[00:13] <IdleOne> Welcome to the new ops and congrats to all of the old ops who have more channels to look at now :)
[00:52] <stlsaint> negroid offensive??
[01:06] <IdleOne> combined with someone who is issuing multiple !factoids for no reason, yes.
[01:08] <bkerensa> =o
[01:13] <stlsaint> smh
[03:19] <Tm_T> welcome to our lair, bkerensa
[05:04] <Unit193> Howdy chu, aren't you the new offtopic person?
[05:04] <Unit193> Pricey: Still around?
[05:05] <chu> Unit193: Apparently, I received an email saying I was approved by AlanBell
[05:05] <Unit193> Cool, welcome to the OPs team! Someone will be by to fix you up with +V
[05:06] <chu> Thank you.
[05:30] <Corey> Wheeeeeeeeee.
[05:35] <ldunn> *gasp*
[05:35]  * ldunn tickles chu
[05:36] <chu> :)
[05:59] <Fuchs> hai chu and congratulations
[05:59] <chu> Thank you Fuchs.
[06:11] <elky> s/congratulations/haha, sucked in/
[06:11] <chu> :)
[06:11] <Unit193> Now you'll be tormented by me, sorry mate.
[06:12] <chu> Ahh, you may not be familiar with my work. I believe I will be the one tormenting you!!!
[06:12] <elky> Where do we place bets on the value of $time_until_chu_gets_a_fanclub?
[06:12] <ldunn> My money is on 10 minutes ago
[06:12]  * ldunn waves a Chu #1 flag
[06:12] <elky> Heh
[06:12] <chu> Haha
[06:13] <ldunn> Welcome to the fold
[06:13] <ldunn> from which you will never escape.
[06:13] <chu> That's ok, I had the chance and wasn't interested.
[06:31] <topyli> heh. i keep messing this up. focus, topyli!
[06:31] <chu> Not enough coffee!!
[06:32] <topyli> indeed, only just making some!
[06:32] <chu> Coffee is necessary *before* IRC.
[06:32] <chu> (and often during)
[06:36] <bkerensa> Tm_T: thx
[06:36] <Fuchs> coffee is overrated
[06:39]  * bkerensa is trying to convert to tea
[06:39] <ldunn> good coffee is the best.
[06:39] <chu> Whoa, ldunn drinks coffee?!
[06:39] <ldunn> not regularly
[06:40] <bkerensa> only coffee I like is Caramel Macchiato Iced or Hot :P
[06:41] <bioterror> that has nothing to do with coffee :D
[06:41] <topyli> oops, still op
[06:42] <topyli> turns out i'm not authorised to edit the access list. should find the irccouncil credentials from somewhere :)
[06:43] <Fuchs> topyli: or get someone with +f
[06:43] <Fuchs> a few were around yesterday
[06:43] <topyli> aye
[06:45] <topyli> (although i suppose i should find the credetials in any case :)
[06:57] <topyli> there. maybe
[06:58] <jussi> elky: 3 days.
[06:59] <chu> Thanks topyli.
[06:59] <chu> Hey jussi
[06:59] <chu> Was *this* what you wanted to tell me last night?
[06:59] <jussi> no
[07:00] <jussi> topyli: you fail :P
[07:00]  * jussi hugs topyli
[07:00] <topyli> jussi: absolutely. got further validation though, which is always nice
[07:01] <topyli> also, welcome to the funny farm chu :)
[07:01] <chu> :)
[07:02] <jussi> chu: Welcome to HELL :D
[07:02] <jussi> would you like a drink?
[07:02] <jussi> :D
[07:02] <ldunn> We have drinks?
[07:02] <chu> ldunn: You're not 18.
[07:02] <ldunn> Hell doesn't have a drinking age. That's part of what makes it hell!
[07:03] <chu> Good point.
[07:08] <jussi> hey, I never said anything about alcohol
[07:08] <Myrtti> yeah, exactly what I need for my personal hell, drunk people ruining their lives... no wait, I already have one, never mind
[09:25] <chu> Any recommended reading for operator status? I found some stuff on `irchelp.org' but anything more would be appreciated.
