fishbaitcan i get unbanned on grounds of my own stupidity05:35
fishbaiti was trying to send five set to 2 dots to elicit a human response that way i'd know if i was alone or if someone could hear a chat error test if u will unfortunately i sent them way too fast ...i am human mind you (in case the thinking is that i'm some sort of advanced bot.)05:37
fishbaitV.V no response someone please help me?05:39
Jordan_Ufishbait: I was just about to respond to you. That unfortunately shows that you haven't quite learned the lesson of being patient.05:39
fishbaitahh i see i'm just used to the rapid response times seen in #ubuntu usually response flew in almost immediately05:40
Jordan_Ufishbait: Unless there are network errors it's pretty safe to say that there's always *someone* awake in #ubuntu. In addition, even on channels where that's not the case (like this one, and 99% of other IRC channels) it's still impolite to prod in that way. You should simply ask your question and wait patiently for an answer, if nobody knows the answer then nobody will answer.05:43
fishbaitah ty  will network errors show a notice in chat?05:44
Jordan_UNo, but it's usually pretty clear when there are network errors especially in #ubuntu. In #ubuntu, if there are less than 100 connected users, it's safe to say that somthings going wrong. If it's a netsplit that leaves you with more than 100 people but less still not able to see everyone, chances are that those that you are able to see will be talking about the problem.05:46
fishbaitah well now i know how to spot the problems i was probing for now is there anything that can be done about the ban??05:48
Jordan_Ufishbait: If you're worried that your client isn't working, you can join #test and do tests there. As you can tell, if you're muted or banned from the channel your client will give you an error message (when you try to talk or join, respectively).05:48
fishbaitnuted i can still join but can't talk05:48
fishbait*muted05:48
fishbaiti'm using the webchat client05:49
Jordan_UCorrect, currently you're just muted (technically you'd be completely banned if you tried to connect from a normal IRC client, but that's not really important).05:50
Jordan_Ufishbait: Do you understand not to ever do such "tests" in #ubuntu?05:51
fishbaityes now05:51
Jordan_Ufishbait: Try parting and then rejoining the channel and you should be able to talk. Then (just for the irony) please try talking in the channel to confirm that you can :)05:53
