snarfed: do you have ops here and can you make me a channel owner?
#
snarfed
aaronpk: heh i don't know and i don't know
#
snarfed
doesn't really know IRC at all
#
tantek__
aaronpk pm snarfed the commands :)
#
snarfed
afaik kylewm created this channel?
#
aaronpk
oh boy
#
tantek__
that's probably worth a txt message
#
snarfed
what's wrong?
#
aaronpk
the spam
#
aaronpk
ah snarfed you do have ops power here
#
aaronpk
do this: /msg ChanServ op #bridgy Loqi
#
snarfed
huh i'm not seeing spam, here or on chat.indieweb.org
#
aaronpk
i think we've gotten lucky that the spam hasn't hit this channel yet, but we're unprotected here
#
snarfed
chanserv said "Channel irc://chat.freenode.net:7070/#bridgy Loqi is not registered."
#
snarfed
alternatively let's just delete this channel. it's almost zero traffic, doesn't need to exist
#
aaronpk
huh did i do that wrong?
#
tantek__
snarfed what was the original purpose of this channel? I vaguely remember seeing CI test messages for bridgy
#
snarfed
user support i guess? i turned off CI a while ago
#
tantek__
ah, wasn't sure if it was bridgy user support, bridgy dev talk/brainstorming, or both?
#
aaronpk
there is no way to actually delete a channel, but I can at least disable the slack bridge for it, and remove it from our logs
#
snarfed
yeah the former. plenty of other venues for that, let's kill it
#
snarfed
aaronpk: thanks!
#
snarfed
i'll remove it from wiki
#
tantek__
snarfed, I'm ok with that. perhaps redirect folks to #indieweb-dev?
#
tantek__
aaronpk did no spam make it to the logs?
#
snarfed
yeah, probably #indieweb actually
#
aaronpk
i have another spam check that prevents writing any spam to any logs regardless of IRC status
#
aaronpk
!!! FYI all, we're deprecating this channel. Join us in #indieweb and #indieweb-dev instead! !!!
