h00ktruepurple: How can we help you?02:19
truepurpleYesterday action was taken against me twice that caused the channels I was ins tab to close02:20
truepurpleWhat might this action have been?02:20
h00k@login02:20
ubottuThe operation succeeded.02:20
h00k@btlogin02:20
h00ktruepurple: what channels?02:21
truepurplethis one, and ubuntu02:21
h00ktruepurple: you don't recall why you were removed from #ubuntu or #ubuntu-ops?02:21
truepurpleFirst, no real was was given, but second, that is not what I asked02:22
truepurpleI asked, what was the action taken against me, it seems being kicked does not cause the tab to close, so what was done against me?02:22
tonyyarussoYou were removed.02:23
h00ktruepurple: from looking a the logs, you were removed requested by an opp.02:24
h00k*op02:24
truepurplethat is different from kicked?02:24
tonyyarussoyes02:24
h00ktruepurple: yes02:24
tonyyarussoYou can find details on Freenode's documentation.02:24
truepurpleIs it meant to close the tab?02:24
tonyyarussoThat depends on the client implementation.02:24
tonyyarusso/preferences02:24
truepurpleIs  it meant to close the tab though, is that the general idea of removed verse kicked02:25
tonyyarussoThat depends on the client implementation / preferences.02:25
h00kIt is meant to remove you from the room (basically a /part).02:25
truepurpleIf its just a client thing, where is there even a separate command from kicked?02:25
tonyyarussoYou could ask the IRCd developers about that.02:25
truepurpleWell I am requesting that you kick, you don't remove02:26
tonyyarussoDid you have an Ubuntu ops question?02:26
truepurplekick is just as good as remove, and allows me to see the log02:26
tonyyarussoWell, we're not going to do that, but thanks for asking.02:26
h00kIt helps prevent auto-rejoining scripts from auto-rejoining.02:26
h00ktruepurple: also, the channels are publicly logged02:26
h00kubottu: tell truepurple about logs02:27
ubottutruepurple, please see my private message02:27
truepurpleBut finding messages in a log will not be as easy02:28
truepurpleSo if you feel you were unfairly treated regarding a "remove" what are you suppose to do again?02:28
tonyyarussoubottu: tell truepurple about appeals02:29
ubottutruepurple, please see my private message02:29
truepurplewhat is the exact command for this remove? Is it /remove?02:31
h00ktruepurple: for you to part a channel? /part02:31
truepurpleNo, when you remove someone from a channel, what do you type?02:31
tonyyarusso/ar truepurple02:32
tonyyarussofor instance02:32
h00kif you have the autobleh script on irssi, yes.02:32
tonyyarussoOn my client02:32
tonyyarussoyup02:32
h00k(also, you must be an op)02:32
tonyyarussoAgain, this is all documented on the Freenode site.02:33
truepurpleI am talking with the developer of the smuxi client I use, he is making it sound like it is some kind of bug or hack with this forced part behavior02:36
tonyyarussoTry a designed feature of the IRCd.02:36
tonyyarussoHow it is *handled* is a client matter.02:37
h00khttp://dev.freenode.net/ircd-seven02:37
truepurple<meebey> its freenode? they are known to be IRC protocol abuser02:39
truepurpleI mean I dont care about hack verses feature, I just dont want the tab to close02:40
h00ktruepurple: is there anything else we can help you with in here? If you would like to talk to #freenode about features, feel free in #freenode.02:40
tonyyarussoWhether the tab closes or not is a client matter.  This has nothing to do with us.  Do you have any further business here?02:41
truepurplecan you kick me if you dont want me in here any more so I can review things said?02:41
truepurpleThat is not how this developer is making it sound02:41
truepurpleAnd I would appreciate it if you guys would use kick more often, and only use that other thing if there is a issue with that user with this bot thing02:42
tonyyarussoWe're not going to change how we operate because you can't set your preferences properly.02:42
truepurpleIts not even a option with this client02:42
h00ktruepurple: I may suggest a different client.02:43
truepurpleThe developer of the client says such a command is not a proper command even02:43
h00k/part surely is a proper command.02:43
h00ktruepurple: the command entered by ops, /ar, is simply an alias.02:43
truepurplefor a user to use in their own client...02:43
h00kand is one example, on one 'script' on one client.02:43
truepurpleFor a OPS to force such a command into my client is another matter02:43
