[01:15] was in that 'argument' with soundray iirc [01:15] seems to be a user that was banned earlier; cant remember the name though. [01:16] not by that nick [01:17] aye; he/she switched a bunch of times--elk-buntu was talking about him earlier iirc [01:17] purplestar is eternaljoy [01:17] ah right [01:17] he knows i know too [01:17] his advice is reinstall for most everything [01:18] helpful [01:18] robg reincarnated [01:18] act on it then, he has no cat lives left [01:20] im assuming it's he, since they're using male names now. previously 'he' has used female names... so im really unsure [01:20] anyway, off to find breakfast [01:21] nearly dinner here [01:22] well it's closer to lunch than breakfast, but meh [01:22] maccas should still be serving... [01:22] pizza, salad and chicken for me. Maybe mexican seafood (walking distance) [02:32] Flannel called the ops in #ubuntu-offtopic (nouvo) [03:23] ace_suares called the ops in #ubuntu () [03:35] ace_suares called the ops in #ubuntu () [03:37] ace_suares called the ops in #ubuntu () [06:08] can someone tell me why we let #ubuntu-offtopic become #ubuntu-so-desperate-and-horny-and-emo? [06:10] this is going to get messy, eternaljoy/purplestar has got into the convo now [06:10] * nickrud lurks [06:11] haha, wobblywu is messing with him/her [06:29] well we can be sure it's a him now [06:36] i knew it was him when he checked in as ej [06:36] glad I dont have chanops in there :) [06:46] we used to use -offtopic as testing grounds for ops, then it got too foul [06:47] I can guess the time frame. [06:48] It really has degraded since I first appeared there a couple of years ago... [06:48] haha [06:50] maybe we need #ubuntu-sump [06:50] wgrant, yes, alot. there used to be respectful conversations there. now it's just teeny emo relationship crap all the time [06:50] Yep. [06:51] this was when we were allowed to keep it sane :( [06:51] nobody screamed at us for being too strict back then [06:52] but these kids in there now would choke and cry if we tried to do it [06:52] hehe [06:52] Not if you got rid of them all :P [06:52] wgrant, so tempting. so so so tempting [06:54] elky you are getting old, you sound like my crotchety neighbor ;) [06:55] nickrud, 8 years of real-time internet moderating does that to one [06:55] you too will become a bitter old op one day [06:55] Somebody sane really should regain control of -offtopic at some point... [06:55] get off my lawn! [06:56] wgrant, we try reguarly. we always get bullied down [06:56] nah, I did real time homeless shelter management for a bunch of years, this is G rated gradeschool [06:56] Can't you just ignore their shrieks as you strangle them? [06:56] Or ban them. One of them. [06:56] apparantly it's not bullying to threaten and troll *us* into submission, but it's bullying for us to stop the flaming and trolling of others [06:56] Ah, I see. Makes sense. [06:57] yep, clear as mud. [06:57] there *is* a norules channel: ##politics [06:58] Maybe they'll collect in their instead. [06:58] that's why this confuses me; if they want norules, then it is there. [06:58] maybe it it too norules for them :) [07:00] bazhang, there needs to be something in between. [07:01] elky, good point. [07:01] but, there's no such thing. you cannot maintain an inbetween [07:01] that's like expecting there to be a truely moderate political party [07:02] a first step might be mentioning in the topic that the coc still applies to -offtopic [07:06] i'd volunteer you to do the change now, but i dont think you'd want everyone currently speaking to accuse you of picking on them [07:06] Can't we get ChanServ to change it? [07:06] how? [07:07] if you'll change it, I'll applaud in channel [07:07] chanserv has a topic command. [07:07] 'The TOPIC command allows for the changing of a topic on a channel.' [07:07] since I don't have ops there [07:09] elky: Brave. [07:09] * nickrud imagines someone bopping me in the head over the net [07:10] trolls ;) [08:08] @btlogin [08:16] ompaul, i need you to hawk siccness in #ubuntu, he's giving trollish advice [08:18] Oh joy. [08:18] * wgrant pokes his head in. [08:19] wgrant, feel free to ! o p s him if he does it again [08:19] ack [08:19] * wgrant just read #u-au-c backlog. What greatness. [08:20] wgrant, i know. are you on the access list, it'd be wonderful to have someone kick him out [08:20] elky: I'm not, no. [08:20] since apparantly it's only me who thinks he's a loser [08:20] I'm only in #u-au, AFAIK. [08:20] gah... darn new services [08:20] Only staff, you and yama have access. [08:21] kick siccness? [08:21] This version takes a bit of getting used to, but it's more flexible. [08:21] bazhang, if you'd be so kind, reason 'trolling' [08:21] wgrant, yes, but i'd have you on the list by now. i dont. [08:21] i wouldnt follow any ubuntu documentation for implementing it [08:21] bazhang: if he's in need of it [08:21] it'd be wrong definitely [08:22] he's not spoken in a bit [08:22] bazhang, boot him for that. [08:22] If he pipes up again, sure. [08:22] nalioth, because i ripped him in -chat, where im currently being laughed at and trolled [08:22] But he hasn't done anything evil for about 10 minutes, and kicking him now would look a bit odd... [08:23] no it wouldnt, it'd look like an op reading backscroll/following up on a complaint [08:23] Ah, OK, I don't watch #ubuntu much. [08:23] I thought most stuff would be realtime. [08:23] im allowed to make a complaint even if im an op. the only reason im not acting is because im being challenged personally by him elsewhere [08:24] this is not the first time he has given atrocious advice either [08:25] Indeed. [08:27] wgrant, sorry, got caught up, still havent found the reference to tell me how to add you to access [08:28] elky: /msg chanserv flags #channel [08:28] -ChanServ- You are not authorized to perform this operation. [08:28] elky: /msg chanserv flags #channel $nick [monkey see from previous output] [08:29] But... you're +F. You must have privileges. [08:29] i typod [08:29] you're set now according to what the services told me [08:30] thanks paul [08:30] Thanks. [08:31] i have -10000000000 regrets about removing his access to the au channels [08:31] hehe [08:31] Mhm. [08:31] (note the negative) [08:32] * wgrant now lies in wait for him. [08:37] wgrant, this is from one of the other -chat'ers... "most times I leave the channels it is because he is around making things unbearable, I'd hate to turn up to a LUG meeting with him around" [08:38] bazhang, care to ban when you are removing? [08:38] +b [08:38] ban sinister right off the bat? [08:38] don't bother now - but I would have [08:47] elky: I'm not surprised. [08:52] That has got to be one of the least funny things I've seen in my life, elky. [08:52] of course [08:52] im cracking up. [09:04] wgrant, im actually suspecting winlulz to be sicc, but not sure. the appearance of |414toolong| leans me towards it being purplestar -- they're aquainted. [09:04] elky: I also suspected winlulz to be siccness, until you suggested that it was purplestar. [09:08] wgrant, time to remove siccness [09:11] elky: Why? [09:12] Oh. [09:12] I see. [09:12] Didn't see that last bit. [09:12] Do I want to dispose of him? [09:12] you do [09:13] wgrant, he is gone from #ubuntu [09:13] ompaul: So I saw. [09:13] wgrant, perhaps he is that "marc from Spell AC/DC" [09:13] ompaul: Now you've got me confused. [09:13] all the way from green acres [09:14] wgrant, I am having fun you remove him I will get you a url [09:14] * wgrant works out how to. [09:14] Haven't had to do it since I moved to irssi... [09:14] btw, it seems the bots are malfunctioning on the mibbit front [09:15] since they're not able to exempt connections [09:17] wgrant, i now have pms from the tor user [09:18] elky: Oh good, saying what? [09:18] he's pming everyone it seems [09:18] Um @ penguincentral. [09:18] nothing [09:19] Ah. [09:19] Right. [09:19] iritant in #freenode [09:19] nalioth, can you kindly kill i=winlulz@gateway/tor/x-6f6d669dcff0e985 [09:19] nothing to see here [09:28] elky: He's got me now. [09:28] In PM. [09:28] 'TSM TSM TSM' [09:28] wgrant: /quote silence n'est pas? [09:28] he just parted the channel [09:28] !intrepid [09:28] Alpha Software: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidIbex | Warning lots of breaking software and other good stuff between now and October!

