User1: <d2_> this google u speak of,
User1: <d2_> tell me more
User2: User1 it is a small insignifcant company that will never rival Microsoft and is likley to go out of business like Apple
User2: :-)
User1: hehe
User3: ubuntu is a fucking piece of shit
User3: !ops
User4: Help! Channel emergency! (ONLY use this trigger in emergencies) -  Tm_T, tritium, elky, Nalioth, tonyyarusso, imbrandon, PriceChild, Madpilot, Myrtti, mneptok, Pici, tsimpson, gnomefreak, jussi, topyli, or nhandler!
User4: jigsaw433 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops ()
User5: "* Cannot join #ubuntu (You are banned)."
User5: so bazhang decided to change my +q to a +b?
User5: I already knew He was going to make sure my ticket got no further.
User5: Can I talk to a oper.
User5: Elky?
User5: Corey,?
User5: I'd like to speak to a oper about this as this is abuse at this point.
User6: if by oper you mean staff, they can't help you.
User5: yes.
User5: Staff's are opers...
User5: IRC Terms Staffer = Network admin Oper = Channel admin
User6: send an email to the IRCC and they will get to it ASAP. we channel ops have no access to the IRCC email.
User5: I emailed IRCC
User6: now be patient
User5: I also tried to get the +q removed in here but he told me to leave the channel if I having nothign further
User5: as I explained to another op how it's oppinion +q'd
User5: Now he's raised it to a +b over him not liking my oppinion.
User6: right, you tried to resolve the +q and were not satisfied with the outcome. You emailed the IRCC, now wait for them to reply.
User5: The reason I sent the email is I couldn't get another op when he wanted me to leave
User6: Well you got me now.
User6: I am telling you the +q/+b will not be removed until the IRCC has reviewed the issue.
User5: That's a first. I get a op that's not a friend of the op who issued the command.
User5: So how long does it take on average to get a reply or even a view on the ticket.
User5: hey gry !
User6: all depends.
User6: We are volunteers, there is no schedule.
User5: I wish canacole could have paid workers be OP's in these channels.
User6: You think that would make it easier for you to get unbanned?
User5: Any abuse / disputes like this could result in them loosing their job, so there would NEVER be a oppinion based +q or +b
User5: No, I think it would make sure a OP has a STRONG NON OPPINION based reason for their actions.
User6: all +q and +b are opinion based, you just happen to disagree with the opinion.
User5: No they are not.
User5: They are based on rule breaking and abuse...
User5: That'd be like a Freendode staffer banning you because they don't like your name
User6: User5 I can see we aren't going to get anywhere. I suggest you wait patiently for the ircc to reply to your email. give them at least 72 hours to reply.
User5: IDK why It had to be elevated to ircc...
User6: because you disagree with the judgement of the op and wanted to complain to someone in charge.
User5: I wanted a whole DIFFERENT op to deal with it.
User6: the ircc are the people in charge.
User5: I wish the IRC ops were paid workers.
User6: So do we.
User6: not going to happen.
User5: I said paid workers, not the same ops now.
User5: even if it was the same ops not everyone would be hired.
User6: also, I am a whole different op and I agree with the decision bazhang took
User5: Would you like to explain how come?
User6: because we have the same opinions.
User5: How so.
User6: usually
User5: He banned me as I said I think people should have to try and help themselfs before they come to the IRC channel
User5: So you think everyone should be spoon fed and not try anything on their own?
User5: The problem the guy was having was a quick google away but you guys treat it like "GOOGLE FU"
User5: I even answered his question.
User5: I'm probably going to get a +Q here for thinking people should help themselfs first.
User6: nope, but I'm going to ask you to part the channel and wait for the ircc to respond to your email.
User5: Same thing bazhang did. Asked me to leave as there was a differing oppinion... and it was abuse over a oppinion.
User5: I'l be in #ubuntu-social
User4: FloodBot2 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (mass join (1509 users, 3 overflows, 1512 limit))
User4: FloodBot3 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (mass join (1513 users, 3 overflows, 1516 limit))
User4: FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (mass join (1513 users, 3 overflows, 1516 limit))
User1: smartboy is awfully trigger happy with the bot
User6: he's trying to gain points towards membership...
User1: yikes
User6: I haven't really been paying attention but from what I see he is not really that helpful. He's trying though.
User4: FloodBot3 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (mass join (1515 users, 4 overflows, 1518 limit))

User4: FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (mass join (1517 users, 4 overflows, 1521 limit))
User1: doing a lot of /me after flagging others for ot is not impressive
User6: indeed
User1: and redirecting to -server? that seemed out of the blue
User6: well, it kinda sorta makes sense if you don't read the entire question and try to be first to answer
User1: and know nothing about the subject matter at hand, yeah
User6: hehe
User1: <lskaglsd> ESAD.
User6: haven't seen that one in a long time
User6: User1 could you please tell andrew to knock it off with the ot comments. coming from me it will just be the police abusing him.
User4: FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (xubuntu appears to be abusive and has been muted, will need to be UNMUTED MANUALLY)
User4: FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (Guest81857 appears to be abusive and has been muted, will need to be UNMUTED MANUALLY)
User7: o.O
User4: extrasolar called the ops in #ubuntu ()
User1: IdleOne, sorry, had to be away for a bit, missed it. that was andrewh92 or so I am guessing
User4: FloodBot3 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (mass join (1594 users, 2 overflows, 1596 limit))
User4: FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (mass join (1596 users, 2 overflows, 1598 limit))
User8: we have a user in #ubuntu-cat who has many connections and it's been flooding the channel for a few days
User8: e.g. http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/08/13/%23ubuntu-cat.html
User8: all those jaume_off* are connected from the same ip
User8: i was going to ban the ip but i'd like to hear what you think first
User9: ban the ip if it fits
User8: ok, thanks, will do and will try to contact the individual behind the bot
User1: "I know this is totally offtopic, BUT..."
User1: apart from irssi and weechat, ircii is the only terminal based irc client I can seem to find
User1: <smartboyhw> I'm wondering: If I'm contributing to Ubuntu Studio, should I apply membership via the normal Ubuntu board or Xubuntu board?
User1: <DonD> my server is being used in a botnet, my isp have called me and will soon block my internet connection, how can i fix it?
User1: I guess asking if it's ubuntu-server would be a propos
User2: User1 did the issue with the botnet get resolved?
User10: I think the only advise they were given was to reinstall, the only other thing they asked was how to avoid it in future
User1: yep, pretty much
User2: I just talked with him... for the last 30 minnutes
User2: it looks like he has IRC traffic coming from his server... and exposed SSH to the Internet w/o properly securing it.
User2: I gave him links to a few things to secure it... and advised him a reinstall is wise when you do not know what has been done to your box
User1: ouchie
User1: I love it when users say they have tried "everything"
User11: they say that, and yet i still have a pen full of goats, and clean, unstained altars.
User1: :0
User2: lol
User2: User1 they have tried everything they know of...
User2: its a limited set of information, or in some cases, none that they are choosing from
User1: cprofitt, he never did get back with the pastebin of what commands in "everything" he tried
User1: heh yeah
User2: I think he was a bit nervous that I was a patrick27@example.com...
User2: he was very tight with information... then when I told him I did not have enough to really help him and sent him towards the forums he pasted some information tht helped a bit
