=== evilniko is now known as niko [01:33] glosoli in #ubuntu claims "some guy called 'eBay' pm'ed me but talked in france, when I asked to talk english he denied doing it, dunno if he is a spam bot or what" [01:35] Since I've been hearing a lot of complaints about people PMing users in #ubuntu, but it's obviously not clear-cut since we don't see it and it is technically outside the channel, do we have a policy for dealing with situations like this? [02:14] generally, PMing people who you don't already know out of the blue is bad manners [02:15] I understand that. What I mean is, how should we as operators deal with people like eBay who have been accused of said PMing. [02:19] tell them to not. if there is several reports, you can assume it's true [02:19] and if it's true, you can prevent them from using our user list [02:19] you can't stop them, but it's harder to sift through a who search than it is to sit in a channel and use tabcomplete [03:27] prince_jammys called the ops in #ubuntu (selite) [06:41] when a report like that comes, I always /cycle to see if I can confirm myself a msg on join bot [09:55] FloodBotK1 called the ops in #kubuntu-ops-monitor (repeated abuse from yon__) [10:53] yon__ still being an issue in #k [10:54] bazhang called the ops in #kubuntu (yon__) [10:56] [Automato Mhnuma]: hello ti kanete What is Dark Nova script? [10:56] (joined in #u) [10:56] yep saw that [10:57] bazhang: want ops there? [10:58] if no other kubuntu ops are around [10:58] AlanBell, sure [11:00] AlanBell, thanks. he's now trolling in the other channels he's in, but not ubuntu namespace. s o not our issue [15:05] In ubottu, arand said: !t-#ubuntu-se is blah [15:05] In ubottu, arand said: !tes-#ubuntu-se is blah [16:47] what do i do about yarak and their unicode stuff? claims not to know it's even there, but people are going to complain. [16:48] it can't be otr [16:50] popey: tut-tut for telling someone to google it when you could have given them the link! *tut* *tut* [16:51] seriously? [16:51] I believe there was discussion along those lines here earlier [16:51] don't be mad *snuggle* [16:52] *sigh* [16:52] I wonder if that extra character is meant to emit a noise or something in some IRC clients [16:53] no idea. also, he claims to be using X-Chat but has an mIRC version string and is in ##windows [16:53] this smells fishy to me [16:53] it could be mirc then [16:53] and some fishy script [16:53] he's making a meal of it now [16:54] he is a bit [17:02] also ident is GAYMAN_LOG, fwiw [17:02] he isn't using xchat unless he purposefully changed his version reply [17:02] that's what he said he did [17:03] so he set it to reply with the default mirc reply? [17:03] i doubt it. [17:04] anyway he also just recommended "losethos" which from quick googling seems like some quite dubious OS, a C64-clone or something made by someone who claims to be inspired by God... [17:04] i don't see anything good coming out of this :\ [17:50] [18:49:16] LukeNukem: Empathy is the progam you're looking for [17:50] did i miss anything or was lukenukem asking about php programming and mail servers...? [17:53] seems he was ignored anyway [17:53] maybe alden missed something. [20:02] @mark #ubuntu CAPITALISMUS Probably a troll, asking whether the mouse is going to be deprecated in +1 after I told him to stop being offtopic [20:02] The operation succeeded. [21:39] guntbert called the ops in #ubuntu (Emery) [22:37] ssta called the ops in #ubuntu (montar)
