[19:33] <mane> hey, can you unban me on -offtopic?
[19:33] <mane> i was banned for speaking foreign languages
[20:47] <tomreyn> i cannot, but you should probably explain what will be different than last time if you regain access.
[23:33] <Eickmeyer> 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] <mane> tomreyn: i will speak english only
[23:34] <mane> Eickmeyer: yes i was just practicing russian
[23:34] <mane> but i don't really want to join a russian community
[23:34] <Eickmeyer> mane: No, that doesn't answer my question.
[23:34] <mane> are you expecting an answer?
[23:34] <Eickmeyer> Yes.
[23:35] <mane> i answered: "yes"
[23:35] <Eickmeyer> 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] <Eickmeyer> I didn't ask why YOU did it, I asked if you know WHY that's a rule.
[23:36] <mane> so the communication is fluent and transparent i guess
[23:38] <Eickmeyer> 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] <Eickmeyer> However, that wasn't the reason you were banned.
[23:39] <Eickmeyer> The reason you were banned is because when people started telling you not to do that, you basically snubbed the rule.
[23:39] <Eickmeyer> Three times.
[23:39] <mane> well i don't like to be told what to do
[23:39] <mane> that's why i acted like that
[23:40] <Eickmeyer> 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] <Eickmeyer> 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] <mane> so will i get unvanned or is this over
[23:41] <mane> so will i get unbanned or is this over
[23:41] <Eickmeyer> Sounds like this is over and you will remain permanently banned.
[23:41] <mane> ok
