[01:10:47] <Bytram> Demolition phase is now in progress!
[01:16:27] <Bytram> That will be followed in a few hours (I think) by some cleanup and by the movement of the bridge into its new location!
[01:20:57] <hubie> I don't think I've seen this much heavy equipment going all at once before.
[01:21:49] <hubie> Down my way they throw up a bunch of orange barrels and you drive by them for months wondering if anything is happening!

[01:26:51] <Bytram> hubie: Look who has posted 46 stories!
[01:29:27] <hubie> I guess I just got on a roll. :)
[01:29:59] <Bytram> I'll give one more hint ... look at my nick spelled backwards =)
[01:30:34] <hubie> I feel dense for not noticing that before :)
[01:31:16] <Bytram> many have missed that before you!
[01:39:07] <Bytram> I was martyb on IRC in the early days of SN... then there were so many nicks starting with the letter "M"; there were so many collisions that there came a command for all the "M"s to change... and here I am!
[01:41:10] <Bytram> hubie: BTW, I got your message -- thank you! You're doing great!!!
[01:44:08] <Bytram> Time to hit the hay -- have a good night!
[01:44:18] <hubie> Bytram: Thanks. I finally figured out how to get my password reset. I took a step out of character for me and I read the instructions. :)
[01:44:28] <hubie> Bytram: I hope you have a good night too.
[01:45:35] <Bytram> RTFM? No way!
[01:45:50] <Bytram> ;)

[06:24:18] <chromas> pretty sure that 'command' was a joke

[06:55:58] <SoyCow5200> chromas is the joke.
[07:20:11] <SoyCow5200> SoylentNews is dead, or, at least, not too lively. Do we need more Runaway journals, or short Fusty spasms?
[07:20:40] <SoyCow5200> What makes a healthy news aggregation site, anyway?
[07:51:31] <SoyCow5200> The Spam mods are an issue, no matter what your political orientation.
[08:10:13] <FatPhil> wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah
[08:11:09] <SoyCow5200> Wha, wha, wha, wha? Wha-t are you going on about?
[08:11:20] <AzumaHazuki> is it wrong, though? i see the point here.
[08:11:36] <AzumaHazuki> the spam mod is powerful. letting it be abused is a problem
[08:18:21] <FatPhil> Spam mods are working great, the abuse from 1% of the community is manageable. It's the same 1% that are dysfunctional anyway.
[08:18:48] <AzumaHazuki> just so long as they get corrected, is the point i think he's making
[08:19:33] <SoyCow5200> MartyB always said that this was the landing place for users, to report problems, and such. A Soycow has reported a problem with https://soylentnews.org and no one wants to deal with it? OK, we are done here.

[08:19:56] <FatPhil> Talking about yourself in the third person again?
[08:20:31] <SoyCow5200> No, I am Soycow5200. You got a problem with that?
[08:21:05] <FatPhil> I have a problem with abject idiocy, and you are a tidal wave of it.
[08:22:09] <FatPhil> You complained about that post yesterday. It's spam. It's just multiply repeated crap that contributes nothing to the site.
[08:22:24] <SoyCow5200> I do not care who you think is responsible for the post, the Spam mod is uncalled for, and needs to be rescinded.
[08:22:32] <FatPhil> So we can work out immediately who posted it, just from those attributes.
[08:23:08] <SoyCow5200> Tell me, delusional drunk FatPhil, who do you think you are talking to?
[08:23:17] <FatPhil> A troll

[08:39:20] <SoyCow5200> BTW, not Ari, here.
[08:42:13] <SoyCow5200> Can we be adults now, if FatPhil is finished with his tantrum>

[09:39:25] <janrinok> Aristarchus - go back and read the Decision published in February which clearly states: (1) Permanent Ban
[09:39:26] <janrinok> 'aristarchus' will face a full and permanent ban from this community.
[09:39:26] <janrinok> His account(s) will be completely disabled.
[09:39:26] <janrinok> Any further posting he may make to the site will be treated as Spam.
[09:39:47] <janrinok> It is not incorrectly moderated - you just cannot read.

[11:57:07] <SoyCow5132> janrinok, what are you going to do, spam mod more ACs? This is the way of madness.
[11:58:06] <janrinok> No, only those we believe to be aristarchus.
[11:58:12] <SoyCow5132> There is no aristarchus any more. He is banned, he cannot log in.
[11:58:59] <janrinok> So everything is rosy in your world - good for you.
[11:59:46] <SoyCow5132> More random ACs spam modded by paranoid admins, I take it. Well, carry on!
[12:01:11] <janrinok> If they behave like aristarchus then they too will be considered as Spam. If it walks like a duck etc. If you are NOT aristarchus then you have no need to behave like him, have you? So it shouldn't affect you at all.
[12:02:11] <SoyCow5132> Besides, was not the argument that purging a user would fatally damage the database SN runs on? This should be interesting.
[12:03:02] <janrinok> We haven't purged the database - his journal and comments are still there for all to see. You are clutching at straws for a justification now.
[12:04:18] <janrinok> He was given the options, he chose the path that he took. Matter is closed.
[12:04:33] <SoyCow5132> "Completely disabled"? Not so much, then?
[12:05:32] <janrinok> I take it that 'Matter is closed' was something you missed?
[12:06:15] <SoyCow5132> I have a list of puppets of sock that might be other users. Interested?
[12:08:14] <janrinok> If you wish to give them to us our email is as always admin [a t ] soylentnews.org
[12:08:36] <SoyCow5132> And, I thought an honest users report of spam mod abuse might be heeded.
[12:08:54] <SoyCow5132> Looks like I was wrong.
[12:08:58] -!- SoyCow5132 has quit []
[12:10:21] <janrinok> Yes, it looks like you were wrong again.

[12:15:24] <janrinok> Hi hubie !!!
[12:16:32] <hubie> Good morning/afternoon! How was the trip?
[12:17:23] <janrinok> Not as successful as I would have liked but still worth the effort. Have you got access to the other channels yet?
[12:18:16] <hubie> I don't know. I've only recently figured out how to request my password be sent to me, so I haven't been on IRC very much.
[12:18:55] <janrinok> I suspect that the answer is 'No' then - can we switch to the training channel pse?
[12:19:21] <hubie> Sure
[12:19:37] <Bytram> janrinok: Never argue with a fool... they'll drag you down to their level and bludgeon you to death with experience!
[12:20:13] <janrinok> Hi Bytram !!!
[12:20:30] <janrinok> I wasn't arguing - just pointing the holes in his argument :)
[12:20:32] <Bytram> hi! PM?