[09:30] <AlanBell> chu: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/03/12/%23ubuntu-classroom.html#t19:59 we will be running a bunch of training sessions like that one again for the new intake of operators
[09:30] <AlanBell> including setting up a sandpit channel for playing about with kicks and bans and quiets etc
[09:31] <chu> Awesome, thanks for that.
[09:38] <Unit193> http://toxin.jottit.com/ *can* be helpful, as can a few others.
[09:39] <AlanBell> pm spam from abtocus, not sure via which channel
[09:44] <chu> May I ask some questions in here?
[09:54] <topyli> chu: or -ops-team, depending on the questions :)
[09:55] <topyli> ah, you already found it
[09:59] <Pricey> Unit193: Sorry, 5 in the morning was a little much ;-)
[09:59] <Unit193> Tue, 05 Jun 2012 05:59:23 -0400
[09:59] <Unit193> Good for you, actually sleeping.
[10:19] <LjL> @mark #ubuntu levinlavidaloca CoJaBo reports they're PM spamming
[10:25] <bazhang> wasn't Oxymoron the one who was going to write his own OS?
[10:25] <bazhang> and now he's complaining that user error are bugs in Kubuntu
[10:26] <ikonia> bazhang: I've given him a final warning, explaining the issue clearly, so this will not continue
[10:38] <topyli> @btlogin
[10:41] <elky> hmm, I just got a spam from abrakadabra but can't see them in any channels i'm in.
[10:42] <elky> spam of the "please come be staff on our server" type
[10:45] <mrmist> elky: what was the actual content?
[10:45] <elky> mrmist, PMd
[10:46] <elky> i'd say they joined somewhere, got the user list, parted. i just haven't found where yet
[10:47] <mrmist> fiendish!
[10:56] <jussi> mrmist: you shouldnt abuse your spare account like that :P :P :P
[10:56] <mrmist> i know :(
[11:24] <ikonia> @mark #kubuntu almoxarife asking for help - then blew his cover that he's running KDE on mint
[14:49] <GridCube> hello, there is a spammer/flooder on #ubuntu-es-cafe called ojitos
[14:49] <bazhang> GridCube, #ubuntu-irc would be the place to report that
[14:49] <GridCube> okay
[18:22] <bkerensa> AlanBell: Do we have a list of aliases for xchat that work?
[18:23] <AlanBell> dunno, I use irssi, someone might have such a list
[18:23] <oCean> aliases?
[18:24] <bkerensa> yeah for the popup dialogs to make things more one click versus typing commands out
[18:24] <oCean> bkerensa: I use xchat with seveas' chanserv.py, little bit modified
[18:25] <bkerensa> oCean: ah I'll check it out
[18:25] <oCean> but that is nothing clickable, but makes commands easier
[18:25] <oCean> like, /cs r nick removes that nick
[18:26] <oCean> bkerensa: and welcome btw :)
[18:26] <Unit193> !chanserv.py | bkerensa
[18:26] <bkerensa> oCean: thanks :)
[18:28] <oCean> original chanserv.py only works with REMOVE, I added KICK too
[18:32] <DJones> bkerensa: From http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/03/12/%23ubuntu-classroom.html#t19:59   http://myrtti.fi/xchatalias
[18:41] <bkerensa> DJones: Do you know how to load the whole list?
[18:42] <DJones> I don't I use irssi, for that, I just cut & pasted the whole lot in one go, don't know if its the same in xchat
[18:42] <DJones> Give me a sec, I'll try it in xchat
[18:43] <DJones> That idea didn't work
[18:43] <DJones> Just gave me unknown command
[18:44] <Myrtti> you can't load the list of aliases in xchat
[18:44] <Myrtti> need to enter them by hand
[18:44] <Myrtti> might be too much trouble, use chanserv.py.
[18:48] <bkerensa> Myrtti: just through adding them to the userlist popup right?
[18:50] <Myrtti> to be honest I have no clue, I've never used xchat
[18:50] <bkerensa> kk
[18:50]  * bkerensa will figure it out
[18:51] <oCean> bkerensa: yeah, I would not recommend the "Userlist buttons..." instead, load chanserv.py and try to work with that
[18:52] <bkerensa> oCean: I loaded it but it seems to not be working
[18:53] <oCean> did it say Loaded Chanserv helper.... ?
