=== Guest85432 is now known as IdleOne === sekrit is now known as CIA [03:13] I just tried to connect to Ubuntu chatroom and a pop up message says i have been banned. Does anyone know why? [03:13] I am using Adium for Mac [03:13] And I had to recently reinstall my OS, which meant setting up IRC again [03:13] LibertyWeNeed: you made it ok ;) [03:14] zykotick9, thanks [08:44] LibertyWeNeed: hi [08:45] hello [08:47] the hoster you use is banned from the ubuntu channels due to offering free vpns and proxies that were used by malicious people to disturb the channels [08:48] ? [08:49] I think this a false positive [08:49] I haven't had any troubles before [08:50] what channel are we talking about? [08:50] #ubuntu [08:51] do you use a vpn? [08:52] I don't have one on this computer, but my router has one [08:53] yeah, looking at your ips you joined with, you are using vpns. this one you use was abused by trolls. so that ip range got banned. [08:54] What am I suppose to do? [08:54] use another vpn which doesnt get abused and doesnt get banned then. or use your real ip to connect. [08:58] I can't use my real IP otherwise I can't access the internet properly, doesn't function properly with blocked sites, bandwidth throttling, DPI (assuming) and alot of other stuff. Also I can't change my VPN provider because it has been paid for and I have no other issues other than when trying to connect to Ubuntu. I don't understand why I must be punished for what others have done. [08:58] other options include bouncers and similar services [08:59] I don't know what that means [09:02] bouncer is a software running on a remote server (so not reliant on your ip) that you connect your client to just like you would to a server. It handles the connection to the IRC networks, and thus, displays the remote servers ip, not yours. [09:03] So what do I have to do? [09:17] or make an accound on kiwiirc.com [09:17] maybe, but I think it's more trouble than its worth since I did nothing wrong [09:18] LibertyWeNeed: the problem is you are using a vpn service that got abused by trolls very often and is now banned. while you did nothing wrong you cant use that vpn service anymore to use the ubuntu channel. [09:19] What do I tell my VPN provider then? or ask them [09:19] ? [09:21] there are other options, such as irccloud or requesting a ban exemption. [09:21] ban excemption doesnt make sense, since he uses a vpnwith changing ips. [09:22] I don't have control over what IP's i get other than the country [09:23] k1l: not even on an account name ;-? [09:29] I think this is an example of discrimination by association. I would appreciate if you can un ban me. But if not I may have to reconsider using the Ubuntu chatroom which is sad. [09:30] LibertyWeNeed: we are not discriminating you. you could easily connect with your real ip [09:30] or with other options we named you already [09:31] That is dangerous for me to do. Besides why go to this extra effort. I have a registered IRC account, so you can look up to see if it was me or not. [09:31] I can't reveal my IP because the internet is useless without it [09:31] without the vpn [09:33] I think I will just stick with trisquel and other more accepting IRC channels [09:34] I am sorry you don't understand. [09:35] LibertyWeNeed: to be fair the only conversations you've started in #ubuntu recently have been offtopic [09:35] so other channels might be better for your discussion topics anyway. [09:37] If I really was a troll do you think I would be complaining about it and using the same username? I am leaving right now because I feel that the Ubuntu community has forgotten why it started. Good bye folks [09:38] Ok then. [09:38] for the record, most extbans work in all the banlike modes, so b,q,e,I can work with $a:accountname [09:39] someone was just reminded to add that to the new kb. === Guest73238 is now known as downtime [10:00] lotuspsychje called the ops in #ubuntu (yaaic1 disturbing support) [10:28] In #ubuntu, Guest87880 said: ubottu: samba is running and windows can access the folders on linux [12:30] In #ubuntu, rud0lf said: ubottu's !bot reply link is broken [16:12] tomorrow... [16:17] just a reminder to not switch factoids, at release, poke me about changing the config variables and most things should apply automagically. [17:03] please guys [17:03] remove me that list of banned users in #ubuntu [17:04] I cannot join in the channel [17:05] PsychoBoB: one moment [17:06] hi PsychoBoB [17:06] so you know why you were banned back then? [17:10] no... =( [17:11] well, trolled #ubuntu with playing a dumb user that could not properly speak english.

They have rules too though: http://wiki.ubuntu-br.org/IRC/Regras [17:14] But i want use two chanells [17:14] PsychoBoB: if you dont understand english that doesnt make sense. [17:14] why not? [17:14] last times you only made nonsense and trollt in #ubuntu. that is the reason you got banned. [17:14] it's obligatory speak english? [17:15] In #ubuntu, yes. [17:15] this ban is equal to life imprisonment? [17:15] and since you dont want to read the channel rules that only tells us you want to troll again. [17:15] I never will can go to ubuntu? [17:16] you say you dont understand english and dont want to read the channel rules. so that doesnt make sense you go to #ubuntu anyway.
