[00:05] i promise, i didn't drink and ops [00:05] it's just late ;-) [00:05] Haha.. XD [00:05] What client you using again? [00:06] hexchat [00:06] i know there are scripts but i'm not a real fan of those [00:06] Ah ok, then not. >_< [00:06] thanks, though [00:07] heh I've been meaning to read through unit193's script for ages to figure out how it works, but whenever a miscreant shows up doesn't feel like the time to do it, and when there's no one around to make trouble, there's no need :) [00:07] They do make things like account and IP bans easier though.. [00:24] tomreyn: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/NTsw7TvHBk/ there ya go [00:25] tomreyn: I'm just giving you a heads. They haven't done anything to warrant a boot yet, but that's their game. They teeter on the edge [00:26] thanks leftyfb, can i quote what you wrote in -discuss here? [00:26] sure [00:27] tomreyn: ptah is a troll ... that was probably their alt that you banned [00:27] I've got some stuff from 2016 along the same lines ... they're part of the "efnet news" troll group. They've been trolling channels on Efnet for years [00:27] coming up with arcane questions is part of their game ... they half make it seem like they're legitimate questions [00:27] this particular one was pinging me earlier asking me if I was the same one who wouldn't play their game on EFnet earlier today. [00:27] and CTCP'ing random people [00:28] i just looked through my channel logs and i can see that others have previously reported that this nickname on this same address was ctcp spamming [00:29] right now it's calm, but this is good to know. [00:29] https://www.bitchute.com/search/?query=ted%20gunderson&kind=video [00:30] krytarik: i may have hit some wasp nest there [00:30] tomreyn: some more logs from efnet ... they are very passive in thieir trolling: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/ZpMBtYG484/ [00:30] tomreyn: Nah, we'll be fine! XD [00:32] tomreyn: It's more like the wasp net hit you.. >_< [00:32] yes, i guess [00:32] and i forgot this channel is logged. [00:45] I've invited sigyn to a handful of channels, but I don't have ops everywhere [01:00] Do not allow it in -meeting. [01:07] no? [01:08] (it's acedemic, I tried, I don't have ops there :) [01:09] I mean, it'd be pretty funny next desktop meeting when half the people are klined, but maybe not ideal. :> [01:11] is it *that* aggressive? [01:13] yes it can be [01:13] there was one time it klined *me* by accident, and caught me in the crossfire while hitting others. It did not go well for Freenode that day when they had to deal with an angry teward :P [01:14] sarnold: ^ [01:14] as for not having ops in -meeting that's cause you have no cloak that lets you have +o. TECHNICALLY even my ubuntu member cloak lets me +o if I have to in -meeting to fix things or help chair a meeting when people get stuck. :P [01:18] man if we could harness the energy of an angry teward we could turn off the last of our coal-fired power plants :) [01:18] well if you want to mess around with antimatter-levels of insane energy, then go ahead, but :P [01:18] sigyn can be evil when it's cracking down on people [01:19] and it's *very* sensitive about flooding and rapid message repetition [01:20] it does warn users before it klines them, i think. i got warned a couple times but that was probably an earlier version. [01:25] sarnold: No, they spam lines and lines of text there. They do things weird. [01:25] 'tis a silly place, lets not go there [01:26] tomreyn: No, it warns. teward just likes to ignore warnings. :> [01:26] lol i just never am on IRC anymore xD [01:26] unless I have to be :) [01:27] hehe, poor guy [01:31] is someone from the IRCC here and can they do me a favor and initiate bannination of *!*Radio*@45.86.203.* in #lubuntu-offtopic as I just did in #lubuntu? It's that spammer guy with those links... [01:31] I'd do it but apparently I forgot to ask +o in the lubuntu channels the last time I went through :) [01:31] unless I can dredge up one of the other ops [01:42] Somehow I think that's what the namespace ban list was intended for.. :3 [01:44] Cause that's just the HackerII pal going around and causing trouble everywhere they can think of and get in.. [01:45] perhaps. i don't have access to add a namespace ban though. has one been implemented yet? [01:47] heh yeah I was thinking it'd be keen if we could just pop a mask into a bot and have it apply the ban for us in the dozens of channels we've got [01:47] that'd be the namespace bans i think [01:48] https://freenode.net/kb/answer/extbans [01:48] ah i got you wrong [01:49] oh the $j thing could do the trick [01:49] i think that's what krytarik meant [01:49] there ARE $j bans in places, but I don't know who can put into those lists. [01:51] We've got '$j:#ubuntu-namespace-bans' on the ban list of all channels that are under the supervision of the Ubuntu IRC team, and as it turns out since 2016. [01:52] Sat 06 01:51:03 [freenode] -!- Cannot join to channel #ubuntu-namespace-bans (You must be invited) [01:52] hehe [01:52] probably need to /msg chanserv invite #ubuntu-namespace-bans [01:53] unless -ChanServ- You are not authorized to perform this operation. [01:53] That's being handled solely by the IRCC though. [01:56] And the idea of temporarily adding bans to it has been brought up previously, but never really hammered out yet. So it continued to be rather static and useless. [02:33] Well not useless, just not designed for this usecase. [02:34] I'm here now but I suspect it no longer matters. [02:37] I suspect we're not done with him yet [02:37] I did say "rather useless"! :P [02:38] And yeah, I guess we'll see about their persistency.. === j is now known as jess
