| gav | I'm in need of help with an issue related to -offtopic | 04:05 |
|---|---|---|
| chu | Sure. | 04:26 |
| chu | gav: How can I help? | 04:27 |
| gav | A user was misbehaving yesterday and they should probably have a ban applied | 04:28 |
| chu | Who? | 04:28 |
| gav | Me | 04:29 |
| chu | I'm not sure I really understand. | 04:30 |
| gav | I posted a spoiler for a movie yesterday after being explicitly told not to do so. | 04:31 |
| gav | The reactions of certain people made it very clear that my type of spoiler, though I meant it as an innocuous joke, wasn't welcome. | 04:32 |
| gav | So? | 04:40 |
| * rww looks | 04:41 | |
| tonyyarusso | You are hereby banned from all movie theaters, DVD rental stores, and streaming services until 2020. | 04:42 |
| rww | unless you're talking about Han shooting first in Ep IV, I'm not seeing it | 04:43 |
| gav | Approximately 16:44 EST | 04:43 |
| rww | @time EST | 04:44 |
| ubottu | Current time in EST: December 29 2015, 23:44:34 | 04:44 |
| rww | o.O | 04:45 |
| rww | < gav> Snape kills dumbledore | 04:45 |
| rww | ? | 04:45 |
| gav | Yes | 04:46 |
| rww | assuming so, that movie's old enough that it doesn't really qualify as a spoiler | 04:46 |
| rww | plus I'm fairly sure the topic doesn't say Harry Potter spoilers | 04:46 |
| rww | plus ikonia said the same time you parted (I assume race condition) that you weren't getting banned | 04:46 |
| gav | It doesn't specify a film, and at least two people expressed displeasure with my conduct | 04:47 |
| rww | ah, true, I thought it did. 1 and 3 still apply | 04:47 |
| rww | and displeasure != ban | 04:47 |
| rww | I get displeased about a lot of things that aren't banned, and ops tend to sometimes /express/ displeasure as a "don't do that again" type hint. which again, is not a ban | 04:48 |
| rww | You are of course free to exile yourself, but spoilers for a 10 year old story are not against #ubuntu-offtopic guidelines and you won't be getting banned for it. | 04:49 |
| gav | With all due respect, spoilers for the obvious film implied in the topic aren't explicitly against guidelines (unless there is another copy of the guidelines I haven't seen) and two other users received indefinite bans for that | 04:50 |
| rww | 1) there are less than a handful of "indefinite bans" in the core channels | 04:51 |
| rww | 2) other people's bans are other people's problem | 04:51 |
| rww | 3) the one I banned did so specifically after being told not to do what he did | 04:52 |
| gav | So did I | 04:52 |
| gav | (Wrt to point 3) | 04:52 |
| rww | You are not getting banned for saying "Snape kills Dumbledore", that would be stupid. If you disagree, feel free to not join #ubuntu-offtopic for a length of time you consider appropriate. | 04:53 |
| rww | Is there anything else we can help you with today? | 04:53 |
| gav | Sure, I'd like to appeal that to another op? | 04:53 |
| rww | Well, I mean, don't all rush in at once. | 04:56 |
| tonyyarusso | We could op you and let you ban yourself if you want. | 04:56 |
| gav | I'm not in the channel, so that's not likely to work | 04:56 |
| rww | there we go. tonyyarusso, have fun, log timestamp is 2015-12-28 21:39 UTC | 04:57 |
| tonyyarusso | Does it qualify as a spoiler if it's so well-known it's become more of a spoiler meme than a real spoiler? | 05:00 |
| gav | I think what matters more is how it was received | 05:00 |
| gav | In this case, the answer is clearly badly | 05:06 |
| gav | Just bumping this to prevent it being lost. | 05:12 |
| chu | gav: No one is going to take action. This issue has been dealt with. Stop please. | 05:13 |
| gav | I don't understand why I'm being given some kind of preferential treatment here | 05:14 |
| rww | You're not, and there's your second op opinion. Anything else we can help you with tonight? | 05:14 |
| chu | You're not. The fact of the matter is you spoilt a movie released X years ago, not Y weeks ago. There is a massive different. | 05:15 |
| gav | One person spoils a movie, they get banned. Another does too, and is also banned. I do it, and there's no action | 05:15 |
| rww | You spoiled a book from 10 years ago. They spoiled a movie from a couple of weeks ago. | 05:15 |
| gav | I'm sure there are plenty of people in there who haven't seen it | 05:16 |
| gav | Or read it | 05:16 |
| rww | I don't care, it's 10 years ago. You've gotten two op opinions now, they're not going to change by us going in circles. | 05:16 |
| chu | Statistically, you could say it is likely those who cared about Harry Potter would have seen it already. You can't make the same claim about Star Wars. | 05:16 |
| chu | There is no argument here, please stop trying to beat the dead horse. | 05:17 |
| valorie | poor horsie | 05:17 |
| valorie | so dead | 05:17 |
| bazhang | dont spoil it!!! | 07:49 |
| bazhang | trollng is the new roadmap | 08:39 |
| ikonia | hello azizLIGHT | 13:40 |
| azizLIGHT | Hello, last night at 23:59 EST a user from #ubuntu named rw2014 spam pm'd me and possibly other users | 13:40 |
