08:33 <bentiss> OK, so that's interesting. I managed to find trace the last spam I detected.... and I am convinced it was all done manually. Looking at all the requests, there is nothing that distinguishes this user from any other

08:35 <bentiss> and also I doubt it's a bot because it started to register at 08:44:31 and ended sending the 2 issues at 08:54:19 with a reasonable time between all requests

08:35 <bentiss> the first link he clicked also was the freedesktop wiki, so I guess a human after all

09:20 <MrCooper> maybe clickworkers?

09:32 <bentiss> yeah, I'm afraid so

09:47 <mupuf> yeah, quite likely

09:47 <mupuf> the name of the accounts was also indicative of someone typing on a keyboard

11:25 <sydney> Hello everybody, i have been noticed via email that my freedesktop gitlab-account has been deactivated, with no further explanation. If i were to think that this is an error, i shall "contact my Gitlab Administrator", the mail further says. Can somebody help me understand whats going on?

11:48 <daniels> sydney: sorry for the message in error, just sign in again and everything will work as normal

11:48 <daniels> sydney: when did that mail arrive?

11:55 <sydney> daniels: i tried that already.. unfortunately, i can't remember my password and the pw reset function doesnt appear to find my email address in the db. the mail is from 25th february..

11:56 <sydney> daniels: perhaps the account just got deactivated due to inactivity, just wanted to make sure..

12:04 <mupuf> daniels: that's the second email from the 25th of feb
