 #ubuntu-offtopic :Cannot send to channel wtf is that     << is he already muted/banned there?
[09:21] <k1l_> ah i see in bantracker: 63194
[09:22] <coolmsn> all are crap
[09:22] <ldunn> oh yes, that was me
[09:22] <k1l_> coolmsn: are you even interessted in taking part in the ubuntu channels along the guidelines? or do you just want to make trouble?
[09:23] <DJones> Given that they didn't even stay around, I'd suspect the latter
[09:23] <ldunn> The PM discussion I had with them effectively resulted in "People aren't talking to me, so I am going to spam crap", and then they spammed crap at me ;(
[09:23] <k1l_> well, i think he has proven his point....
[12:43] <Pici> !12.10
[12:43] <Pici> fixed
[12:54] <Pici> added for 13.10 too
[12:58] <DJones> I'm glad I thought to upgrade on of my machines yesterday, I'd forgotten about 13.10 coming to EOL
[13:45] <phunyguy> @mark #ubuntu-offtopic drago stating he is a spammer and "kill all kill all kill all kill all".....
[17:28] <Pici> HelloWorld123: lets talk here, not in PM.
[17:29] <Pici> HelloWorld123: What message are you getting when you try to join #ubuntu?
[17:31] <HelloWorld123> Depends on my client.  I usually use "Empathy", in which I get no message at all.  On Pidgin, I just beg "banned #ubuntu".
[17:33] <Pici> Are you using that client right now?
[17:34] <HelloWorld123> I'm using pidgin right now
[17:37] <Pici> HelloWorld123: It looks like we had a ban set for your connection earlier last week, because your connection kept going up and down.
[17:37] <Pici> It was removed though.
[17:37] <HelloWorld123>  "/mode #channel +b" doesn't seem to show anything that would apply (eyeballing it).  I'm in under this nick "HelloWorld123" just fine, but earlier I was banned under my usual nick "HelloWorld321".
[17:38] <Pici> If you part #ubuntu and nick to that, can you rejoin?
[17:38] <HelloWorld123> oic.
[17:38] <HelloWorld123> I'll try now ...
[17:39] <Pici> I'm not seeing anything that could have applied to you either... the other ban I was talking about doesn't look like it was actually you.. just someone with a similar IP
[17:39] <HelloWorld321> No: "You are banned from #ubuntu"
[17:40] <Pici> hm
[17:40] <HelloWorld321> And that message is from a pidgin client dialog box; not directly from a system text.
[17:41] <Pici> You should be able to join now.
[17:41] <Pici> Someone set a very wide ban.
[17:41] <HelloWorld321> There you are.
[17:41] <HelloWorld321> I'm in.  I asked my question.
[17:41] <HelloWorld321> Thanks.
[17:41] <Pici> np, sorry for the inconvenience
[17:42] <HelloWorld321> So um, that wide ban was in error?
[17:42] <HelloWorld321> What about my up/down ban?  That was supposed to be there, right?
[17:42] <Pici> That wasn't you, I just misread the thing.
[17:42] <HelloWorld321> I can see as how that would be annoying.  What should I do to prevent frequent up/down  messaging.
[17:43] <HelloWorld321> Okay.  Thanks.  So I'm clean then?
[17:43] <Pici> yep :)
[17:43] <HelloWorld321> Very good.  Thanks for your assistance.  I've asked my question in #ubuntu channel.'
[17:44] <Pici> HelloWorld321: If thats all, do you mind parting this channel?
[17:47] <HelloWorld321> Sure.  I'll do that.
[17:48] <Pici> So... that was from the *21!*@* ban.
[17:48] <Pici> which is ridiculously wide.
[17:56] <DJones> Its about all that was stopping the nickname21@anthing from spamming porn links in #u
[17:56] <DJones> Possibly could have been *21!*21@* to make it a bit tighter
[18:16] <tsimpson> or it could have been auto removed after a couple of hours
[18:21] <DJones> The ban would still have been catching the spammer up until 2 days, thats when I last see them  active
[18:42] <phunyguy> could've given him a ban exemption, although that ban does seem very wide.
[18:50] <phunyguy> and there already was a *21!*21@* ban set until yesterday morning.
[19:07] <rww> I note this is the second false-positive from wide number-based bans against those spammers.
[20:59] <IdleOne> the *21!*21@* ban was evaded by the porn bot using a *!2@* ident. Which is why I changed it to the wider *21!*@*
[20:59] <IdleOne> and I honestly don't care that we got 1-2 false positives out of how many. They can change their nicks.
[21:07] <phunyguy> or a ban exemption can be mad
[21:07] <phunyguy> e
[21:07] <IdleOne> yeah that ban is useless
[21:13] <ikonia> @mark #ubuntu+1 phillw making stuff up to be dramatic
[21:20] <IdleOne> ikonia: so he really believe that his ranting is what fixed the problem
[21:20] <ikonia> no
[21:20] <ikonia> I fixed it
[21:20] <ikonia> I spoke to the mirror people
[21:20] <ikonia> but I'm annoyed as I shouldn't have had to
[21:21] <ikonia> and now he's telling me in a pm that he's going to write a report because I wouldn't help him
[21:21] <IdleOne> lol
[21:21] <ikonia> so he was unable to answer a question
[21:21] <ikonia> and yet this is my fault
[21:21] <IdleOne> how could you help him if the mirror was out of sync.
[21:22] <ikonia> because I spoke to the mirror team to get it dropped out of the dns
[21:22] <ikonia> however I shouldn't have had to do all the leg work
[21:22] <ikonia> but it's ok as he's writing a report to the CC
[21:22] <ikonia> to show how I refused to help him
[21:22] <IdleOne> well that is good. They can always use good reports

[21:23] <ikonia> getting fed up with crap
[21:23] <ikonia> I'll report you to the CC
[21:23] <ikonia> it's not worth actually doing anything any more
[21:23] <ikonia> !logs
[21:24] <ikonia> he wants the logs now
[21:24] <IdleOne> lol
[21:24] <IdleOne> so are you going to write the report for him also?
[21:24] <ikonia> like I care
[21:24] <ikonia> I'm just going to stop helping soon
[21:24] <IdleOne> he's been around long enough to know where to find logs
[21:24] <ikonia> same way he knows how to open a browser
[21:25] <ikonia> but claims it's my fault as I didn't give him instructions
[21:25] <IdleOne> meh, don't even think about it anymore. He isn't worth the effort
[21:25] <ikonia> just worthless users making worthless contributions
[21:26] <IdleOne> he's probably still upset that they took away his membership
[21:27] <ikonia> oh did they ?
[21:27] <IdleOne> afaik yup
[21:27] <ikonia> now he's threatening legal action ???
[21:28] <IdleOne> that is his thing
[21:28] <ikonia> is this the lubuntu guy ?
[21:28] <IdleOne> yeah I think so
[21:28] <ikonia> oh
[21:33] <ikonia> he's taking legal action so I don't sue him ?
[21:33] <ikonia> the guy clearly has some sort of mental health problem
[21:33] <ikonia> just had to put him on ignore, don't want to cause someone with mental health issue distress
[21:42] <Pici> :/
[22:45] <Unit193> ikonia: You're going to go in circles all night.
[22:46] <ikonia> is he always like this ?
[22:47] <IdleOne> yes
