User1: chroshonson appears to be trolling
User2: User1 looks like we have a few in there but hard to find them with other users trolling the trolls
User1: IdleOne, yep; srin chroshonson and one other
User2: not sure who is who
User1: dongs123 perhaps
User3: Almost definitely.
User1: entire office suite?
User2: glad I am not looking at this by myself
User4: With a name like "Over 9000 Mudkips"...
User5: FloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (ChrosHonson appears to be abusive - 5.5)
User5: FloodBot3 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (ChrosHonson appears to be abusive - 5.5)
User6: User9 So....this may seem odd, but is ubumirror capable of mirroring Debian too?  I'm pondering making my mirror box do both.
User3: Am I being overly sensitive or is "r00t4rd3d" not an apropriate nick (#ubuntu)?
User1: pretty offensive imo
User7: Can we discuss the !troll factoid please? I don't feel comfortable with it.
User3: !troll
User5: trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel
User7: or more to the point, it's use.
User3: How is it being used, and how is it intended to be used?
User7: It's being used to call people who are already ... excited, trolls. It's supposed to be a definition afaik, not a weapon.
User7: see immediate -offtopic scrollback for what i mean
User7: there was zero gain from using that factoid then
User3: I agree, and I also think that as a definition it's not quite accurate. A troll is someone deliberately trying to cause problems (and thus they don't need to be told what trolling is).
User7: Troll is a very broad term and it's both that and what you say
User7: But, we don't get any benefit from that factoid whatsoever, and plenty of annoyance
User7: IMHO anyway
User3: I agree, looking through logs, of about 20 uses of !troll in #ubuntu I've only seen one use of it as a definition (by Idle One), and the others all only made the situation worse.
User3: I think it's worth having to type out an answer to anyone who legitimately asks what a troll is.
User7: Yeah
User7: I'll let others weigh in before nuking it.
User1: +1 on the nuke
User1: <Administrator_> hi any body knows about jungli ?   thats an odd support question

User9: User6 No idea, look into ftpsync from debian.
User10: Now that the gir rebuilds are over, can someone remove the thing about it from #ubuntu+1 topic?
User10: Upgrading is safe now
User10: User2 ^
User11: <soreau> um.. a small crowd from ~wagnermeredith@example.net ?     <--- he's pointing out a large join in #ubuntu
