| tomreyn | greetings. so i noticed and apreciate that dax sets -r on #ubuntu while around (and restores it when leaving). is this something more of us could do, and could freely choose to do? | 10:24 |
|---|---|---|
| tomreyn | i'm still an #ubuntu ops youngster, so just wondering | 10:25 |
| Pricey | tomreyn: Check out https://freenode.net/kb/answer/channelmodes - it blocks unregistered users and will forward them to wherever the +f is set to. If you're going to do that, I'd keep an eye on the forward channel incase anyone gets lost. | 13:51 |
| Pricey | If you're asking yourself "Should I do this in the first place?" I'd suggest that if you don't have a problem, don't seek an answer. | 13:51 |
| tomreyn | Pricey: may point is that +r is regularly set on #ubuntu, which - based on stats I've seen - seems to keep a lot of (potential) support seekers out of the channel. and i don't think we are doing a great job treating those who reach #ubuntu-unregged | 18:05 |
| tomreyn | My suggestion / idea is to do what dax does, and to remove the -r on #ubuntu while I am (or we are, those who are willing to do this as well) active, so that users won't get deferred to -unregged during this time, but abuse can still be handled. | 18:06 |
| tomreyn | (i'm aware of the general meaning of +r and +f, thanks.) | 18:07 |
| tomreyn | maybe this should go to #ubuntu-ops instead | 18:08 |
| Pricey | ++ | 18:11 |
