it again13:24

tiredhungryyreseting my modem isn't malicious, but if u want to ban every ip in china in one swoop, go ahead13:26

Piciglda19: ikonia is the one that removed you, they should be here shortly.15:48
glda19i asked somthing and i stopt and ban15:49
glda19pici wher is ikonia15:54
Piciglda19: hold on please.15:55
glda19how long15:56
ikoniasorry15:57
ikoniaI was just away15:57
ikoniaglda19: do you remember having multiple conversations about beta products such as thunderbird 5 and lightning 1.4b not being available in the ubuntu repos because they where beta/not packaged ?15:57
glda19tb 5 is not beta15:58
ikoniaand as such we didn't support them15:58
ikoniaglda19: no, it's not beta at this time, but it's not packaged for ubuntu, so you're getting it from mozilla.org in a pre-compiled tar file15:58
ikoniabut you remember those conversations over the last few days where I have explained this to you ?15:58
glda19no it's packaged for ubunutu15:59
Piciglda19: What repository are you getting it from then?15:59
glda19pici i don't now i have to down grade16:00
ikonia?16:00
ikoniayou must know what repo you're getting this software from,16:00
glda19i down grade16:00
ikoniathunderbird 5 would be an "upgrade"16:01
ikoniawell, lets not focus too hard on this, either way they are not from official ubuntu repos16:01
ikoniaand lightning 1.4b (beta) isn't certainly16:01
ikoniaglda19: so you remember we've discussed a few times over the last few days that this software and the configuration you want isn't a supported or realisitic configuration in a lot of ways ?16:02
glda19ppa:mozillateam/thunderbird-stable16:02
ikoniafor various reasons16:02
ikoniaok - so that wasn't where you got it from the first time we spoke, but even then, it's a PPA which is supported by the mozilla team, not really the ubuntu community16:02
ikonia(#ubuntu-mozillateam is the channel for that)16:02
glda19ikonia, on calendar an thunderbird on mozilla server no answer16:03
ikoniaglda19: the reason you got removed and forwarded to this channel is despite being told many times over the last few days about the supportability of this software (lack of it) you keep asking for support/help with it16:03
glda19how lang removeds16:03
glda19how long16:04
ikoniaglda19: I'll remove it now, if you can grasp that you need to stop asking for help with these products ?16:04
ikoniaI've only forwarded you here as you didn't seem to be taking it when I was telling you in the channel16:04
ikoniaglda19: do you understand what I'm saying ?16:05
glda19ikonia, i didn't now there was a ubuntu-molzilla channel16:05
ikoniathat's fine, I'm telling you now, but do you understand what I'm saying about these products not being "stable" within the ubuntu product range and not supported ?16:05
ikoniamore so in the unusual configuration you want16:05
glda19?16:06
ikoniaglda19: do you understand that the products you are asking for help yet are not officially packaged and supported in the ubuntu linux distribution, (yes/no)16:06
ikoniahelp "with" that should be16:07
glda19yes16:07
ikoniaglda19: do you agree to stop asking for help with them in #ubuntu (yes/no)16:07
glda19yes16:07
ikoniaok - then I'll remove the ban forward from #ubuntu now, but please keep in mind you have now agreed to stop asking for help16:08
ikoniahelp with these products16:08
ikoniayou're welcome to leave this channel and rejoin #ubuntu16:08
ikoniaglda19: if you're happy the ban has been removed and you have no further problems, we request that you leave the channel so that other people can get help when they need it16:14
glda19yes16:14
ikoniathanks16:14
ikoniabe alert, oly562 just signed in :)16:54
ubottuIn #ubuntu-offtopic, Mkaysi said:  !appdb is <alias> appdb ?16:57
ikoniawhat ?16:57
PiciI'm asking16:57
ikoniajust saw16:57
ikoniahad a little chuckle16:57
ikonialooks like syrinx_ after his "I'm never going back there" rant16:58
rwwnever going back where?17:01
ikoniato #ubuntu-offtopic17:02
ikoniarww: that's one of the saddest things after canonical made a big deal of sparc17:07
ikoniaI'd forgot about that17:07
rwwI've been hit by Ubuntu dropping support for some ARM versions. I'm glad our father distro is a little more compatible :)17:08
ikoniaI thought arm was staying supported ?17:09
ikoniaor coming back at least17:09
ikoniadue to the "mobile" project17:09
rwwsome are and some aren't, I think. I haven't looked into it much, I just know my Sheevaplug doesn't work in >Jaunty.17:10
