| imnichol | Hey, anything I can do to help with this spamming issue on help.ubuntu.com? | 16:57 |
|---|---|---|
| pleia2 | imnichol: thanks for reporting it, I hadn't seen it | 18:25 |
| pleia2 | I'll submit a ticket with IS to see if there's anything they can do to clean it up | 18:26 |
| pleia2 | ok, submitted ticket 27950 and responded on list | 18:34 |
| pleia2 | there are thousands of pages x_x | 18:34 |
| imnichol | Yeah :( | 18:39 |
| imnichol | Some of the accounts actually map to launchpad accts too | 18:39 |
| pleia2 | can see here http://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecentChanges | 18:39 |
| pleia2 | I get notifications of changes, it started on the 23rd | 18:39 |
| imnichol | Must have a few thousand emails huh | 18:40 |
| pleia2 | yep | 18:40 |
| imnichol | I suspect that the date that it started is not an accident | 18:40 |
| pleia2 | ~4,400 emails | 18:41 |
| imnichol | Ouch | 18:41 |
| pleia2 | they go into a folder, I didn't notice | 18:41 |
| pleia2 | I usually browse through the folder every couple of weeks to make sure there aren't wiki wars or something going on | 18:41 |
| imnichol | I wonder if IS can just ip ban the offenders | 18:42 |
| pleia2 | that's my hope, not sure what to do about new accounts being created though | 18:43 |
| imnichol | Or their netblock | 18:43 |
| imnichol | Could require that accounts be manually approved by an admin if they're created from that netblock | 18:43 |
| imnichol | Dont know if moinmoin has that capability | 18:43 |
| pleia2 | yeah, they have logs so they can figure out what makes the most sense | 18:43 |
| imnichol | Well, if the solution requires any manual work, I'm available | 18:44 |
| pleia2 | thanks for that :) | 18:44 |
| imnichol | My IRL job has a log review component | 18:44 |
| imnichol | So I'm used to mindless painful stuff like that :D | 18:45 |
| pleia2 | me too, what do you do? | 18:45 |
| imnichol | Infosec | 18:45 |
| * pleia2 nods | 18:46 | |
| imnichol | IIRC you're an admin right? | 18:46 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 18:46 |
| imnichol | I think I've done a few weekly news things about you ;) | 18:46 |
| pleia2 | sysadmin on the openstack project, so all that work is open source too | 18:46 |
| imnichol | Yeah that's it. That's really cool | 18:47 |
| pleia2 | makes it good for writing about :D | 18:47 |
| imnichol | I'm super jelly | 18:47 |
| pleia2 | I enjoy it a lot | 18:47 |
| imnichol | I imagine. I'll keep my security stuff though | 18:48 |
| imnichol | I'm more of a "break stuff" than "build stuff" kind of person | 18:49 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 19:01 |
