[00:13] <Venom> why am i banned from #ubuntu?
[00:19] <Venom> why am i banned from #ubuntu?
[00:34] <IdleOne> For ban evasion and swearing
[00:34] <Venom> are you serious? I was able to get on last night
[00:34] <elky> Ah, hfsplus.
[00:34] <IdleOne> using which nick?
[00:35] <Venom> Venom?
[00:35] <IdleOne> nope
[00:35] <elky> 2012-02-22T19:49:46 <HFSPLUS> My penis is stuck in my 40oz budweiser (don't ask) how can i get it out? 2012-02-22T19:49:54 *** HFSPLUS (HFSPLUS!~HFSPLUS@c-66-30-163-4.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) has left #ubuntu (requested by LjL (HFSPLUS))
[00:35] <elky> * Venom (~Venom@c-66-30-163-4.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) has joined #ubuntu-ops
[00:35] <elky> Oops?
[00:36] <elky> Yeah, that ban won't be going away any time soon.
[00:36] <elky> Have a nice day!
[00:36] <Venom> give me a sec
[00:37] <Venom> i can look up my log file and i was on ubuntu last night
[00:37] <Venom> http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/07/28/%23ubuntu.html#t04:22
[00:38] <Venom> search venom
[00:38] <Venom> Venom	can i use virtualbox to create ubuntu server?	04:22
[00:38] <Venom> ed_	IdleOne: ok its done, I try all over again	04:22
[00:38] <Venom> IdleOne	Venom: yes
[00:39] <IdleOne> Venom: correct, but at the time I was unaware that you were ban evading.
[00:39] <Venom> i wasnt...
[00:40] <Venom> and i cant help notice my ip changed today
[00:40] <IdleOne> and it just happened to change to an IP that was banned yesterday
[00:41] <IdleOne> I'm not going to remove the ban.
[00:41] <IdleOne> I suggest you come back in 30 days and we can see then.
[00:42] <Venom> well i was banned from ubuntu forums the other day, and i had that ban removed because of of a wildcard ban because of some flooder
[00:42] <elky> This isn't a wildcard ban. This is a precise match
[00:43] <Venom> ok and i googled HFSPLUS@c-66-30-163-4.hsd1.ma.comcast.net and nothing came up
[00:43] <Venom> it would have came up in a log
[00:43] <elky> No it wouldn't.
[00:43] <elky> Those logs you linked to don't have join/quit
[00:43] <Venom> oh
[00:44] <Venom> what was my ip the other day i was on then?
[00:46] <Venom> ok so why can join other ubuntu like channels but not #ubuntu?
[00:47] <elky> Because each channel's ban list is independent
[00:48] <Venom> so am i welcome into those channels at least?
[00:49] <Venom> im not sure what the hell is going on maybe there is someone who gets my ip adresses and screws around or something but whatever
[00:50] <IdleOne> Venom: give us a moment please
[00:51] <elky> Or maybe you're using an ISP that a serial network-wide troll uses.
[00:52] <Venom> what is a serial network?
[00:52] <chu> "... serial, network-wide, troll"
[00:52] <Venom> im sorry if my IP is dynamic from comcast and i might get a trolls ip (if i do)
[00:53] <IdleOne> Venom: We are going to remove the ban, it is possible that you got tangled in someone else mess.
[00:53] <IdleOne> Let's hope this is not a bad idea and that we don't see you in here any more :)
[00:53] <Venom> IdleOne: that is what happened to me on ubuntu forums the other day
[00:53] <elky> You should consider giving your money to a less crap isp
[00:54] <Venom> elky: well i do that then i am stuck with DSL
[00:54] <elky> Venom, do you have vps's you can bounce your irc through?
[00:54] <IdleOne> Venom: ban has been removed, could you please join #ubuntu to make sure everything is ok. Please part this channel afterwards
[00:54] <Venom> what is vps?
