[04:54] <Cheri703> anyone with ops in #ubuntu-women available to ban someone?
[04:55] <Cheri703> I attempted a ! ops with no response
[04:55] <genii> Cheri703: We saw the call in #ubuntu-ops but no one in there currently with ops in that channel :(
[04:56] <Cheri703> :/
[04:56] <Cheri703> no one with universal anything?
[04:56] <Cheri703> any freenode staff?
[04:56] <Cheri703> or something?
[04:56] <Cheri703> because...yeah
[04:57] <genii> !staff
[04:57] <genii> ^
[04:58] <Cheri703> thanks
[04:58] <Cheri703> >_<
[04:58] <genii> Cheri703: Hopefully someone responds soon.
[05:19] <JoseeAntonioR> Cheri703: is the problem already solved?
[05:19] <Cheri703> the person got kicked by the spambot
[05:19] <Cheri703> but it'd be nice to set a ban
[05:19] <Cheri703> nice/MUCH PREFERRED
[05:19] <Cheri703> Byllida (cc5d3c28@gateway/web/freenode/ip.204.93.60.40) has quit
[05:19] <Cheri703> that is the person
[05:19] <fego> nice much /6
[05:21] <Cheri703> I was just about to head to bed, anything else you need from me JoseeAntonioR?
[05:21] <JoseeAntonioR> Cheri703: try joining #freenode and asking gry if possible, she's online right now
[05:21] <Cheri703> ah, ok thanks
[05:21]  * JoseeAntonioR is not an staffer... yet
[05:22] <Cheri703> :)
[05:24] <Cheri703> I don't want to broadcast the channel name because it seems like every time it is mentioned ANYWHERE we get an influx of trolls
[05:25] <Cheri703> thanks for your help JoseeAntonioR, IdleOne came back :)
[05:25] <JoseeAntonioR> great :)
[05:41] <JoseeAntonioR> IRCC: hey guys, I'd like to ask for a cloak update with an exception, my current accountname is JoseeAntonioR but I'd like to get ubuntu/member/jose as a cloak, you think that may be possible?
[15:06] <JoseeAntonioR> just in case you didn't get it, IRCC: hey guys, I'd like to ask for a cloak update with an exception, my current accountname is JoseeAntonioR but I'd like to get ubuntu/member/jose as a cloak, you think that may be possible?
[15:07] <AlanBell> hi JoseeAntonioR, good question, we normally do account name, not sure if there is any particularly good reason though
[15:08] <JoseeAntonioR> AlanBell: I'll be using the nick jose from now on, it's just staff can't drop it as it's an accountname, but the nick is unused for 138+ weeks
[15:08] <JoseeAntonioR> that means nick is expired, but the account isn't yet
[15:08] <LjL> AlanBell: probably because that's what freenode does for unaffiliated cloak, but i believe you can override that "default"
[15:08] <LjL> (as far as freenode is concerned, that is)
[15:09] <JoseeAntonioR> LjL is right, actually what goes at the end of the cloak is a unique identifier :)
[15:09] <LjL> JoseeAntonioR: wait, now staff won't drop unused nicknames that are the main nick for an account?
[15:10] <JoseeAntonioR> LjL: yeah, if the account is still in use yes, as that would mean dropping the whole account :(
[15:10] <LjL> ah makes sense if the account itself is in use i guess
[15:10] <JoseeAntonioR> yep
[15:11] <LjL> have you asked the fellow if he can just drop it since he ain't using it?
[15:11] <JoseeAntonioR> I tried several times with memoserv, but that isn't giving any results
[15:11] <JoseeAntonioR> I only got to /nick to jose
[15:12] <LjL> oh right, i guess freenode staff won't be telling you which nick he goes by nowadays :P
[15:12] <JoseeAntonioR> exactly
[15:35] <JoseeAntonioR> AlanBell: so, is the change likely to be approved?
[15:43] <AlanBell> I have no objection in principal, but I would like to know what Pici and Tm_T and funkyHat_ and topyli think
[15:45] <JoseeAntonioR> sure :)
[16:23] <Tm_T> AlanBell: I'm ok
[17:55] <Pici> AlanBell: no issues here
[19:09] <funkyHat> AlanBell: sounds fine to me too
[20:53] <Pricey> LjL: AlanBell: Yeah, everything after 'ubuntu/' is up to you. I always wondered why we didn't do launchpad account name.
[20:53] <Fuchs> it was debated a few times in the past
[20:54] <Fuchs> also it won't work all the time, as accountnames do allow characters which are not allowed in cloaks
[20:54] <Fuchs> (lolpad accountnames, that is)
[21:03] <JoseeAntonioR> in that case, a randomly-generated code would have to be put in as the unique identifier
[21:03] <JoseeAntonioR> as with unaffiliated
[21:04] <Fuchs> no
[21:04] <Fuchs> staff just has to replace them
[21:05] <JoseeAntonioR> hmm, well
[21:05] <Fuchs> there is no need to add any random code. Cloaks are  1) not _actually_ forced to be unique, they just _should_ be unique 2) chances that two people with the same  (stripped off) name get both a cloak of the same project are very low  3) if it happens, it is the GCs fault anyway
[21:05] <JoseeAntonioR> :P
[21:07] <JoseeAntonioR> so, just waiting on topyli's word
[21:07] <AlanBell> its fine, I think we have covered the due diligence now :)
[21:08] <AlanBell> staff can we have an ubuntu/member/jose cloak please
[21:11]  * Fuchs pokes Pricey with a piece of chocolate
[21:11] <Pricey> AlanBell: Who for?
[21:11]  * JoseeAntonioR :)
[21:12] <Unit193> JoseeAntonioR: So you'll be using a nick that isn't registered to you and could technically be ghosted at any time?
[21:12] <JoseeAntonioR> Unit193: not a problem for me
[21:13] <JoseeAntonioR> I *may* be able to get it at some point
[21:29] <JoseeAntonioR> Pricey: got to handle it?
[21:56] <AlanBell> Pricey: for JoseeAntonioR
[21:58] <Pricey> AlanBell: All done.
[21:58] <AlanBell> yay, thanks Pricey
[22:01] <JoseeAntonioR> thanks, Pricey! :)
[22:01] <Pricey> JoseeAntonioR: No problem.
