[01:56] <Ben64> can something be done about the huge influx of offtopic banter and trolling recently?
[01:57] <Ben64> channel is getting filled with nonsense
[02:32] <Ben64> is anyone around?
[02:33] <Ben64> channel has been being overrun the past day by trolls
[02:35] <IdleOne> Ben64: it makes it easier if you're more specific please.
[02:35] <IdleOne> We really do appreciate you looking out so please don't get me wrong
[02:36] <Ben64> oh you know, like <symetrik> I meant I was trying to reach #ratherbadOSthatisoverusedbecausepeoplethinkitisgoodforsomethingotherthanmarketingtothelowerIQofourpopulation
[02:36] <Ben64> bin_bash who has been trolling on and off for hours
[02:36] <IdleOne> I'm just saying is that we aren't always looking and sometimes it isn't obvious at a glance
[02:36] <Ben64> last night the same few people were coming in and out doing all sorts of stuff
[02:37] <IdleOne> seems they have calmed down for now. I'll try to keep a closer eye on the channel
[02:37] <bazhang> stuff?
[02:37] <bazhang> such as what
[02:37] <IdleOne> Again, we do appreciate your helping us
[02:38] <Ben64> Feb 06 2013 05:18:38 <sini>	it just won't into facebook and my boyfriend is hella mad about it
[02:38] <Ben64> that went on for a long time last night
[02:39] <Ben64> i know trolling happens, but it's seemed to increase in the past day or so
[02:39] <bazhang> did you try to direct them to offtopic channel?
[02:39] <Ben64> oh yes
[02:39] <IdleOne> Ben64: sometimes just a nice little "c'mon dude, plese stop" does wonders
[02:39] <Ben64> it wasn't just questions directed at the wrong spot, it had to be intentional
[02:40] <Ben64> Feb 06 2013 04:20:35 <sini>	I tried deleting system32 but my computer is still alive?
[02:40] <Ben64> i don't know, just makes it hard to see actual problems when stuff like that is happening
[02:40] <IdleOne> clearly appears to be a windows question :)
[02:41] <IdleOne> but don't send obvious trolls to other help channels. (Need to say this to make sure we all know it)
[02:42] <Ben64> is it recommended to pop in this channel, or would !ops be better during trolls
[02:42] <IdleOne> the osp trigger is really for emergencies, something that needs to be stopped NOW
[02:42] <IdleOne> ops*
[02:42] <Ben64> yeah, i usually try to come in here and say something
[02:43] <IdleOne> which is fine, just give us a little more detail. The persons nick at the minimum
[02:43] <Ben64> ok got it
[02:43] <IdleOne> Thank you
[02:45] <bazhang> check out Poolshark_
[02:46] <IdleOne> that question is way out of my league
[02:49] <IdleOne> is any of that making any sense?
[02:50] <Ben64> see, stuff like that. where they're talking nonsense to one another, most likely all the same person. bin_bash, PoolShark_, Uuni
[02:50] <bazhang> yeppers
[02:51] <Ben64> i've been thinking for a while that PoolShark_ and bin_bash were related
[02:51] <Ben64> oh, and gelph
[02:55] <Ben64> well I wish you luck. looks like tonight may be busy for you all.
[02:55] <bazhang> kindred spirits for sure

[11:55] <bazhang> lhavelund, wubi not supported? since when
[11:55] <lhavelund> wait
[11:55] <lhavelund> we support wubi?
[11:55] <lhavelund> !wubi
[11:55] <bazhang> yes...
[11:55] <lhavelund> i was under the impression it was not supported
[11:55] <lhavelund> my apologies
[11:55] <bazhang> not recommended..
[11:55] <lhavelund> fair enough!
[12:10] <Myrtti> you can always back out by telling that it's not meant to be a permanent solution
 What is the speed of download via torrent?
[12:19] <bazhang> 42 parsecs!
 Can i hack facebook with backtrack R53?
 Stop asking me questions
[17:52] <bazhang> just joined
[17:53] <Pici> just kicked
[17:54] <bazhang> operator and he are the the same IP it appears
[19:36] <Fuchs> AlanBell / IdleOne: hlve is forwarding his sillynes from #ubuntu-woman to defocus, it seems he is just up for trolling.
[19:36] <AlanBell> yeah, no doubt
[19:36] <IdleOne> Started with GeorgeTrowell
[19:36] <Fuchs> what a happy bunch of lovely people, then.
[19:36] <Fuchs> good luck.
[19:38] <IdleOne> 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] <Fuchs> 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] <IdleOne> Wasn't that big of an issue. thanks for saying something to them in defocus :)
[19:40] <Fuchs> you're welcome
[21:52] <Fuchs> do you guys here feel responsible for #ubuntu-devel   or should that go to -irc?
[21:52] <Fuchs> guys and gals, sorry
[21:52] <IdleOne> -irc technically
[21:52] <IdleOne> but whats up?
[21:53] <Fuchs> I just forwarded a user to ##fix_your_connection  because no local ops seemed to be around and users complained to us,
[21:53] <Fuchs> he seems to have cycled in other channels as well, where he got forwarded (ev)
[21:53] <Fuchs> 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] <IdleOne> yup, I set the same forward on them in another channel also
[21:54] <Fuchs> 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] <Fuchs> This was a jfyi, I assume it has been noticed, then. Have a nice day <3
[21:55] <IdleOne> you too, thanks
