[18:38] <tomreyn> there's a "ActivateYourLinu" user in #ubuntu who would like to be banned
[18:41] <tomreyn> thanks for taking care of the house, housecat
[18:42] <housecat> fwiw, issues in core channels (like #ubuntu) should go to -ops
[18:42] <housecat> doesn't make much difference in this case 'cause i saw it from the K-line alerts, but yeah
[18:43] <tomreyn> ok
[18:43] <tomreyn> i didn't ever really get the distinction between the two channels.
[18:43] <tomreyn> and here i can idle whereas i can't in -ops, so here's always more convenient
[18:44] <tomreyn> but i understand the other channel is better.
[18:45] <housecat> basically, -ops is for channel management issues in channels listed on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcTeam/Scope (i.e. channels managed by the IRC team). this channel is for other IRC stuff, including issues in other channels that we might be able to help with, group contact requests, etc.
[18:45] <housecat> s/other channels/other ubuntu channels/
[18:45] <housecat> -irc got more use back when LoCos etc. were more of a thing
[18:47] <tomreyn> i see. certainly a couple things could use restructuring / adjusting to the actual situation. but i can see how that's not something paid time will be spent on, and it's most likely not fun.
[18:48] <housecat> yeah, i'm generally a fan of not having more channels than we need
[18:50] <housecat> my available time for ubuntu irc stuff isn't that big right now, though. i actually have all the #ubuntu-* channels hidden in my client, but stuff pops back up when alarms start going off so i saw today's issue