truepurpleYou guys sure are talking cold, if someone isnt using whatever bot, there is no problem with you guys using kick instead02:44
h00ktruepurple: the command issued is /remove02:44
h00ktruepurple: if there's something you would like to take up with !appeals, you're welcome to that as well02:45
truepurpleI can appeal a general policy?02:45
tsimpsonour policy of using /remove is not up for debate, sorry02:46
h00ktruepurple: again, I may suggest using a client that doesn't close a particular tab if removed02:47
truepurpleIf its no sweat off your backs, there is no rule that requires remove verses kick, there is no reason to show some slight kindness to a user02:47
tsimpsonboth /kick and /remove have the same result, the user is forced out of the channel02:48
truepurpleIf its a matter of bot, couldn't you use a short ban instead?02:48
tsimpsonexactly how _your_ client handles it is not up to us02:48
truepurpleNo, kick keeps the tab open02:48
tonyyarussoWhy should all of us change something instead of you?02:48
ldunntruepurple: this depends on the client02:48
truepurplemeebey> see they abuse the protocol02:49
truepurple21:41 <meebey> so the autojoin bot believe it wanted to leave02:49
truepurple21:41 <meebey> do you start to see the issue?02:49
truepurple21:42 <meebey> this is what smuxi does, it can not tell apart if you wanted to close the channel or they forced it to02:49
truepurple21:42 <meebey> its the exact same command02:49
tonyyarussoAgain, whether your tab stays open is YOUR problem, not ours.  Now stop wasting our time griping about your client's failures.02:49
ldunn/remove keeps my tab open in xchat02:49
h00ktruepurple: please do not flood the channel02:49
truepurpleI was just telling you what I was told02:49
tonyyarussoAnd we're telling you what we're telling you.02:49
elkyhow about you discuss the reason why you're banned rather than this.02:49
truepurpleand 5 lines its more of a drissel02:49
tsimpsontruepurple: tell the developers that parting a channel does not mean closing a tab, other than that we can't really do anything about your client02:50
truepurpleelky: I am not banned02:51
elkywhen why are you here?02:51
truepurpleelky: I suggested ban instead of /ar so the tab doesnt close02:51
h00ka ban is unnecessary02:51
elkywhy were you here yesterday02:51
truepurpleOh I remember02:52
truepurpleSomeone told me something, I asked if I could get a short technical background so I can determine how accurate the information might be02:53
truepurpleThe ops asked me to go to this channel to discuss how that discussion wasnt right or something02:53
truepurpleThe ops at the time called that "off topic" I say that is BS, it is very much on topic02:54
elkyIt wasn't. That's an incredibly rude thing to ask a volunteer who is helping you.02:54
truepurpleNot in the least02:54
truepurpleAny random person can answer you02:54
tsimpsonthe don't use community support services02:54
truepurpleand they might not have a clue or make silly presumptions, and you have no way of knowing02:54
elkyIf you want qualified support, you do need to pay for that. Canonical offers paid support.02:54
tonyyarussoSo, you came back to have the same argument as yesterday?  How is that helpful?02:54
tsimpsonthere are commercial services available if you want more assurance02:55
truepurple"<elky> how about you discuss the reason why you're banned rather than this."02:55
truepurple"<elky> when why are you here?"02:55
elkytruepurple, focus on the discussion with me please02:55
tsimpsonif you aren't willing to trust the people giving support in #ubuntu, then don't use #ubuntu. it's busy enough without everyone needing to explain every detail of every bit of advice they give, not to mention how off-putting that would be to helpers02:56
truepurpleelky: I did not understand that02:56
elkywhat did you not understand?02:57
truepurpletsimpson: I just asked for a little tech background, if I was given some and I was still questioning, that would be something02:57
truepurpleBut it is absurd to say, that saying 'how much do you know about this topic' is rude or uncalled for or offtopic or deserving of "removal"02:58
tsimpsontruepurple: then the correct thing to do would be to discuss it with them in #ubuntu-offtopic or in private, if they were willing to carry on the discussion. but #ubuntu is not the place for such discussions02:58
truepurpleIt is not offtopic02:58
tsimpsonit is02:58
truepurpleAnd that person was not even in that channel02:58
