11:29 <siddh> hi, i dont know why but i got logged out of my freedesktop gitlab account and now I can't seem to login. I can't even open profile page, it asks to log in. Is the profile deleted? (Username: siddh)

11:30 <siddh> I had used gitlab oauth to login, and had changed username. Now when I used it to login, it apparently created a new account (?) instead of logging into the existing one...

11:30 <emersion> it seems like it's gone

11:30 <emersion> bentiss: maybe a false positive in your script?

11:58 <bentiss> siddh: 3 possibilities: either you have been banned/removed because of misconduct, either your new usersname was using a keyword from https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freedesktop/helm-gitlab-omnibus/-/blob/master/configs/packet-HA/fdo-approve-users.gotmpl#L10-20, either you did not have any activity in gitlab.fd.o and we disable those accounts automatically (same script) because

11:58 <bentiss> 99% of the time they are spam

11:59 <bentiss> siddh: there is also the possibility of a manual mistake from an admin, but we tend to not do that

12:00 <bentiss> siddh: of course your account might have been legit and the script is a little bit too greedy, but you're the first one to complain since I set this up 7 months ago

12:04 <bentiss> siddh: do you know if your account was still fine in the past 7 days? So I can have a look at the database

13:32 <siddh> bentiss: It wasn't a banned keyword (my irc name here was my username). I could use it 2 days ago.

13:33 <bentiss> siddh: k, let me dig in the backups

14:25 <bentiss> damn, recovering any information in the 174 GB sql dump is going to be hard :/

14:49 <bentiss> siddh: correct me if I'm wrong, but you initially created your account on 2023-01-13 and never had any interaction with freedesktop (comment in an issue, code repository)? If so, then yes, it is expected your account to be considered as "spam". We delete such dormant accounts that are taking space in our db for nothing

14:55 <siddh> bentiss: Oh okayy. I had made a snippet or two, but I guess that doesn't really count. Thanks for checking! And sorry for bothering you...

14:55 <bentiss> siddh: no worries

14:56 <bentiss> siddh: yeah, snippets don't count as "actively contributing to fdo", we do have too many bots dumping their sh*t through a snippet and getting it referrenced by google and others that it brings them money

14:57 <siddh> bentiss: ah i see. basically free seo for scams. Thanks

14:57 <bentiss> yeah, that's is too bad, but yeah