[18:53] <bkerensa> yeah
[18:53] <bkerensa> but for instance /cs deop bkerensa
[18:53] <bkerensa> does nothing in a test channel
[18:54] <oCean> bkerensa: chanserv should be in that channel
[18:55] <bkerensa> oCean: ahh I got it working now
[19:01] <Pici> it doesn't need to be, but it does need to be registered channel.
[19:02] <oCean> Oh! :)
[19:25] <bkerensa> oCean: do you have a forked version of chanserv.py you wanna share that has the remove and customizations? :)
[19:38] <oCean> bkerensa: sure, but all I did was adding actual /kick command. Originally seveas uses Freenode's /remove command, my version has /cs k for kick and /cs r for remove
[19:41] <oCean> bkerensa: http://somedom.com/files/
[19:51] <oCean> bkerensa: also, I started out with seveas' 2.1 version, his current version is 2.2.1, so you might be better off using his anyway.
[19:54] <oCean> it's over, we're finished. The site is down and someone is blogging about it
[19:54] <oCean> might as well go home
[19:54] <LjL> LordH3lment: troll, or just, uh, really excited about random things that happen? :|
[20:28] <Jon--> During an altercation with one of the ops, I was banned from #ubuntu. I have two questions : 1) is this a perm ban? and 2) how can I appeal this action? I would like assistance with Ubuntu at the moment and I cannot access the channel.
[20:30] <Jon--atwork> Please redirect Jon-- question to this user. Thank you for your time/assistance in the matter
[20:39] <Jordan_U> Jon--atwork: The first step to getting your ban removed is to join this channel and discuss it, so far so good. Do you know why you were banned?
[20:42] <Jon--atwork> Jordan_U, I was banned because I was speaking to one of the ops with disrespect. Specifically, I believe I called him a "fucking idiot". I understand that this behaviour clashes with the ideals of Ubuntu, and I shouldn't have done so. I was frustrated at the time, it was a mistake.
[20:42] <Jon--atwork> Apologies for language, just being truthful ^
[20:45] <AlanBell> not quite what you said, but the details don't matter much
[20:47] <AlanBell> Jon--atwork: our support channels are there so that volunteers can provide support to others because it is fun to do. It can be frustrating if you have an issue that is not easily progressing to a resolution, however abusing supporters means that it isn't fun any more.
[20:48] <Jon--atwork> AlanBell, I understand. I actually assist in #ubuntu about half the time and am there for assistance the other half. I feel like crap for being such a jerk.
[20:48] <AlanBell> this means people go away and don't give their time to help others, lowering the value of the channel for everyone, this is why we remove people who are agressive towards people who are trying to help them
[20:50] <AlanBell> you were banned for pretty much identical circumstances almost exactly two years ago as well
[20:50] <AlanBell> please try to remain unbanned well past June 2014
[20:51] <IdleOne> 2076 would be better :)
[20:52] <Jon--atwork> AlanBell, I'll give it at least 3 this time ;D. Kidding aside, I'll behave.
[21:01] <Jon--atwork> AlanBell, Does that mean that the ban will be revoked?
[21:02] <IdleOne> Jon--atwork: sit tight for a few :)
[21:03] <IdleOne> !guidelines
[21:03] <IdleOne> not sure if you are familiar with the guidelinesbut you might want to take a look
[21:03] <IdleOne> while you wait
[21:12] <IdleOne> Jon--atwork: can you please join #ubuntu now
[21:28] <Jon--atwork> IdleOne, Workec
[21:28] <Jon--atwork> Worked*
[21:28] <Jon--atwork> Thanks IdleOne AlanBell.
[21:31] <IdleOne> sure thing. have a good night
[21:33] <IdleOne> Jon--atwork: If you could part this channel so that we don't lose track of who needs helping that would be great.

[23:18] <h00k> Unit193: oh, you're in #xubuntu and #xubuntu-offtopic, yes?
[23:24] <Unit193> Darn, you remembered.  Did you end up applying for the IRCC position though?
[23:25] <h00k> Unit193: uh
[23:25] <h00k> *cough*
[23:25] <h00k> no.
[23:25] <h00k> I'm a bit preoccupied attempting to change companies I work for :(
[23:28] <Unit193> Alright, was just following up. :)

[23:32] <h00k> but. feh.
