04:07 <Juest> hi, hopefully someone is looking after verifications at this time

04:07 <Juest> its not urgent anyway i can wait but would appreciate an ack :)

04:07 <Juest> looking forward to positively contribute

04:34 <Juest> hmm, what does qualify as a successful automated verification? what the bot says about it is the whole reason why?

04:37 <whot> Juest: basically it's expected to contribute to a specific project on fdo already, we aren't (cannot be) a generic hosting instance like gitlab.com because we don't have the resources

04:37 <whot> we used to be, it was abused, now we have to lock down a bit

04:38 <Juest> i can understand that whot. i am not intending to misuse this as a generic project service

08:21 <eric_engestrom> whot: re- two-step spam hide & purge, I see, that makes sense; thanks!

16:38 <zmike> I really love how the gitlab jobs viewer doesn't let you filter by name, only by status

22:25 <Lyude> whot: uh, if people can't create accounts who don't contribute to projects how are they supposed to be able to file issues?

22:26 <Lyude> JFYI too - I just got pinged about this in another channel, that is definitely a real person lol

22:31 <Lyude> So like in the future: if something like that happens where someone's asking for CI access but doesn't have a project in mind, it's fine for us to just reject the request and leave their username active - then they can just file a request once they do have a project idea in mind. We shouldn't be removing people's accounts entirely for making a mistake like that tbh.

22:34 <Lyude> (and have provided proof of contributing of course)

23:07 <whot> Lyude: you can still file issues, the only thing you can't do as external user is fork repos and created your own repos

23:07 <Lyude> whot: hm, were you the one who put the chanserv ban in place then?

23:08 <Lyude> (totally fine if it was, I'm just curious how it happened)

23:08 <whot> no, that was at 00:45 my time when I was, possibly blissfully, asleep

23:08 <Lyude> Huh.

23:08 <Lyude> ok - yeah, the reason I mentioned it was because after they asked in here they immediately got banned on irc lol

23:08 <whot> ftr, I don't touch anything except spam and I don't think I have rights to quietn anyone here

23:08 <Lyude> strange

23:09 <Lyude> (their account on gitlab also but banned, though I think we figured out that was because they forgot to hit the X for "I'm not a spammer" in time)

23:10 <whot> ping the coc committe please

23:11 <dwfreed> you do have quiet access

23:11 <dwfreed> I'd have to look at DB logs to see who set it, as it's been deleted

23:11 <whot> dwfreed: TIL :)

23:13 <whot> Lyude: fwiw we also don't close user accounts if they're not approved unless they're spammers

23:13 <whot> like you have to be posting obvious spam somewhere to get deleted

23:13 <Lyude> yeah - I looked at the gitlab history and it looks like it was the conduct bot

23:14 <Lyude> it wasn't closed though, just blocked

23:15 <whot> iirc there's no such thing as "closed", there's blocked and deleted

23:15 <whot> i think there's also deactivation but I'm not sure on the details on that

23:16 <dwfreed> guessing they meant deleted when they said closed

23:16 <whot> yeah, I doublt we're disagreeing on anything anyway, but closed often has other meanings so easier to stick to the official terms to avoid confusion

23:17 <whot> same as an "approved" user is just external: false in gitlab

23:17 <whot> ok, I gotta go, everyone here is waiting for me
