[04:05] <gav> I'm in need of help with an issue related to -offtopic
[04:26] <chu> Sure.
[04:27] <chu> gav: How can I help?
[04:28] <gav> A user was misbehaving yesterday and they should probably have a ban applied
[04:28] <chu> Who?
[04:29] <gav> Me
[04:30] <chu> I'm not sure I really understand.
[04:31] <gav> I posted a spoiler for a movie yesterday after being explicitly told not to do so.
[04:32] <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.
[04:40] <gav> So?
[04:41]  * rww looks
[04:42] <tonyyarusso> You are hereby banned from all movie theaters, DVD rental stores, and streaming services until 2020.
[04:43] <rww> unless you're talking about Han shooting first in Ep IV, I'm not seeing it
[04:43] <gav> Approximately 16:44 EST
[04:44] <rww> @time EST
[04:45] <rww> o.O
[04:45] <rww> < gav>  Snape kills dumbledore
[04:45] <rww> ?
[04:46] <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
[04:47] <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
[04:48] <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
[04:49] <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.
[04:50] <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
[04:51] <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
[04:52] <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)
[04:53] <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?
[04:56] <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
[04:57] <rww> there we go. tonyyarusso, have fun, log timestamp is 2015-12-28 21:39 UTC
[05:00] <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
[05:06] <gav> In this case, the answer is clearly badly
[05:12] <gav> Just bumping this to prevent it being lost.
[05:13] <chu> gav: No one is going to take action. This issue has been dealt with. Stop please.
[05:14] <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?
[05:15] <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.
[05:16] <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.
[05:17] <chu> There is no argument here, please stop trying to beat the dead horse.
[05:17] <valorie> poor horsie
[05:17] <valorie> so dead
[07:49] <bazhang> dont spoil it!!!
[08:39] <bazhang> trollng is the new roadmap
[13:40] <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] <azizLIGHT> Spam pm was about proselytizing Islam
[13:41] <azizLIGHT> Hello ikonia
[13:41] <azizLIGHT> Did anyone else receive this spam?
[13:42] <ikonia> nope,
[13:42] <ikonia> but the user has gone
[13:42] <k1l_> there were some spam bots removed last night
[13:42] <ikonia> so I wouldn't worry about it
[13:42] <azizLIGHT> Hm OK
[13:42] <k1l_> but thanks for the report
[13:42] <azizLIGHT> Yeah :)
[13:43] <azizLIGHT> See you in #ubuntu
