Myrttik1l: "we won't help you, and the channel owners and ops are free to run their channels as they please"17:19
Picihm?17:21
bazhangbanned for no reason asking in #ubuntu17:21
bazhangcorrect answer imo would be: /msg the ops ; /msg cs access #channel list , look for +o17:22
bazhangsending to #freenode just creates more nonsense17:22
bazhangHappy Year of the Horse, btw17:23
k1lwell, imho its kind of the service from freenode to manage those issues in #freenode17:23
LjL-Touch^17:23
k1lor more: it should be17:23
bazhangbut they would not actually interfere17:23
PiciIMO, it depends how much noise it is causing in the channel.17:23
LjL-Touchit's not my business whether or not staff actully decide to deal with / have a look at the issue17:23
bazhangso to get out of #ubuntu and elsewhere, possibly17:23
bazhangto solve it, what I said17:23
LjL-Touchwell, to solve it, #freenode is the place where someone should be guided through the whole /msg cs access thing etc17:24
bazhangNEIGH!!11117:24
LjL-Touchnot Ubuntu. that's about as offtopic as installing Windows17:24
bazhang</frau bluchner>17:24
bazhangor just PM them and tell them17:25
ikoniais this the guy asking for help with ubuntu but he says he's banned ?17:25
ikoniahe said he's using ubuntu, so surly we can help him ?17:25
bazhangikonia, banned somewehre else17:25
LjL-Touchwhat17:25
Piciikonia: they were just pestering us in #freenode about being banned from ##physics.17:25
ikoniabut he's using ubuntu and wants help with ubuntu ? or something else ?17:25
bazhangnot to do with ubuntu that I can see17:25
ikoniaahhh so he doesn't want help with ubuntu17:25
ikoniaok17:25
Picik1l: that won't work17:26
k1lyes, didnt whois first if that is a webchat17:26
Piciokay ;)17:26
LjL-TouchPici: why won't it? i thought the ident encoded the IP17:27
* Pici pokes LjL-Touch's brain17:27
LjL-Touchno, really17:27
LjL-Touchit's the IP in hex ;(17:27
k1lbut again: i dont know of any "i am banned in #other-channel, help me" issue that was resolved with one line so far. so stopng the offtopic and sending them to #freenode is the right way, imho17:27
k1lLjL-Touch: there are excepts for webchats17:28
PiciLjL-Touch: Do your bots remove the +e when something matching that user is quieted? it hasn't in the past.17:28
LjL-TouchOH RIGHT17:28
k1land if you kick a webchat the floodbots remove that except for that ip17:28
LjL-Touchwell i can't be expected to know the subtleties related to how some bots that i wrote operate17:28
Pici;)17:28
k1lbut i would like the bots to remove the except when someone is muted. yes17:28
LjL-Touchexempt*17:29
LjL-Touchk1l, they do, but the mute needs to be by nickname17:29
LjL-Touchbecause most of our mutes used to be like that, so that's what thye look for17:29
PiciInstead of making chanegs to the bots, we probably should update the procedure now that IP bans sort of work on gateway users now17:29
k1lhmm, i use chanserv.py which automatically mutes the ident17:30
IdleOne/cs mute -n $user17:32
ChallengerSShey17:33
ChallengerSSI think a terrible mistake happened17:33
PiciHow can we help you?17:33
ChallengerSSit seems the op ikonia may have overstepped its boundaries before17:34
ChallengerSSI was asking a proper question about Ubuntu before17:34
MyrttiI didn't see anything like that happening17:34
PiciIt looked like you were trying to get unbanned in a channel that has nothing to do with #ubuntu17:34
ChallengerSSWhy do all these channels have the exact same people17:35
IdleOnebecause we all maintain the same channels17:35
IdleOneor did you think #ubuntu had one op?17:36
MyrttiI was going to give a witty answer but the joke would have been lost17:36
LjL-TouchPici: i do suspect at this point, that whole part of the floodbots could be done away with17:36
ChallengerSSI mean I go to #freenode and Pici and Myrtti are there17:36
phunyguyas am I17:37
ChallengerSSI go to #ubuntu and ... Pici  and Myrtti are there17:37
phunyguy:)17:37
LjL-TouchChallengerSS: #freenode is free for people to join17:37
PiciChallengerSS: I like to help people in #freenode.17:37
ChallengerSSNow I go to #ubuntu-ops and... guess who is here17:37
hggdhand so am I17:37
MyrttiChallengerSS: it's not surprising that #ubuntu ops are in  ... #ubuntu-ops17:37
LjL-Touchgiven they are #ubuntu ops, i don't find it very surprising they are in #ubuntu-ops17:37
MyrttiChallengerSS: neither is it surprising that #ubuntu ops are in #freenode17:37
phunyguyEspecially Myrtti, who is Freenode staff17:38
Myrttiit's not really too illogical17:38
LjL-Touchmaybe that's the problem17:38
LjL-Touchfreenode is generally assumed to BE illogical ;(17:38
MyrttiLjL-Touch: but I'm a Finn. I excel at logic and pragmatism.17:38
ChallengerSSCan I be honest17:38
Myrttimost of the time anyway17:38
* LjL-Touch refrains from commenting17:38
IdleOneWould be nice17:38
MyrttiI love you too, LjL-Touch17:38
