Howdy -- can you share some logs of the issue here? That would help a bunch, thanks!

I put him on ignore list after while as it was annoying. thanks
Jebus. That guy's raving on the github issue tracker, too. Sorry. I don't have ops on the IRC channel, so I can't do anything about it (and I can never seem to get logged in when I want to, anyway...I suck at IRC).
I mean, he's contributing patches (nothing super-technical, but good patches are always welcome), but he's just off the fucking farm with his ranting; he can't seem to have any conversation without going off on this same unhinged spiel. I have no idea what he thinks he's accomplishing by ranting at people with anti-LGBTQ stuff on a technical IRC channel or issue tracker. If I wanted to come up with a farther off-topic conversation to have...I don't think I could. My patience is worn pretty thin.
Ignoring him is the best option for now. If he keeps it up, maybe Eric can ban him tomorrow during waking hours. I should be sleeping, but I'm trying to get a new Webmin devel release out to fix some debian 9 issues...got distracted by the de-railing tactics.
yeah I had to mute github notifications from virtualmin as well.. just wanted to let you know guys about the noise on irc. I close this and leave it up on Eric.

Yeah he hasn't said anything since I joined yesterday, I'll give him one warning to knock it off, then a ban if it keeps up.
update: perhaps he did not said anything to you but I am receiving spam from him via pm.. I had his nick on ignore so he changed his nick and pm and then changed back so I had do do ingore from normal form to

Sorry that you have to put up with that!
Your logs make it so that he'll get a total of one warning, though we unfortunately can't kick him for personal messages that he's sending.
But we'll keep an eye out and handle that should anything additional occur in the channel. Thanks for the heads up!
