[15:46] <Eickmeyer> Hi all. The other day I banned/kicked Nokaji from #ubuntu-discuss and #ubuntu-flavors for their quit message being rather spammy, in this paste. Also included in the paste is their response: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/gGChRdDMnN/
[15:47] <Eickmeyer> I think this attitude warrants a network-wide ban since it affects all channels this user is attached to and happens to quit from.
[15:49] <Eickmeyer> That said, I wanted to run it through you all first before talking to #freenode.
[15:56] <Eickmeyer> *taking
[16:40] <raver> Hey I think I got banned from #ubuntu. All other channels work on irc.freenode.net.
[16:40] <raver> Had a server fault in the last days..
[16:46] <ikonia> hey raver
[16:46] <raver> Hey 🙂
[16:46] <ikonia> raver: everything ok ? how can the ops team help, I see you think you're banned from the #ubuntu channel ?
[16:47] <raver> Right because all other channels work on irc.freenode.net
[16:47] <ikonia> I'll see if there is a ban in place, is there any reason you may have been banned /
[16:47] <ikonia> ?
[16:47] <raver> And i had a server fault the last days
[16:48] <ikonia> I can see you're in #ubuntu-ungregged
[16:48] <raver> Maybe because my irc server was not available
[16:48] <raver> It's a bridge to xmpp ejabberd
[16:48] <ikonia> you need to register at the moment to use #ubuntu
[16:48] <raver> How can I do that?
[16:48] <ikonia> identify with nickserv and I suspect you'll be fine
[16:48] <ikonia> !register | raver
[16:48] <raver> Thx
[16:49] <ikonia> no sweat
[22:57] <Unit193> Eickmeyer: It's got a couple links in it, sure, but it's not exactly "spammy".  I've seen others (Ubuntu devs even) link to their twitter accounts too, nothing I'd ban someone for.
[23:28] <Eickmeyer> Unit193: I understand. I guess I'll remove the ban.
[23:32] <Eickmeyer> Unit193: I guess I found the politically-charged propaganda a bit over-the-top.
[23:33] <Eickmeyer> Unit193: But their response to me was rather rude.