[00:54] <elky> a server
[00:55] <Venom> elky: no
[00:55] <Venom> yes i can set it up
[00:55] <Venom> i will now part
[00:55] <Venom> cya =_
[00:55] <Venom> =)
[00:57] <chu> So, how about yolarrydabomb's quit message in #ubuntu?
[00:57] <IdleOne> you tell me :)
[00:58] <IdleOne> what would you do?
[00:59] <chu> I'm not sure how to deal with the quit messages! We had a similar thing from m00se in #ubuntu-offtopic a while ago, since I kind of know m00se, I was able to query him and sort it out, but in this case... I'm all out of ideas.
[00:59] <IdleOne> sounds like a good idea.
[02:36] <chu> Might want to remove the user cholby from #ubuntu if anyone's around.
[02:37] <bazhang> he's +b now
[02:38] <chu> Yep, cheers.
[07:54] <elky> bazhang, chu, cholby is a delightful one. has previously threatened to rape staff and idlers in #defocus
[07:55] <chu> Yes, delightful indeed.
[13:20] <pozic_> I was banned for no reason at all in #kubuntu.
[13:20] <bazhang> pozic_, hi
[13:21] <bazhang> pozic_, let me read the scrollback
[13:21] <pozic_> All I did was put Blu<whatever> in his place.
[13:21] <pozic_> It's supposed to be an 'official support channel', not a channel where I get further from a solution.
[13:22] <bazhang> pozic_, that was not necessary nor acceptable under ubuntu channel guidelines
[13:22] <pozic_> bazhang: so, providing bad advice (even on purpose) is acceptable?
[13:23] <pozic_> bazhang: so, next time I should just provide people with the worst possible advice and everything is OK?
[13:23] <pozic_> bazhang: because that's sort of what it looks like.
[13:24] <pozic_> bazhang: retardation is the cure for the popularity in Ubuntu related distros?
[13:25] <pozic_> bazhang: i.e. scare all the people with a brain larger than a nut away to other places such that Canonical support becomes more appealing?
[13:25] <pozic_> bazhang: I don't know, but that's a bit what it looks like; a dumbification of the user base.
[13:25] <bazhang> pozic_, please calm down.
[13:25] <pozic_> bazhang: everything I am describing is consistent with the data.
[13:26] <bazhang> pozic_, nothing is going to be resolved with a non-calm manner
[13:26] <pozic_> bazhang: I am very calm.
[13:26] <bazhang> pozic_, it does not seem that way at all
[13:26] <pozic_> bazhang: I just happen to have a different view on this walled garden you have created.
[13:26] <pozic_> bazhang: instead of it being a paid walled garden, there is a stupidity filter.
[13:27] <pozic_> But still a walled garden.
[13:27] <bazhang> pozic_, this channel is to resolve ban issues and such, not to complain about Ubuntu as a whole
[13:27] <pozic_> bazhang: I am complaining about the way ikonia is ban happy.
[13:28] <pozic_> ikonia is itself plagued with mental retardation.
[13:28] <pozic_> Just look at his/her advice.
[13:28] <bazhang> pozic_, being abrasive and name-calling other users is not acceptable. any moderator witnessing same will take action, so let's not blame a single one
[13:29] <pozic_> bazhang: and in general there is a trend to kick out everyone who does not agree with the one true Truth of these channels.
[13:30] <LjL> pozic_: next time it's going to be a ban. you have a long history of bans, i'm not letting you call people names or otherwise be abusive in here.
[13:30] <pozic_> LjL: and in that history of bans every single time I was surrounded by morons, wasn't I?
[13:30] <pozic_> LjL: so, please fix your IQ filter.
[13:31] <pozic_> LjL: I was even trying to help someone in #kubuntu.
[13:31] <pozic_> LjL: but then some idiot (ikonia) banned me.
[14:15] <bazhang> why did timewarper notice #kubuntu then go off in #ubuntu
[14:16] <DJones> Just hit xubuntu as well
[14:16] <bazhang> and removed. now some nasty PM