[09:29] I'll remember that ompaul [09:30] thank you ubottu [09:30] ahh doh [09:30] we're al being PM'd with chants about the tivoli storage manager [09:30] He's still a legend. [09:30] in his own lunchtime [09:31] wgrant, remove sicc now i think [09:31] Oh I so want to kick him, but I'm not sure where the threshold is... [09:31] the threshhold was years ago [09:31] OK, will do. [09:31] How should I ban him? [09:31] I haven't done this in aaaages. [09:32] do you remember how to even op up? [09:32] I do. [09:32] I'm just not sure what ban mask I'm meant to be using. [09:32] give me ops in there for 30 seconds and he will be gone [09:32] that would be risky [09:32] #u-au is generally not too foully behaved. [09:33] ompaul: He was attacking you not long ago. [09:33] in such a way as too not darken the sun ever again [09:33] :) [09:33] fine he can [09:33] then I wish to make a complaint about being abused [09:33] go for it :P [09:33] * ompaul wanders off in the direction of some good books he has [09:35] wgrant, *!siccness@*nsw.bigpond.net.au should be sufficient [09:35] I fear a power outage - we have a big storm here [09:35] elky: I was thinking something like that, but I've stuffed it up before. [09:35] wgrant, op up and type /mode +b *!siccness@*nsw.bigpond.net.au [09:36] I know how to do that :P [09:37] Huh, no chanserv remove any more? [09:37] Thanks elky. [09:42] I didn't dream ChanServ's remove command, did I? [09:42] Because it's not there in new services. [09:43] it isnt? [09:43] wgrant, there is one but generally we don't have access to it [09:44] someone thought it was something you should set a static limit on in the new services (well done who ever - yes I am bitter and twisted like lemon or lime) [09:44] sure? [09:44] /remove #ubuntu-ops wgrant testing [09:44] Uh? [09:44] Heh. [09:44] elky, there is akick [09:44] ompaul: remove or akick ( they are different ) [09:45] wgrant: /quote remove #channel $nick [09:45] nalioth: Ah, so it's not part of ChanServ. Hmmm. [09:45] what's akick i wonder [09:45] auto remove of the worst ones [09:45] I guess I used it as part of some ChanServ script for XChat, so presumed it was part of ChanServ. [09:46] elky: ompauls name for 'autoremove' [09:46] elky, you know you remove a ban that is set that says user@domain and then they try and rejoin and you see chanserv removing them in a nanosecond thats akick [09:47] well it used be called autorm [09:47] iirc [09:47] ah [09:48] is our friend purplestar still floating around? [09:50] sicc has come up with some really great pronouns for me. [09:51] wgrant, welcome to opland ;-) [09:52] These actually seem rather original. [09:52] Not like those I got over release in #u-r-p... [09:56] wgrant, we welcome pastebins of abuse incidents [10:01] usually we sit around and laugh at them ;) [10:51] im lagging something shocking, so dont rely on me [10:54] woot over [10:57] curse you murphy! [10:57] * wgrant sends some lag elky's way. [11:51] flaccid called the ops in #kubuntu () [12:58] hello [13:15] * Myrtti sighs [13:16] hai Myrtti [13:16] * elky offer Myrtti some fresh apple crumble [13:16] * wgrant hides.

