pleia2need to disable memberships to ~ubuntu-california temporarily, spammers are using it as a back door for spamming wiki.ubuntu.com19:16
pleia212:13:54 < pleia2> popey: I think we should disable the approved locos as members of the pad19:16
pleia212:14:11 < pleia2> making our team closed makes me very uncomfortable (it's unwelcoming, we don't have criteria for inclusion, etc19:16
pleia2ianorlyn, nhaines - so be aware, and don't auto-approve new members :)19:24
MarkDudepleia2: you have to do what you have to do. The group needs to be protected, and you are doing so :)19:27
MarkDudeHopefully a solution comes to light, but erring on the side of saving folks hassles is the right way to go, IMO19:28
pleia2the only thing we use the team for is collaborating on the team flyers and cd sleeves, so I'm not too worried that people are being disrupted by a temporary pause in membership :)19:29
MarkDudeYep, but your inner Penguin defaults to open, the Force is strong with this one :D19:32
pleia2indeed, we'll re-open as soon as possible :)19:33
nhainespleia2: the recent uptick in join requests to ~locoteams-verified makes more sense now.  Although I'm pretty sure most of them are legitimately invalid requests.21:28
nhainesAs far as ~ubuntu-california,  very prominently on record that ~ubuntu-california should be moderated or delgated and basically no one should be a member and we shouldn't use it for anything except translations and code hosting, neither of which apply to us.  :)21:32
lynorianwow so much email from like a rash of users wanting to join of people I have never seen before21:34
lynorianwas that spam?21:34
nhainesYes.  They're using it to get edit rights on wiki.ubuntu.com for spamming purposes.21:36
nhainesBut not anymore!  (Thanks, pleia2).21:37
nhainesTo repeat what I said just 6 minutes ago:21:37

nhaines(Sorry for the double ping, Lyz.)21:38
lynorianok now this makes so much more sense21:45
nhainesYup, and I got all those emails twice because they tried to join ~locoteams-verified too.21:51
