[20:51] <arraybolt3> Hey, I'm doing a lot of stuff in the support channels, helping users with problems, and I've noticed that I'm sometimes sending several messages in a row in order to walk a user through a process. On my 1080p screen, this looks fine, but it might have messed someone up if they were using an 80x25 console. Is my behavior considered flooding, and if so, how can I guide a user through a series of steps without doing that? (You can see 
[20:51] <arraybolt3> a recent example of my walk-throughs on the kubuntu channel - I did 8 messages in ~4 minutes to guide someone through the use of "dd".)
[21:55] <tomreyn> arraybolt3: hi! if your behaviour was considered flooding, a bot would mute you for a bit - but this does not seem to have happened, yet, and should not happen at this rate.
[21:56] <arraybolt3> @tomreyn Thank you, that's what I needed to know!                                           
[21:56] <tomreyn> muting happens when you send more than a certain number of emssages to the channel per minute. you can prevent it even better by sending more than one sentence per line.
[21:57] <tomreyn> making your messages well readable on whatever output there is is something the receiving client will need to handle - i would not care so much about this, unless it is known that they have special needs.
[21:57] <tomreyn> arraybolt3: you're welcome
[21:58] <arraybolt3> @tomreyn Great. Thank you for your help and advice!
[21:58] <tomreyn> (btw. no need for @ for addressing people on IRC)
[21:59] <arraybolt3> tomreyn: True, I just do that for the sake of Telegram users (though I guess I can tell you're not on Telegram.) If I always do it, I won't accidentally miss someone I figure. If it's annoying, I can stop.
[21:59] <tomreyn> that's unless they're actually on telegram behind IrcSomebot
[21:59] <tomreyn> not annoying, just wanted to make sure you are aware ;)
[22:00] <tomreyn> it's great that you're helping out.
[22:00] <arraybolt3> Thanks. I'm really enjoying being a part of the community that makes all my computers work. :-)
[22:01] <tomreyn> :)
[22:01] <tomreyn> arraybolt3: note that i was telling you this as someone who does not actually manage #kubuntu ;) - so don't mistake it as an 'official' answer
[22:03] <arraybolt3> @tomreyn Oh OK. I should be good as long as I don't copy-paste a million-line-long error message, right?
[22:04] <tomreyn> that's what pastebin's are for
[22:04] <tomreyn> don't paste more than one line at a time.
[22:04] <arraybolt3> Yeah. I just want to not flood by typing messages (I type 80-90+ WPM).
