ubottuwaxstone called the ops in #ubuntu ()01:09
pangolinsolved01:09
pangolinawxi, you won't be unbanned.01:09
awxiwhy the bloody fuck did i get banned?01:10
awxireason?01:10
pangolinthe same reasons why i told you not to post links like the one you did in #ubuntu01:10
awxiI did not post01:10
pangolin!guidelines | have a read and come back in 48 hrs01:11
ubottuhave a read and come back in 48 hrs: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines01:11
awxiI only asked what's wrong with it01:11
awxiI don't really see the offensive material01:11
awxiIt's family friendly since it's not rated on youtube.01:11
pangolinyoutube doesn't decide what we consider family friendly01:11
awxiIT's educative content ffs.01:12
awxiIt's a song about fucking a dog in the ass, how could you find that unsafe to children?01:12
Myrttiyou've been told that cursing is not tolerated in the Ubuntu IRC channels. Why are you continuing it even now here on this channel after being told off for it and being kicked from a channel?01:12
awxiwhat cursing?01:12
pangolinawxi, I'm not going to argue with you about something that clearly goes against our channel guidelines01:12
awxiwhen did i curse ffs?01:13
pangolinacronyms of sayings that include cursing are not allowed either01:13
Myrttiit's getting a bit tiresome. F-word is - as you and I and rest of the planet knows - cursing.01:13
awxiI did not curse, I only linked to youtube.01:13
awxiCURSING?01:13
awxihooow in the world01:14
elky<awxi> how is it cursing wanting to fuck a dog?01:14
awxihow is "fuck" a cursing word?01:14
Myrttiare we done here?01:14
pangolinI am.01:14
MyrttiI think we are done here01:14
elkyI think so, Myrtti01:14
Myrttiso, as we were saying01:15
MyrttiYES, it actually is a curseword.01:15
Myrttiyou were told off for using it, you didn't heed, so you got removed.01:15
Myrttialso, the content of the video was questionable.01:16
Myrttiso - one more reason for removal01:16
Myrttiso.01:21
Myrttihow is it. I'm not letting you in if you'll continue the offtopic or the foul language01:21
pangolinawxi, so as I said earlier, come back in 48 hrs and we can discuss removing the ban.01:31
awxiBut I want to help :(01:32
pangolinYou can, after you come back in 48 hrs and we discuss.01:33
pangolinPlease talk in here and not in PM. I have too many windows to keep up with.01:34
awxipangolin, checking your last one would be appreciated.01:37
awxihave a nice ...01:37

ikoniaok, thanks.08:49
ikoniaI'm assume you want to be unbanned ?08:49
hiexposure08:49
hiexpo:)08:49
ikoniaso what's the issue with you ? looking at the history you've been banned/tried to evade bans a number of times this year and it's only just the end of Febuary ?08:49
ikoniais there a problem with your understanding the rules of the channel, or self control ? or what ? w08:50
hiexpoI didn't know I had been banned any other times this year08:50
ikoniayeah you do08:50
ikoniabut if you want - you've also been banned last year08:51
hiexpono  I understand the rules08:51
ikoniayou show up a fair few times in our tracker tool08:51
ikoniaso why ?08:51
hiexpoikonia, i know i got banned once last year yes08:51
ikoniaI'm asking as I want to know what's going on, rather than unban you, you get banned you apologies, you get re-banned etc and it's a loop08:51
ikoniait basically seems to be you can't stay ontopic in the channel/continue to make silly comments08:52
ikoniawhy ?08:52
hiexpoikonia, sillyness  i guess > I won't let it happen again > just learn to keeep my mouth shut08:53

hiexpoikonia, thank you   > and all i do is try to help out in there > but i agree sometimes i domake sillyness comments08:55
ikoniaI appreciate you try to help, but the reality is, you don't, you just cause diruption08:55

GirlyGirlBonjour, je n'arrive pas a rejoindre #ubuntu-fr-offtopic, ça me redirige sur #ubuntu-fr-lire-le-topic. Je suis identifiée sur Freenode.18:35
GirlyGirlOops sorry wrong ops channel18:35
oCeanHello Jonta19:11
JontaoCean: Hi there19:11
oCeanWhat can we do for you?19:11
JontaI saw the passage I think you meant, and I think e.g. "google gparted" is better than providing a URL. Teach a man to fish etc. (:19:12
oCeanFirst of all, it is not a "new" rule/guideline19:13
oCean!google19:13
ubottuWhile Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question.19:13
oCean^this factoid has been there since 200619:13
Jonta(didn't think it _was_ new either) (:19:14
oCeanpeople do know that google exists, but they came in the channel for a reason19:14
oCeaneither they don't know how to use google to find useful answers, or they just want to talk/discuss the issue with someone19:14
oCean"google gparted"  results in many links, which one should I use?19:15
oCeanwhich one has useful content?19:15
oCeanJonta: besides our guidelines, we also have a supportersguide: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/SupportersGuide19:16
JontaWell, I don't think the case where you remarked on it in my case was very general, and there's still learning how to fish. Statistics show that people will use the top 2 links in an overwhelming majority of cases.19:17
oCeanSo?19:18
Tm_T#ubuntu is not for teaching to fish, it's there to provide support19:18
oCeanJonta: if there's nothing else to discuss, would you please /part this channel?19:25
JontaTm_T: Well, they're not mutually exclusive.19:26
Tm_TI'm aware (:19:26
JontaTm_T: Well, I usually try to do both. Providing search-phrases that are specific enough.19:28
JontaAnd I don't like it myself when somebody just pastes a URL (:19:28
oCeanJonta: telling someone to "google foo" is not teaching him how to fish for foo, you only give them a rod. Teaching someone to fish would be to teacht the other person to learn to differentiate in useful and unusable results19:29
Tm_ToCean: well put19:29
JontaoCean: Well, "google gparted" might've been a bad example.19:29
oCeanJonta: I'd rather have a URL from someone telling me "I have good experience using this page" than "google this_or_that"19:30
macoIMO, the thing to do is tell them the link with the howto and the keywords you used to find it, because for example, someone might not know the word for "make the drive available to use" is "mount"19:30
JontaWell, then we differ on that.19:30
Jonta(last one for oCean )19:31
Tm_Tmaco: indeed, providing a search phrase is never bad thing to do, but only as an addition to the help19:31
macoagreed19:31
JontaNoted.19:32
