 Hello, I was in #fedora-social on Sun Jun 16 and witnessed an altercation
 between EvilBob and dhaval2712. Where dhaval was discussing a plan with 7
 proxies to avoid NSA and dhaval said something on the lines of why we find
 it so shocking. and evilbob respond with "what you being a dumbass , not
 shocking/unexpected at all" and proceeded to +q him for no reason i was
 around very long before this conversation and nothing had happened so from
 my knowledge no previous incidences have occurred. I do not have logs but
 dan408 said somebody would.

  Any additional notes or logs:

  Thanks for your feedback!

Comment (by kevin):

 So, a few things to note:

 The user you mention was simply quieted for 15minutes. A quiet is used as
 a way to stop someone who is starting to be disruptive and give them a
 short timeout to stop and reconsider what they are doing and relax instead
 of a problem escalating. It's a very short break (15minutes).

 The user you mention has attempted several times to start political
 discussions, despite being asked to not do so. There's lots of other
 places to have heated political debates, there's no need or desire for
 them in a social channel. You didn't see any other incidences, because
 they had been in the previous month or so, not the previous few minutes. I
 think you jumped to conclusions from insufficient information.

 In any case, I don't see any abuse here, barring further information.

Comment (by schienach):

 That may be so that he causes problems. But he wasn't at the time he was
 just discussing his idea of a proxy type system which was inspired by nsa
 type politics but wasn't directly involving politics. He gets called a
 dumbass from an admin which seems very proper to me (a bit of sarcasm).
 Unfortunately it seems even if this was a big deal nothing would be done
 anyway but it was worth a shot. Considering how many tickets are out
 against evilbob yet nothing is done.

Comment:

 Well as to not waste any more time I have chosen to close the ticket. As
 for one the community has been this way for years from the looks. Admins
 apparently have immunity. There also is no point in trying to get to the
 bottom of this if I'm no longer going to be in the channel.