LjL-TouchChallengerSS: i'm pretty sure you can17:38
IdleOneCan we stay on topic here and help ChallengerSS17:39
LjL-TouchIdleOne: i'm pretty sure we can17:39
ChallengerSSI didn't like it when in #freenode someone mentioned the ##Physics op17:39
ChallengerSSIt alerted Metaleer17:39
ChallengerSS:(17:39
LjL-Touchokay...?17:39
k1lChallengerSS: can you sum up what the actually issue is with you and the #ubuntu channels?17:40
k1l#freenode is not run by the #ubuntu ops. so if there is a problem please talk to the freenode staff17:41
Piciand ##physics is not run by Ubuntu ops either.17:41
LjL-Touchand neither is #ubuntu17:41
LjL-Touchwait17:41
LjL-Touchsorry i am confused, im trying to get used to cars driving on the right again17:42
ChallengerSSAre any of you friendly with the ##physics operators?17:43
ChallengerSS: - )17:43
LjL-Touchnot me17:44
IdleOneWe can't help you get unbanned there, speak to the ops of that channel17:44
hggdhChallengerSS: I am sorry, but I do not understand what being friends with ops in other namespaces have to do with us17:44
ChallengerSS`_`17:44
Myrttifrom experience as a Ubuntu op I can tell you one thing - that you need to personally talk to an op instead of asking someone else to be your attorney17:44
ChallengerSSI already have17:44
ChallengerSSAnd none of them listen to me17:44
ChallengerSS:(17:44
Myrttithere you go then.17:44
Myrttiwait and sit it out17:44
phunyguyThey are allowed to not listen.17:44
ChallengerSSI also have a right to be in their channel17:45
Myrttiwhatever gave you that idea?17:45
k1lChallengerSS: no. you have no right17:45
phunyguyyeah that's not true at all.17:45
LjL-TouchFREE SPINACH17:46
phunyguyThere is a reason channels have operators.  The operators get to dictate who is allowed in the channel.  Not the end user.17:46
phunyguyagain, it is beyond the scope of this channel.17:46
hggdhmore, it is beyond the scope of *any* #ubuntu-* channel17:47
phunyguy^17:47
ChallengerSSWhy does everyone say the same17:47
LjL-Touchit is even beyond the microscope and the telescope17:47
ChallengerSSIt's like all you people cover the asses of the physics operator17:47
phunyguyChallengerSS: because they are speaking the truth.17:47
LjL-Touchmake your own channel about conspiracy theories perhaps17:48
hggdhChallengerSS: anyway, there is nothing for you here. Your problem is elsewhere, so I suggest you go elsewhere and solve it.17:49
LjL-Touchthat worked!17:49
k1lChallengerSS: that is common sense, that not ops from other channels will reveal a ban for you. talk to the operators. if they dont think you should get back in its your problem. think about your actions before you are banned17:49
Myrttianother satisfied customer17:49
phunyguy<317:50
LjL-Touchdid you know that the word "satisfy" comes from a compound latin verb basically meaning "having had enough"17:51
phunyguyI did not.17:51
LjL-Touchsatis+fio17:52
LjL-Touchlike in satiate17:52
IdleOneI can tell you that I was satisfied with how the situation was handled by some of the ops17:53
IdleOneI would appreciate less satisfaction next time17:53
LjL-Touchthat's satisfying17:53
phunyguy"some"?17:55
IdleOneI said what I meant17:55
phunyguyand you meant what you said.17:55
LjL-Touchphunyguy he's being annoyed at my jocularity about the event17:55
phunyguyI know. :)17:55
LjL-Touchbut that's fair since i'm being jocular about his annoyance17:56
IdleOnenot about it17:56
IdleOneduring17:56
LjL-Touchoh wait so you mean i should only poke fun at and mock the person while they aren't listening17:56
LjL-Touchyeah i'm sorry, for a moment i forgot that's the ubuntu policy17:57
IdleOneno, we shouldn't mock anyone17:57
IdleOneexcept the voiced in -offtopic of course17:58
LjL-Touchwow that train is like... on Mars, by now?17:58
LjL-TouchSaturn maybe17:58
phunyguyThat's because people enjoy it.17:58
LjL-Touchoh god that red thing means frenocha is highlighting me17:59
LjL-Touchwish me luck17:59
* phunyguy giggles17:59
LjL-Touchoh17:59
LjL-Touchno it's just this idiotic window client putting highlights in the wrong places ;(17:59
rww17:36:27 < LjL-Touch> Pici: i do suspect at this point, that whole part of the floodbots could be done away with20:09
LjL-Touchdon't say it20:09
rwwLjL-Touch: the IP-ban-working-properly thing would only work if we switched to IP bans and stopped using hostname bans20:09
LjL-Touchi guess20:10
rwwso there's still some use for them, assuming we take as true that they're useful in the first place20:10
rww(that was the snark you expect, I assume)20:10
LjL-Touchmhm20:10

LjL-Touchhey if i pay someone a tribute but i don't really mean it, do i contribute21:01
rwwdepends, do you have a convergent UI for your tribute21:02
Piciis the tribute in a cryptocurrency?21:02
LjL-Touchif i look at it with my eye crossed21:02
LjL-TouchPici: lolcoin21:02
LjL-Touchwait no21:02
LjL-Touchwe are aiming for a currency not worth anything, right?21:03
