[16:57] <imnichol> Hey, anything I can do to help with this spamming issue on help.ubuntu.com?
[18:25] <pleia2> imnichol: thanks for reporting it, I hadn't seen it
[18:26] <pleia2> I'll submit a ticket with IS to see if there's anything they can do to clean it up
[18:34] <pleia2> ok, submitted ticket 27950 and responded on list
[18:34] <pleia2> there are thousands of pages x_x
[18:39] <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
[18:40] <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
[18:41] <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
[18:42] <imnichol> I wonder if IS can just ip ban the offenders
[18:43] <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
[18:44] <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
[18:45] <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
[18:46]  * 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
[18:47] <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
[18:48] <imnichol> I imagine.  I'll keep my security stuff though
[18:49] <imnichol> I'm more of a "break stuff" than "build stuff" kind of person
[19:01] <pleia2> hehe
