[01:31:36] If you can’t break it, keep trying #chaosengineering [14:15:24] I don't know how we can defend against that though @Doug [14:15:49] Unless there's some code to make @whatever not ping [14:17:51] > I don't know how we can defend against that though @Doug @RhinosF1 Oh, you I guess yeah if he was excessively pinging @CVT for stuff. Mind you, if you type the role preceded by an @, but don't select the role from the navigation popup/dropdown menu, it won't ping [14:18:02] lol well that time it pinged [14:18:11] I blocked role mentions (inc everyone and here) explicity but can't see a username option [14:18:22] You can ping just typing @ and the name [14:18:36] Relay bot can't ping roles though now [14:18:42] In #cvt-feed [14:18:43] Hrm, I don't like that. [14:18:48] Can in other places [14:18:55] Why not restrict role pings to his user group? [14:19:35] What's unserious got to do with it? [14:19:53] well you could set the permissions for that group not to be able to ping, no? [14:20:25] Not for usernames [14:20:39] I have a need to sometimes ping @CVT or @Stewards in this channel. Users who don't abuse it shouldn't be restricted. [14:20:42] You can for roles but this is about @Miraheze-IRC in #cvt-feed via SigmaBot [14:20:54] You can ping cvt in here [14:20:57] oh [14:21:11] Just not via the @Relay bot in #cvt-feed [14:21:16] I thought you said you blocked it for everyone here (https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/443926951292567562/764854364896100362) [14:21:16] [ Discord ] - discord.com [14:21:36] No, read the lines after [14:22:14] Unnecessary pings.... [14:22:23] @RhinosF1 Ah, okay, thanks. That makes sense. So Relay-bot will still ping users on IRC, but not role groups? [14:22:37] It won't ping roles in #cvt-feed [14:22:44] Anywhere else is unaffected [14:22:48] > Unnecessary pings.... @MrJaroslavik (OFF) Was just a test/experimentation. Apologies for the ping [14:23:27] > It won't ping roles in #cvt-feed @RhinosF1 Oh okay, that seems fine then [14:27:59] We can't stop pinging users though unless I can find a way to block pings to users [14:28:30] Not possible [14:28:46] Only via revoke of "Send messages" permission. [14:29:10] Oh, you talking about it via relay? [14:29:11] Sorry [14:29:13] 😆 [14:29:17] Yeah [14:29:33] I was hoping there'd be some not ping code you could use [14:30:30] Like a no formatting option [20:19:44] @CVT Obvious spam only account https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth:Cheap_erectile_dysfunction_pills_online [20:19:46] [ No such special page - Miraheze Meta ] - meta.miraheze.org [20:43:45] <(h~)Hookuai> Oh boy @Doug, woth spambots e_e [20:47:35] Can @CVT also whack https://meta.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Special:AbuseLog&wpSearchUser=RosellaSchlenker [20:47:36] [ Abuse filter log - Miraheze Meta ] - meta.miraheze.org [20:50:12] blocked someone can lock a and then find their range and gblock it [20:50:13] > Oh boy @Doug, woth spambots e_e @(h~)Hookuai what does woth mean? And yeah, spambots are low priority to lock in that the abuse filters stop them, but locking them does serve a couple useful purposes, namely that they stop the spamming of the abuse logs but, more importantly, it makes it easier for stewards to check them and then they can rangeblock the account IPs [20:50:37] <(h~)Hookuai> @Doug i was saying with [20:50:50] > blocked someone can lock a and then find their range and gblock it @RhinosF1 I've done that a couple times on Meta yeah, temporarily, until CVT can lock [20:51:33] > @Doug i was saying with @(h~)Hookuai oh ok, cool, but I don't get it "oh boy Doug, with spambots". what do you mean? [20:51:39] can you clarify that just a bit? [20:52:51] Void's coming by with the 🔨 🙂 [20:52:59] <(h~)Hookuai> Like it's just spambot creatuess raiding the wikis. [20:54:12] > Like it's just spambot creatures raiding the wikis like how roaches go to houses. @(h~)Hookuai oh ok lol yeah [20:54:33] yeah I think of spambots as the mosquitoes of wikis, but cockroaches works too [20:55:43] <(h~)Hookuai> Aaand how global sysadmins and stewards use bug spray on spambots. [21:00:45] @Hookuai yep :)
