[14:13] <DJones> They were repeatedly asking about a package that didnt show up in the official repo's, started calling anyone who asked for more info morons etc, wouldn't provide any further info
[15:31] <el> fwiw they were account identified, so an $a:shimbles account ban would be better than the nick ban. if they return under another nick you'll want to go with that.
[17:59] <DJones>  el: I removed the ban as soon as they let the channel, its been that long since I've had to op up, I coulldne;t remember the command from irssi to just remove /remove didn't work, but could well be out of date
[17:59] <DJones> s/let/left
[18:01] <DJones> Nobody else who was up to date was around, so felt like I had to do something, didn't want to, but couldn't leave it any longer
[18:03] <krytarik> DJones: Irssi doesn't know of 'remove' nor would it just pass it through to the server, so I got an alias set for it: "/alias remove quote remove $C $0 :$1-"
[18:03] <DJones> Have to say, credit to leftyb, they didn't get irate, didn't get abusive, followed guidelines,  followed COC. Credit to them until last option was to call ops
[18:04] <DJones> krytarik: Iused to have a /remove alias set, but I guess 18-24 months in the background has let fall by the wayside
[18:05] <DJones> I'll look at updating my alias
[18:05] <DJones> Seems to  have updated, thanks krytarik
[18:05] <krytarik> Sure!
[18:07] <krytarik> Normally I'd just let autobleh do the work though.. >_>
[18:08] <DJones> krytarik: Yeah, thats what I use, but, must be out of date
[18:09] <DJones> Long time since I've needed it, too many medical issues to be checking irc
[18:09] <DJones> Just starting to get back to normal
[18:09] <krytarik> Oh, that's nice to hear though..
[18:10] <DJones> Daytime UK time is fine, later in the day I have to be careful
[18:11] <DJones> Blackouts/loss of awareness around early evening
[18:12] <krytarik> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcTeam/OperatorGuide#Useful_Scripts - and while it still got the Bitbucket address, this page refers to my version of autobleh (it's on LP now but no changes since)
[18:13] <krytarik> Well, I'd say you aren't alone in that though.. XD
[18:25] <DJones> krytarik: Thanks for that link, I'll have a look at it
[18:28] <DJones> I have a feeling mine hasn't been updated for years
[18:29] <krytarik> If you never heard of my fork of it yet, then yes. :P
[19:52] <Unit193> Additionally, if you have newer perl/irssi, then it's possible the version you have no longer loads.
