[19:17] <leftyfb> krytarik: their very first post for instance 
[19:17] <leftyfb> 2022 Feb 08 19:57:11 <adderall>	I think I'm afraid of the Penguin. I installed the socialist wallpaper that I'v been using for years and Tux is VERY scary
[19:18] <krytarik> I'm very well aware that adderall is a regular issue there, just felt you were a bit quick to react on that particular message.
[19:19] <Maik> they continue to troll in #ubuntu-discuss now
[19:19] <leftyfb> oh, that I can deal with
[19:23] <leftyfb> now they're nick spamming both #u-d and offtopic. Good thing we went easy on them
[19:26] <Maik> oh well, at least there is a op who deals with this kind of things fast. Ban kick done and move on.
[19:26] <Maik> easy as that
[20:06] <leftyfb> krytarik: seriously? encouraging the trolls now?
[20:07] <krytarik> Yes!
[20:11] <leftyfb> krytarik: go ahead, help the fine lad with his completely valid issue
[21:05] <JackFrost> Maik: Yes, that's the easy path (then they maybe ban evade a little), or we can *nudge* them into the right direction and perhaps end up helping others too, it's happened *many* *many* times, but just banning people doesn't ever end up with that outcome.  When people are frustrated and upset, it's better to try and calm them rather than...riling them up more.  This benefits everyone, while poking 
[21:05] <JackFrost> them with a stick repeatedly just helps..uh.. well.. I can't think of anyone!
[21:06] <JackFrost> I guess if we're just going to ban everyone, might as well start out with *!*@*, that seems to cover quite a few! :>
[21:07] <Eickmeyer> JackFrost: Heh, that would definitely shut them down. XD
[21:09] <JackFrost> Sometimes ops calls on spammers (dropping webcam links, etc) doesn't get op action because it's seen by network staff and removed from the network instead (or, seen by an op/staffer, at that.  Better to remove from the network than just the channel.)
[21:13] <sarnold> oh I *like* those
[21:14] <sarnold> nothing quite like seeing a kline a moment later in lastlog :)
