- 09:39 -!- Home page for #freenode: http://freenode.net/
- 09:39 -!- Irssi: Join to #freenode was synced in 2 secs
- 09:40 < Jake> wow u allow vhosts like that^?
- 09:40 -!- thief [~realtime@unaffiliated/realtime] has joined #freenode
- 09:40 <+erry> Jake, that vhost was set through rdns
- 09:40 < Jake> i know but u allow it?
- 09:41 <+jbroome> Jake: we don't have much to do with it.
- 09:41 < Jake> u can ban it
- 09:41 < ayzee> jake what rule did i break?
- 09:41 < Jake> your vhost has the word nigga in it
- 09:41 < ayzee> i'm here to chat about my favorite open source projects and to get support for my ubuntu operating system
- 09:41 < ayzee> not to bother anyone
- 09:41 < ayzee> i can't help what my reverse dns is set to
- 09:42 < ayzee> i don't control it
- 09:42 < Jake> u could change it or ask for it changed
- 09:42 < pparadis> if someone wants to have a PTR like that, i don't see the issue with it. the mere existence of the word isn't indicative of abusive behavior.
- 09:42 <+njan> ayzee: please pick a different shell provider, then.
- 09:42 <+njan> ayzee: that RDNS isn't appropriate on freenode.
- 09:42 < ayzee> i'll do my best but this is the only shell i have right now njan
- 09:42 < pparadis> really? iirc, that's actually a lyric from a rap song.
- 09:43 <+njan> ayzee: I'd suggest investigating it sooner rather than later, as we frequently prevent people with offensive vhosts like yours from connecting, as they aren't exactly in
- line with our network guidelines.
- 09:43 <+jbroome> so is F the police, but it's probably not an appropriate hostname
- 09:44 < ayzee> njan: i'll do my best, like i said. but i'm not bothering anyone or breaking any rules as far as I know, at least in so far as my behavior
- 09:44 <+ttuttle> ayzee: except you are bothering people
- 09:44 * pparadis has a super short fuse on actual abusive behavior, but this bothers me.
- 09:44 < ayzee> ie, i'm not saying anything racist or causing any disruption
- 09:44 <+ttuttle> ayzee: every time your rDNS shows up
- 09:44 <+njan> ayzee: ^
- 09:44 <+ttuttle> ayzee: I promise it offends at least one person
- 09:44 <+groupcat> "I'm not breaking any rules" is the last resort of the lowest troll denominator.
- 09:44 <+ttuttle> groupcat: that's not even the point
- 09:44 <+ttuttle> it still counts as racist, even if it's not in the message body of a PRIVMSG
- 09:45 -!- diamonds [~diamonds@unaffiliated/t0nic] has joined #freenode
- 09:45 <+ttuttle> so it *is* against the rules, and it also *does* offend people
- 09:45 < diamonds> how to ignore :(
- 09:45 < pparadis> but it's not racist, it's a lyric from a rap song.
- 09:45 < ayzee> i'm just going to part this channel and work on getting my host changed
- 09:45 < diamonds> can't figure host mask
- 09:45 < ayzee> i feel harassed
- 09:45 <+ttuttle> pparadis: that's not an excuse
- 09:45 < pparadis> seriously, what the heck?
- 09:45 -!- bjgbob|away [~bjgbob@unaffiliated/bjgbob] has joined #freenode
- 09:45 -!- bjgbob|away is now known as bjgbob
- 09:45 < diamonds> like say I wanted to ignore ttuttle
- <---emopart---->
- 09:47 -!- Irssi: Starting query in freenode with njan
- 09:47 <ayzee> hey i'm sorry, i didn't mean to cause trouble
- 09:47 <ayzee> do you know where i might be able ot find a free/low cost shell alternative?
- 09:49 <njan> there are a bunch of free shell providers
- 09:49 <njan> I wouldn't want to recommend a specific one, as we don't endorse any.
- 09:50 <njan> Alternatively, we can provide cloaks for registered/identified users which will be applied when you ident to nickserv.
- 09:50 <ayzee> and that would be acceptable?
- 09:51 <njan> If we're willing to cloak you. To be honest, folks with rdns's like that aren't often connected to the network purely to use it productively.
- 09:51 <njan> We make a judgement call when folks request cloaks to whether or not we're happy to hand them out based on a number of criteria and the judgement of the staffer.
