Alienjeff's IRC chat madness has to stop!
Alienjeff's IRC chat madness has to stop!
Hello all....
You all may have met our dear friend alienjeff either here or in the chat room and you all know his odd behavior
but this really gets me....
for the last week, he has been "annoying" all users that enter the chat room even with channel operators
with this message:
"Hello *user* welcome to the official puppy Linux support chat! please tell us which support subscription you have purchased: free ,deluxe, or supper support ?"
and here is excerpt from my IRC log
*********************
(01:13:26 PM) Pupuser402 [~puppy@c-98-200-252-176.hsd1.tx.comcast.net] entered the room.
(01:14:41 PM) Pupuser402-1 [~puppy@net130.186.188-170.dynamic.omsk.ertelecom.ru] entered the room.
(01:14:41 PM) Pupuser402-1 left the room (quit: Client Quit).
(01:14:50 PM) Pupuser402: Hey, I sent some guy named alienjeff $50 for Super Support. Is this where I get the support?
(01:15:13 PM) brainfart: You can defintely ask questions here...
(01:16:24 PM) brainfart: I have no idea about paid support, new on this forum myself...
(01:16:44 PM) Roin: afaik there is no paid support, but I might be wrong
(01:16:58 PM) Roin: I mean, afterall if you ask here a question you dont have to pay for answers ^^
********************
When I have asked for explanation for this "Disruptive" behavior he has told me that if they are too dumb to figure out it is just a joke, then the user "should be sent back to windows"
HE IS WARDING OFF AND CONFUSING MANY NEW PUPPY LINUX USERS!!!!
therefore nullifying. the function the channel is SUPPOSED TO PROVIDE
most of them are confused or get the wrong idea
so they leave
but granted since a few disciplinary actions of my self and others alienjeff has been providing *Some* help to the new puppy users before he started this bs
so hes not being a total troll like he was four months ago
where he yelled expletives at every single new user that came in
Just thought i would let you guys know
Thanks and you folks have a blessed day

I'm sorry to hear about that. An announcement to the entire forum doesn't quite seem necessary for this circumstance but what I've done is change the channel topic that shows when you join our IRC chatroom to specifically direct people to see the IRC wiki pages that include the rules, guidelines & tips for using our IRC channel.
There is a place for joking around (in the last section of the forum), but playing with the heads of newcomers and noobies is not one of them. The noobies are already stressed from having to learn the new OS, and they don't need any annoyance, practical joking, or leg pulling. They should get friendly straight-up assistance, even if it amounts to hand-holding.

Alienjeff isn't really a puppy user anymore, he's a Arch Linux user. Really he's been a troll from day one and who in there right minds made him a admin? They should be removed as well as AJ. If there is a puppy chat room owner, they should be able to change the password and remove AJ and dumb dumb from admin status.

Pay attention
if you really wanna know how to handle people whom are acting like fools on the IRC, just go here and look at the top posting. It describes the mechanics of the IRC troll and abuser. Also a good guide on how to deal with their constant put downs and insults..

Ah well,...think that's bad,...you should see what a former

over on the Linuxquestions.org forum:

..sad to see some folks are making Puppy look bad to
the public at large.

IF IF IF IF
the excerpt isn't forged, or a joke,
alienjeff should be banned and has commited a crime.
but i personally don't think so. It must have been a joke.
I personally like AJ, he is funny and helpful, IMO.

What seems hard is actually easy, while what looks like impossible is in fact hard.

Could the same be said for some forum members?The people who are chewing you out seldom have no life and have to live vicariously through their computers
I think the statement from the site has a logical and/or gramatical error.
Since you seem to care about the IRC channel you might want to alert the webmaster of the error.
The language in the IRC article is really a credit to the Puppy Community...shows a great command of the langauge and a keen sense of branding.
I'm wondering what cheese goes best with the whine?

I don't think that imagery and post is the right way to go about it.
Not a good reflection on Puppy.
You could put a warning and direct them to the New User part
of this forum....that's OK.
Yo can rant here....that's OK.
But your site is representing Puppy.
John Murga does not Blast Off too often.
He keeps it cool.
Barry Kauler hardly ever says anything.
Just does it in releases of Puppy, Quirky and bugs etc.
We could do without the apparent Looniness of that other place.
But on our own official and unofficial sites we are better off
being low key.

First off, my part with Puppy Linux is done; I'm out - I only host peoples files. As for whining? No, I am not whining; I am just issuing a warning to new users about the "jerks" that lurk around the IRC (where help is supposed to be dispensed) and just give innocent people hell. I don't care about Murga or Barry for that matter at all; all they had a hand in is creating a stripped down linux version - so in that aspect I don't care. MyPuppyLinux is simply a blog & hosting site (as it host about 374 members blog sites.) Like Mr. Alienjeff, we all have the freedom of speech (wheter it be good or bad) I am just stating my opinion. The first time I ever got on the IRC my race, language and family were made fun of; and called negative names by him so as far for him I have no love lost. Secondly it was because of his attitude that he lost the Puppy Linux community a great service with my hosting services (over 417 accounts have now been turned away at mypuppylinux.) As long as the powers that be allow him to act like an idiot and use profanities at people I will never have a part with Puppy; I'll stick to a real dsitro such as Ubuntu (Alienjeff free.)

Listen Drone-87401, I've had it out with alienjeff a few times,alienjeff is 100% pure jerk-a-holic
but I'm still here, he's one of 22,000 registered users, Really 1,2,4 series wasn't based on other distros, well 4 series was T2, but that isn't considered a distro, woof(series 5) is a way out for Barry so he can do other ground breaking things like Quirky. Puppy is a real distro, a real as it gets, and also Ubuntu has jerks also, they just have better control over the help chat, If you wanted to do something noble start a new freenode chat and only have half descent admins. But hey if you want to runaway feel free, Alienjeff users Arch Linux, so make sure you don't go there either. The world is a large place there's no need to get caught-up by one jerk, heck just stick to the forum like most do, then you can ignore responses.

Ps Ubuntu doesn't have a community like puppy.
