LjLnalioth: besides that - i see in the log that it was mudkip again, only this time with mudk1p as nick... did his bots join -unregged?01:27
LjLi had forwarded mu*kip* to -unregged to see if he would be so kind to give us advance notice, this time01:27
naliothno, he completely bypassed your bans01:28
Tm_TAww.01:29
LjLhm weird though01:29
LjLthe first attack, he joined as mudkip01:29
LjLthen, that was banned, and yesterday he joined as muudkip01:29
LjLi was convinced that he would try with the previous name, first01:29
LjLor perhaps muuudkip (but that would have been forwarded to -unregged too)01:30

Seveasso... bots throttle :)11:20
Seveas+J isn't useful...11:20
Seveaswell well, they even detect +m...11:21
naliothapokryphos: they've been klined11:21
apokryphosnot all yet11:21
nalioththey will be11:22
apokryphosSeveas: shall we -m since +R is on? I don't think the bots are registered.11:22
apokryphosah, already done11:22
Seveasnalioth, what is chii and why is there a bot with ops in #ubuntu ????11:23
naliothSeveas: chii is a network bot thing11:24
naliothlet it have ops, it's whacking trolls11:24
Seveasnalioth, I don'y like it *at all* if such things are done without discussion11:25
naliothSeveas: you see #ubuntu "why" it was opped11:25
Seveasyes, now11:26
Seveasbut discussion should happen prior to doing such things11:26

Seveas<nalioth> take that up with bearperson11:27
BearPersonchii is our bot, it hangs out in a plethora of channels and mostly just watches various things for us11:28
BearPersonit occasionally K-lines11:28
BearPersonI opped it to make it get the spam and be able to react to it11:28
apokryphosSeveas: I see no problem with any _Freenode_ bot being opped if it helps directly11:30
BearPersonI suggest you set #ubuntu +r for now, to get the bots siphoned off into -unregged for now11:30
BearPersonchii has been in the channel for ages, btw11:30
BearPersonsorry if I stepped on any toes by opping it11:31
Seveasapokryphos, the problem is doing such things without notice. We (apart from nalioth) didn't know what the bot was for. Until I /whois'ed itI wasn't sure whether it was malicious or not11:31
BearPersonI don't think it is even capable of using being chanopped in any way11:31
Seveasand I *hate* bots that kick people11:32
BearPersonit will do nothing of the sort11:32
BearPersonit can kline11:32
BearPersonif it wanted to kick, it could do so without being opped11:32
apokryphosthere's nothing wrong with it IMO if the kick/ban is legitimate11:32
apokryphosI think a warning might've been nice, but still... doing a quick /whois to find out isn't so bad11:32
BearPersonthe only reason I opped it is so it could see +z messages11:32
naliothSeveas: bearperson opped it so it could pick up +z spam11:32
BearPersonit will not, I repeat, it will not kick people or set channel bans11:33
naliothit just klines trolls and Trolls11:33
SeveasBearPerson, if staff can do everything without being opped, maybe they should also be able to see everything so +z isn't needed :)11:33
BearPersonI'll mark that as a feature request ;)11:33
apokryphosBearPerson: just a note that we really appreciate the staffers help out in such things, honestly :)11:34
SeveasBearPerson, then also please file the '+z on +R does not work thing' as a bug11:34
apokryphosit's really grea to know that people are on the case11:34
BearPersonwill do11:34
Seveasbtw: does freenode have a public bug/feature tracker?11:35
apokryphos*great11:35
BearPersonnot right now, but I'm working on getting us one11:35
BearPersonthe bots appear to have left for now, btw, maybe you can go -R+r for a bit11:35
apokryphosnot that many joins, is +r necessary?11:36
Seveaswhy +r if the bots left?11:36
BearPersonin case they come back sometime soon11:36
BearPersonbut yeah, maybe plain -R will work11:36
Seveas-R and paying attention :)11:36
apokryphosSeveas: one character out :P11:36
=== mode/#ubuntu-ops [+v hybrid] by ChanServ
apokryphosthe bots definitely take notice of our channel modes though11:39
apokryphosin the past few days, all the bot attacks were of exactly 5 bots11:39
apokryphos...when #ubuntu was on +J 2,511:40
BearPersontry setting +J 2,2 then11:40
apokryphosok, will see how that goes11:40
BearPersonwe can probably assume that the bot runner reads everything we say11:40
nalioththere is a spy in the channel11:40
BearPersonprobably11:41
naliothundoubtedly11:41
BearPersonthere will also be at least one guy watching the channel for a bit before the bots join, maybe hanging out there permanently11:41
apokryphosthis used to be a closed channel but we decided the general greater good was to open it up11:41
BearPersonincoming...11:41
Seveasi figured as much :)11:41
Seveasopening up is good11:42
apokryphosoh, and when it was on +J, 5 bots exactly joined and then no more got into -unregged. So they probably read the channel mode and specifically don't follow channel redirects (if that's possible)11:42
apokryphosSeveas: indeed11:42
Seveasbut kicking out people we don't know is just as good11:42
Seveasuntil they introduce themselves11:42
BearPerson-unregged was +i at some point too, though11:42
apokryphosyeah, for one of the attacks, unfortunately11:42
BearPersonidentify as what?11:42
apokryphosit was taken off soon-ish enough though11:42
SeveasI'm going to do some kicking now. If you are kicked and want to come back, please introduce yourself when you do so11:43

jendaSeveas: never mind, I read the backlog.12:05
MinatakuThis is why I've never been one for Freenode's recommendation to hide status, it adds extra time to the response to incidents12:05
jendait shouldn't, if done right.12:06
Minatakujenda: There's an extra step, so by sheer logic there's additional delay12:06
jendawhen automated, the time is negligeable.12:07
MinatakuIndeed, but what about the event that services are down?12:07
jendathen, we're boned :)12:07
MinatakuSee?12:08
apokryphosnalioth: can be an item for discussion at the meeting12:08
MinatakuIf you're affiliated with a project, donate or asked, your IP is hidden, which shields you from direct attacks12:08
apokryphosnalioth: again I think this might be partly down to the question of loco team ops12:08
MinatakuPeople really shouldn't be sending ops PMs anyway unless they explictly don't mind12:09