truepurpleIts part of the topic of the tech support one is seeking02:58
elkyYou don't get to pry into people's qualifications because they volunteer information to you.02:59
tonyyarussoYou don't determine what is or is not on topic.  People like tsimpson do, so if he says it's offtopic, then it is.  What part of that don't you understand?02:59
elkyThis is not negotiable.02:59
tsimpsontruepurple: #ubuntu us for technical support, that is problem-solving. if you're interested in the technical details of the solution, or want to discuss why that solution is valid, #ubuntu is not the place03:00
truepurpleelky: I should be allowed to ask, whether they agree to answer is up to them.03:00
tonyyarussoNo, you shouldn't.  We've already been over that.03:01
truepurpleAnd negotiable, well lets say it should be discussable, negotiable means something slightly different03:01
tonyyarussoDo you have any new business that was not addressed already yesterday or earlier today?03:01
truepurpleAre many of you integral to the ubuntu community?03:02
elkytruepurple, this conversation is over. You are not allowed to challenge volunteers qualifications. If you want that option, pay for professional support via Canonical.03:02
truepurpleAre many of you integral to the ubuntu community?03:02
elkytruepurple, we run the channels. THat we are integral should be bleeding obvious.03:02
truepurpleChallenge is the wrong word, the word is inquire.03:03
tonyyarussoAlso, question is not relevent.03:03
truepurpleWhen you use words like challenge, you give it a unnecessarily negative connotation, like trying to offend or cause trouble03:03
elkytruepurple, this conversation is over. You are not allowed to challenge volunteers qualifications. If you want the option to inquire the qualifications of your helper, pay for professional support via Canonical and ask the professional qualified support folk there.03:03
truepurpleAnd then you just ignore me03:04
truepurpleI would request that you guys please learn to speak to people a little better03:04
ubottuuser called the ops in #ubuntu ()07:57

Tm_Tdon't need to be intelligent to feel sick though09:07
ikoniaI'm out, seems like a waste of time today, you say something in #ubuntu to get more info and people take it as a "fix" and start blindly guiding the user down that path09:15

PiciI'm not sure what ionite is doing. Tab completion on freenode's webchat definitely doesn't pm people./13:05
ikoniadoes webchat do tab complete ? I'd have thought it changes focus13:06

MalwarePLEASE UNBAN ME!!!! :( I NEED HELP WIFF UBUNTU18:45
oCeanAlso attacking other user, is unacceptable18:45
oCeanRight18:45
oCeanI think it's best for you to step away from the ubuntu channel for a while.18:45
Malwaresuck my dick you motherfucker18:45
hypatiaand perhaps the whole internet18:45
macoand that right there is why you need to leave18:45
hypatiayeah, that's not going to fly18:45
Malwarefuck, don't be such cock suckers18:46
oCeanMalware: you can leave this channel now, as we have nothing else to discuss at this point18:46
Malwaresuck my dick bitch18:47
rwwI'm getting mixed signals here.18:47
macorww: yeah me too18:48
oCeanthanks18:49
PiciJeeze, I can't leave you kids for 5 minutes.18:49
macoyay Pici!18:49
hypatia:p18:49
oCeanHe's even yelling in #freenode now18:52
oCeanPici: g0t has a script enabled, for which he's kicked multiple times in #u, I set a forward earlier this evening. He has in enabled in -server too20:54
Myrttioh20:57
oCeanha20:57
Myrttii thouggt i had done it few days ago in u20:58
oCeanthat was a kick I think?20:58
oCeannow banforwarded to -ops20:58
Myrttino, a ban too20:58
oCeanright 4200820:59
Myrttiyup20:59
oCeanwell, he's still with that script in -server, we have lack of ops in -server21:00
oCeannhandler: thx21:03
nhandleroCean: No problem. Poke me to remove the banforward when the #ubuntu one gets removed21:04
oCeannhandler: okay!21:06
rwwoCean: yeah, I keep hearing that -server's op coverage is suboptimal :(21:12
oCeantrue21:13
rwwIt might be useful if some of us sat in there and applied for ops there via the usual path. I dunno how much it'd matter as far as op applications go if we're not actually channel regulars :\21:14
oCeanthere's not much to do normally, but every now and then you'll find that there's no ops available21:14
oCeanI would not mind to do that, applying for ops there, that is21:15
oCeanrww: I see ikonia in list of pending members21:19
