[08:23] Morning [15:37] I wonder whether horrorxstory in #u is HFSplus/FearTheLOrd etc both comcast hosts [15:37] both are trolls wfm [15:37] I thought FTL came from ma, not mi [15:37] yeah [15:37] difference there [15:38] Yeah, you're right with that [15:38] Ah well [15:38] I have to say I'm truly ashamed of my good memory in these things [15:38] so much wasted brain power [15:39] Myrtti: Something I was wondering before was a ban on the .myvzw.com address, could you have a look at the following to see if its possible [15:39] Would it be possible to set a ban on *!*@*.sub-174*.myvzw.com I wasn't sure if you can set a ban with widlcard within it [15:40] Would it be possible to set a ban on *!*@*.sub-174*.myvzw.com I wasn't sure if you can set a ban with widlcard within it and the sub-174 and myvzw.com appear to be the only consistent parts of the hostname and there doesn't appear to be any other users coming from the sub-174 range of addresses [15:40] This is the one that keeps picking users in #u and then pm'ing obscene/racist/offensive comments [15:41] AFAIK you can [15:41] I might be wrong though [15:42] Anybody you'd recommend querying that with [15:43] erry looks to be online [15:43] well I'm sure someone will smite me for giving you wrong information if I'm wrong [15:43] Heh [15:44] is it really that urgent? you could just set a +q for that hostmask and see if it takes hold [15:44] Thats true, i'll give that a go [15:44] besides it's a wide ban anyway so I'd recommend a mute in any case [15:44] Thanks for the advice [15:44] or a banforward to this/some other channel [15:45] yeah he wants to poll [15:46] ok, set +q on that address to see if it works [15:51] a webui to use something remotely? thought that meant ssh [17:33] whoa annoying [17:35] he's playing eleventh dimension chess! [17:36] * Pici snerks [17:40] I pretty much lost interest after that wall 'o text [17:49] wubi and mixing in debian repos! what could go wrong [18:23] iirc the idea of creating a more "leet" channel has been discussed and denied, there are -dev channels for those users who wish to dig deeper and get help with doing development. IMO creating such a channel would be splitting the community and helpers. [18:24] Actually, thats a great name, #ubuntu-advanced. [18:24] bwhahahahahaNOWAY [18:24] he insulted every single helper, and now wants his own advanced channel [18:25] Topic for #ubuntu-advanced: All noobs go to #ubuntu. [18:25] [18:25] Anyway, it is a bad idea and will only create a divide in the IRC community which is exactly what we don't want. [18:26] bug: confirmed; released ∞ +1 [18:26] IdleOne: +1 Although I don't think the regular helpers would abandon #u, however I don't think a 'new user' would understand the difference between basic and advanced questions, from their point of view, everything could well be advanced & they'd just ask in the advanced channel [18:27] he was so elite that he was doing the glib versions from memory, and badly misremembering them [18:27] DJones: exactly, ops would waste time explaining, yeah you're problem is a valid one but not important enough for us to bother with. Plz2go to the not-so-leet channel. [18:27] more like needs a #ubuntu-alzheimers [18:28] I guess 'technically' #ubuntu is the advanced channel given that there is #ubuntu-beginners [18:28] yikes [18:28] eliminate the !crosspost factoid forthwith [18:28] Just because we might disagree with it doesn't make it a bad idea that we should strike out immediately. [18:29] -beginners is a team channel and not specifically for support. They do some support but that isn't the purpose. [18:29] it's a bad idea [18:29] Pici: It might be worth revisiting. I suspect it will not pass anymore then it did the last time this was brought up. [18:30] it's been proposed since forever [18:31] Just wanted to make sure I voiced my opinion on it. [18:31] The idea does have merit, for example the question about ZFS that ThePendulum was asking about yesterday - that probably took a couple of hours for somebody to go through, so a less busy channel for a complex issue would probably be more useful [18:31] n0yd had an issue that was not *that* complex, but simply refused to answer any questions of the five or so first helpers [18:32] I'm not a noob. We are not mind readers. [18:33] I got a "seriously dood? I'ma need it, thats all" [18:33] 19:32 < n0yd> ok, I made # for advanced and novice, and am registewring them now [18:33] so he's the Founder [18:33] that isn't an problem [18:33] IRCC can ask staff to take it if/when needed [18:33] in Official Ubuntu namespace [18:35] s/an/a/ [18:37] #ubuntu-advanced already exists with freenode-staff +AFORfiorstv as the only entry on the access list [18:38] it's advanced-users [18:38] Ah, not what I expected [18:39] that should not be # [18:40] #ubuntu-novice-users as well [18:41] #ubuntu-cafeteria-coolkids-table [18:41] Pici will allow them to exist until the next IRCC meeting, I imagine [18:42] I wonder if they will be allowed to advertise in #ubuntu [18:42] the channels being created is not an issue like I said. The issue now is making sure he doesn't advertise those channels. [18:43] perhaps we could have the floodbots redirect them once they answered a question in -unregged [18:43] I would like to know who decides if a questions is advanced enough or not. [18:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5711133/ [18:58] looks real official like [18:58] just needs a neon sign out front. [18:58] heh [18:58] to get Chanserv they have to clear the channel iirc [18:59] /msg chanserb help set guard [18:59] -b+v [19:00] he explained that once the IRCC decides, it will stay or forward to the ## [19:00] "best to be prepared" was the quote [19:00] isn't that the boy scout moto? [19:01] minus the best to, yeah [19:02] Well, I think I've made enough passive agressive comments on this topic. Moving on. [19:02] haha [19:42] Pici, who should they contact about getting ubottu ; n0yd wants to know === jayne| is now known as jayne