ikoniaso silly that canonical made such a big deal of sparc....then dropped it inthe next release.17:10
Tm_Tikonia: ARM is supported, but only certain type of ARMs (:17:13
Pici!arm17:14
ubottuARM is a specific (RISC) processor architecture used in a variety of applications such as handhelds and networkdevices. For more information see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM . For ARM specific support, stop by the #ubuntu-arm channel.17:14
ikoniaam I missing what ilangeeran is on about ?17:15
rwwthey don't make much sense to me either17:17
PiciPython: Hi, how can we help you today?19:09
PythonHi, I'm interested to in joining Ops. Is "create a Wiki page where you explain why you want to join and why you would be a good op" one of the requirements ?19:10
PiciPython: yes.19:12
PythonPici: okay, thank you and have a great day/evening19:13
tsimpson^ having a wiki page is no longer a requirement19:51
Picitsimpson: oops19:51
h00kI missed that19:52
tsimpsonI blame topyli19:53
tsimpson:)19:53
h00kI blame jussi and triangles19:53
Piciagreed;19:53
MyrttiI thought channels needing ops was a requirement :-P20:10
IdleOneit is20:11
IdleOneapplying for ops is now an "open" process20:11
tsimpsonanyone can apply, but we don't approve anyone until after we call for ops20:16
LjLor at all, in some cases, hopefully20:17
tsimpsonindeed simply applying for a position is no guarantee of acceptance20:21
ikoniaso rather than telling someone they are not suitable and give realistic feedback, we let them go through an application process21:09
tsimpsonikonia: we provide feedback when we review candidates21:36
ikoniaI know but......21:36
ikoniawhen's the next review ?21:37
tsimpsonusually after a call for ops21:38
ikoniasomeone actually sending him a pm and suggesting why he may not be suitable at this time rather than dryly letting him waste time applying maybe a bit more realistic21:38
ikoniarather than letting his application just sit there21:38
tsimpsonbut we are moving to reviewing all pending applicants every 6 months21:38
ikonia6 months....come on21:38
ikoniacan we actually start applying common sense rather than blind processes21:38
tsimpsoncome on what? people can apply before we send a call out21:39
ikoniaand it just sits there for 6 months......21:39
ikoniawhy not just say "we are not looking for ops at the moment" rather than waste someones time21:39
tsimpsonthere is plenty of information out there about what is required to become an op, if they feel they meet those requirements then they can apply21:40
ikoniasorry, this process stuff is just stupid in my view21:40
tsimpsonI am well aware of your views21:40
ikoniarather than applying common sense we point people to processes21:40
ikoniagood - well I'm voicing them again21:41
ikoniaand I will continue to voice them21:41
charlie-tcaSeems pretty intelligent to have some applications on hand at all times21:41
ikoniait doesn't to me21:41
ikoniait seems silly to have people sat in a box for 6 months21:42
charlie-tcaChannel needs an op in a hurry, why hold the process up waiting for applications?21:42
tsimpsonI really don't see why allowing people to express their interest in joining the ops team is such a bad thing tbh21:42
ikoniaas the call to ops you'll have to go and validate those applications again21:42
ikoniatsimpson: it's not a bad thing - but it's also not a bad thing to say "we are not looking at the moment, follow the mail list and you'll see when we are"21:42
ikoniarather than making people do an application process21:42
ikoniaor in python's case - say "not at this time and here's why"21:42
ikoniaand I'm only using him as a current example21:43
LjLmaybe it could be considered whether to adjust the process so that you can't become an op for some given period of time if you've been banned. make it easier for the troublemakers who want to apply.21:44
LjLsuch as me21:44
ikoniaLjL: I'm all for an application process, just not process that goes against common sense21:45
ikoniaor wastes peoples time21:45
elkyLjL, that would be a good move I think22:14
rwwI think the current system, where current ops can email IRCC about applicants, is fine. I check bantracker before I email and factor it into what I say. Works for me *shrug*22:22
rww("fine" as in talking about whether to factor in bans to eligibility, not in general)22:23
