| arraybolt3 | I was wondering, how should I handle situations where I believe I should get an operator's attention, but don't think I need to use the operator trigger? I'm thinking about the channel emergency with Guest459 a week or so ago, where it started with a deep-web link. I considered using the trigger then, but didn't think it was serious enough, and then things went really south and I ended up using the trigger. How should I handle it in the future when | 10:37 |
| arraybolt3 | I think things may be wrong, but also don't want to sound the alarms over it? | 10:37 |
| sarnold | asking in here works, but with much higher latency | 17:59 |
| arraybolt3 | sarnold: So I just say, "Hey, xyz is happening" in here? Makes sense, will do. I'll leave the room for now to comply with the rules - if I misunderstood, feel free to query me. Thank you for your help! | 18:22 |
| arraybolt3 | Hey, guys, I don't know if this is the right channel to report this (though kubuntu-ops doesn't exist, so this is the best I can figure), but #kubuntu has a slight problem. | 21:45 |
| arraybolt3 | There's someone (either one person or several people or bots) who are connecting through IrcsomeBot who are posting seemingly random 4-character codes in IRC every so often. Looks like they post one or three of these codes at a time. Any clue what's happening here, and is there a way to make it stop? | 21:46 |
| arraybolt3 | So far, the users I've seen who are doing this are named wagnerr, K4R7IK_Ku5hw4h4 (sic), and Sylvain. | 21:48 |

| sarnold | I wonder if that bot is useful enough to actually keep around | 21:53 |
| arraybolt3 | sarnold: LOL yeah, I think so, I was hoping there was some way to control spam problems coming in through it. You can't exactly K-line IrcsomeBot... | 21:59 |
| arraybolt3 | (Well, you *can*, but that would probably be a bad idea...) | 21:59 |
| sarnold | well, not *me*, but someone could, if it's annoying enough.. | 21:59 |
| sarnold | as it is it seems like it's probably on the slightly-more-useful side | 21:59 |
| arraybolt3 | Well, for now it's not that bad. If something blows up, I'll pull the ops trigger, otherwise I'll just ignore it. | 22:00 |
| arraybolt3 | Thanks for your help! | 22:00 |
| tomreyn | those codes are a side effect of forcing the users behingd the bridge through a CAPTCHA. | 22:53 |
| sarnold | oh that makes sense | 22:57 |
| sarnold | sounds broken :) but it makes sense.. | 22:57 |
| Unit193 | Also: There's no way as staff I'd kline that. | 23:00 |
