[01:56] can something be done about the huge influx of offtopic banter and trolling recently? [01:57] channel is getting filled with nonsense [02:32] is anyone around? [02:33] channel has been being overrun the past day by trolls [02:35] Ben64: it makes it easier if you're more specific please. [02:35] We really do appreciate you looking out so please don't get me wrong [02:36] oh you know, like I meant I was trying to reach #ratherbadOSthatisoverusedbecausepeoplethinkitisgoodforsomethingotherthanmarketingtothelowerIQofourpopulation [02:36] bin_bash who has been trolling on and off for hours [02:36] I'm just saying is that we aren't always looking and sometimes it isn't obvious at a glance [02:36] last night the same few people were coming in and out doing all sorts of stuff [02:37] seems they have calmed down for now. I'll try to keep a closer eye on the channel [02:37] stuff? [02:37] such as what [02:37] Again, we do appreciate your helping us [02:38] Feb 06 2013 05:18:38 it just won't into facebook and my boyfriend is hella mad about it [02:38] that went on for a long time last night [02:39] i know trolling happens, but it's seemed to increase in the past day or so [02:39] did you try to direct them to offtopic channel? [02:39] oh yes [02:39] Ben64: sometimes just a nice little "c'mon dude, plese stop" does wonders [02:39] it wasn't just questions directed at the wrong spot, it had to be intentional [02:40] Feb 06 2013 04:20:35 I tried deleting system32 but my computer is still alive? [02:40] i don't know, just makes it hard to see actual problems when stuff like that is happening [02:40] clearly appears to be a windows question :) [02:41] but don't send obvious trolls to other help channels. (Need to say this to make sure we all know it) [02:42] is it recommended to pop in this channel, or would !ops be better during trolls [02:42] the osp trigger is really for emergencies, something that needs to be stopped NOW [02:42] ops* [02:42] yeah, i usually try to come in here and say something [02:43] which is fine, just give us a little more detail. The persons nick at the minimum [02:43] ok got it [02:43] Thank you [02:45] check out Poolshark_ [02:46] that question is way out of my league [02:49] is any of that making any sense? [02:50] see, stuff like that. where they're talking nonsense to one another, most likely all the same person. bin_bash, PoolShark_, Uuni [02:50] yeppers [02:51] i've been thinking for a while that PoolShark_ and bin_bash were related [02:51] oh, and gelph [02:55] well I wish you luck. looks like tonight may be busy for you all. [02:55] kindred spirits for sure [06:58] @mark #ubuntu lupeng (~lupeng@CPE-76-177-204-193.natcky.res.rr.com) off topic weirdness [06:59] The operation succeeded. [09:40] what is th following mean "DCC CHAT from" [09:40] gnomefreak: someone is trying to DCC chat with you [09:40] s/th/the [09:41] Tm_T: ok so it is safe than? [09:41] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Client-to-Client [09:41] it's safe to ignore [09:41] thanks [09:42] ofcourse, as long as it's not for attempting to poke security holes in your client I suppose [09:44] that is what i was thihingg that is why i asked [09:45] i hzve someone pm me to help aith a 3G card [09:45] he is the person that did the DCC [11:55] lhavelund, wubi not supported? since when [11:55] wait [11:55] we support wubi? [11:55] !wubi [11:55] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Oneiric/11.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/oneiric/wubi.exe [11:55] yes... [11:55] i was under the impression it was not supported [11:55] my apologies [11:55] not recommended.. [11:55] fair enough! [12:10] you can always back out by telling that it's not meant to be a permanent solution [12:19] What is the speed of download via torrent? [12:19] 42 parsecs! [12:27] Can i hack facebook with backtrack R53? [17:52] Stop asking me questions [17:52] just joined [17:53] just kicked [17:54] operator and he are the the same IP it appears [19:36] AlanBell / IdleOne: hlve is forwarding his sillynes from #ubuntu-woman to defocus, it seems he is just up for trolling. [19:36] yeah, no doubt [19:36] Started with GeorgeTrowell [19:36] what a happy bunch of lovely people, then. [19:36] good luck. [19:38] Seems to me a network issue, when the network social channel is being used to coordinate and discuss the trolling of another channel. They have all left now. [19:38] not a network issue, no. Just people being silly. I told them to drop it in #defocus. It was hardly coordinating, more just "oh, we are so cool" [19:39] Wasn't that big of an issue. thanks for saying something to them in defocus :) [19:40] you're welcome [20:11] FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (MrSaku appears to be abusive and has been muted, will need to be UNMUTED MANUALLY) [21:52] do you guys here feel responsible for #ubuntu-devel or should that go to -irc? [21:52] guys and gals, sorry [21:52] -irc technically [21:52] but whats up? [21:53] I just forwarded a user to ##fix_your_connection because no local ops seemed to be around and users complained to us, [21:53] he seems to have cycled in other channels as well, where he got forwarded (ev) [21:53] I am not very familiar with your ban tracker, I commented it in ubottu I think, just wanted to make sure you guys and gals know :) [21:54] yup, I set the same forward on them in another channel also [21:54] Yeah, if I see more we might have to look into a different solution, but so far I didn't hear more complaints. [21:54] This was a jfyi, I assume it has been noticed, then. Have a nice day <3 [21:55] you too, thanks
