Privacy issues in Ubuntu's IRC channels and Launchpad

[Joseph Price]

I'm not sure I agree Tm_T...

"Should you publish logs of your channel" is an important decision to be
made. I also see it as a binary decision. I think you can either publish
everything or nothing.

Consider a world where we decided that logs would be published but there
would be a mechanism for individuals to remove their contributions from it.
What would you propose we do with the following exchange from #ubuntu-ops:

130903T184144<+IdleOne> All over a t-shirt
130903T184335<+Pricey> IdleOne: This was a question about t shirts?
130903T184358<+IdleOne> Pricey: yes, one that had nothing to do with
#ubuntu at that.

If I wanted my line removed... would you also propose we should remove
lines like IdleOne's second? It's a pretty strong inference that I was
involved with the discussion. It's also pretty easy to infer what I said.

If you do, then I challenge anyone to find a system that could automate
that process. (I'm known as 'price' in some places which is quite a common
word... yay for more ambiguity and false positives)
If you don't then what's the point in me requesting removal of my own line?

If it is decided to publish logs then I believe that everyone should be
informed. Ubuntu does this with the ChanServ entrymsg.
