[19:29] leftyfb called the ops in #ubuntu (MrsSkilton) [19:33] hey, can you unban me on -offtopic? [19:33] i was banned for speaking foreign languages [20:47] i cannot, but you should probably explain what will be different than last time if you regain access. [23:33] mane: ^ , and furthermore, do you understand why speaking languages other than English is not allowed in an English-speaking channel? (I also cannot perform the unban, but this might help expedite things if those that can so choose) [23:33] tomreyn: i will speak english only [23:34] Eickmeyer: yes i was just practicing russian [23:34] but i don't really want to join a russian community [23:34] mane: No, that doesn't answer my question. [23:34] are you expecting an answer? [23:34] Yes. [23:35] i answered: "yes" [23:35] Still doesn't answer my question. My question is: Do you know why using languages other than English is NOT ALLOWED in an English-only channel? [23:36] I didn't ask why YOU did it, I asked if you know WHY that's a rule. [23:36] so the communication is fluent and transparent i guess [23:38] Partially. The reason is because it is impossible for an English-only op to moderate any language other than their native language. So, the English-language channels prohibit other languages. #ubuntu-offtopic is an English only channel. [23:38] However, that wasn't the reason you were banned. [23:39] The reason you were banned is because when people started telling you not to do that, you basically snubbed the rule. [23:39] Three times. [23:39] well i don't like to be told what to do [23:39] that's why i acted like that [23:40] Well, terribly sorry, but that's disrespectful, and it doesn't matter if the person is a channel op or not, the Ubuntu Code of Conduct, which governs that channel, mandates that we're respectful at all times. [23:40] So either you submit to the channel rules and do as you're told when the rules are pointed out, or remain banned. The choice is yours. [23:40] so will i get unvanned or is this over [23:41] so will i get unbanned or is this over [23:41] Sounds like this is over and you will remain permanently banned. [23:41] ok