[13:21] ompaul: irssi-otr? [13:21] :-P [13:22] wgrant, no in this case it is just a mental exercise which hopefully will in time become a real practice [13:23] * ompaul goes back to brain working while it is stormy outside "Very windy for a time this afternoon, with gusts of 100 to 120 km/h in places."

[17:06] to #ubuntu-offtopic? [17:06] NO [17:06] why ubuntu ? [17:06] just make a temporary channel, [17:06] nothing to do with ubuntu [17:06] well, sorry [17:06] by the way, do you know any channel about bots? [17:07] well, not a temporary channel [17:07] please explain the behaviour of your bot a bit more [17:07] I want him to chat with people besides me [17:07] Davinci2008: why ? just test in a private channel [17:07] well, my bot answers google requests and wikipedia [17:07] most channels will have rules about not using bots [17:08] so test in private [17:08] but he also speaks 30% of the time [17:08] invite people to your test channel [17:08] so, I want him to talk to real people [17:08] ok [17:08] good idea [17:08] then the place for it is not #ubuntu nor -offtopic [17:08] err [17:09] maybe ask the ops of somewhere like ##defocus [17:09] * Myrtti nudges jussi01 with her nose [17:09] :-) [17:09] thanks jussi01 [17:09] * jussi01 does not think asking random people too join a random channel is a good idea [17:09] well... [17:09] I didn't say random people [17:09] it must be something AI related [17:09] invite people in channels to join your channel is not good [17:10] ask friends, collegues, members of similar groups you work in to test with you [17:10] yes [17:10] don't ask random people in random channels as a lot of channels will also not appriciate that [17:10] ok [17:10] :) [17:11] * jussi01 pokes Myrtti [17:12] *squeek* [17:13] does gray color mean op?

[19:12] that is *SO* wrong [19:12] it ain't worth it [19:12] it has so many mistakes I'm considering joining #ubuntu-uk to tell him to learn spelling and punctuation :-D [19:12] grammar dictators ♥ [19:13] I already told them that we use it in #ubuntu so people who don't speak english as a native language get a chance to understand each other [19:15] ompaul I feel this is racist.. I need a second opinion.. does jewbuntu or whitebuntu really exist? [19:15] yes, it is. I kicked him a few minutes ago for asking about porn [19:15] Jack_Sparrow: there is a website for the latter iirc [19:15] He's a ##politics person.

There'll be a note in bantracker [19:18] nickrud, note my last item [19:18] you may remove yours but will you touch mine ;-) [19:19] go for it [19:19] ompaul I speak truth to POWER ;P [19:19] nickrud, something I am known to applaud [19:20] * ompaul nods and then wanders though the corridors of ompaul's mind [19:23] hi kids [19:24] and ompaul ;-P [19:24] hi Tm_T [19:24] seems ompaul is the butt of the jokes today :) [19:26] * Myrtti hugs Tm_T [19:26] nickrud, so it appears, but we fear not [19:27] yes we know you have the intestinal fortitude to withstand the slings and arrows [19:29] ...
