[15:32] <heftig> how much spam or other abusive behavior from unregistered users do you get in #ubuntu?
[15:35] <heftig> #archlinux currently uses +r, and I would like to argue for its removal as it's a prerequisite for getting the channel bridged to matrix
[16:48] <hggdh> heftig: currently not much; we went back to -r some weeks ago, and it is, so far, manageable
[16:53] <heftig> hggdh: does the join limit help?
[16:57] <hggdh> heftig: I think so; usually clustered joins (unfortunately) tend to happen on SPAM attacks, so you have a chance of minimising effects and reacting. I do not have stats, though
[17:07] <heftig> thanks
[17:59] <ZarroBoogs> FYI, something going on with linode Newark, ubottu might be down.
