[03:15] <NewtonTrendy> hello i would like to For general chatter you can visit our social channels, but please be aware that there are limits to behaviour and subjects in there also. makes it sound ambiguous if you are allowed to use obstfucated swears
[03:17] <NewtonTrendy> i know the rules now btw but i really struggle sometimes to express myself and get misunderstood so i dont want to sound like im not trying
[03:19] <NewtonTrendy> im going to try as consistiently as i can to not to snap at ops when people do bait me and im the one that gets warned because its not about the fact they are in the wrong, thats a seperate issue, its about other users finding me offensive
[03:19] <NewtonTrendy> are there any humans here?
[03:21] <NewtonTrendy> anyway further feedback is that you can say, hey NewtonTrendy thats not actually allowed, and i will stop, you dont have to set out the formality of a warning for me, and perhaps not for most users
[03:22] <NewtonTrendy> the offtopic channel has to be one of my favourite rooms and i dont want to let trolls get me banned from this room
[03:25] <Unit193> Sometimes people are crappy, but that doesn't mean in turn you can be crappy.  If you're baited, it's up to you whether you fall for the bait or not.  You can simply not respond.  As to adding that specifically to the topic or factoid, we can't list literally everything which is not permitted, and trolls would try to rules lawyer anyway.
[03:26] <Unit193> It's always good to remember, you can't control others actions, you can only control your responses.
[03:38] <Eickmeyer> NewtonTrendy: Additionally to what Unit193 said, we do allow people under 18 (with parental permission) to participate in the Ubuntu namespace chatrooms, and even have two project/Ubuntu flavor leads that are under 18. Even my son contributes to Edubuntu. Therefore, we keep the Ubuntu namespace channels family friendly.
[03:39] <Eickmeyer> In other words, abide by the guidelines, including !language, or don't participate. It's that simple.
[03:40] <Eickmeyer> What you do is up to you.
[03:41] <Eickmeyer> As far as obfuscated swears, they are *not* OK.
[03:52] <NewtonTrendy> Eickmeyer: you it might be as simple as that to you, but if you refuse to tell people the rules, it will be your own fault you have lost so many people who would have been a huge benefit to the project in general. i'm certainly not saying you were technically incorect, but your attitude in context appears confrontational. do you know why i would need you to be that way, or is there a reason?
[03:53] <Eickmeyer> NewtonTrendy: My intention wasn't confrontational, I was just making sure that you know that only you are responsible for your actions. Nobody else.
[03:55] <Eickmeyer> And I am 100% certain you are told where to find the rules the moment you join one of our namespace rooms.
[03:55] <NewtonTrendy> ok, this clears everything up, thanks for your response, i feel happy today, and i will honestly do everything to make sure im abiding by the rules that i can. i will wait approx 30 seconds then part maybe put one comment in before bed
[03:55] <NewtonTrendy> its in the topic but this doubt for me is not needed
[03:56] <Eickmeyer> Sounds great. Thanks. :)
