    Are the admins of chatterboxtown.us in here? There's a user that keeps creating new accounts on your server just to join a MUC and insult people.

  2. sunglocto (sunglocto.net)

    notified them in their public MUC.

  3. マリウス

    thank you kindly

    > notified them in their public MUC. They really should join this MUC... ↺

    It appears that now the troll has moved to `yax.im`. I had e.g. `000nig3gers_online@yax.im` joining, which I preemptively banned as I do not believe this to be a legitimate account.

  6. icebound.dev

    Might be best to set your channel to moderated, I haven't seen any raids on the MUCs I am in yet.

  7. マリウス

    icebound.dev: Moderated as in only people with voice can communicate?

    > icebound.dev: Moderated as in only people with voice can communicate? only members yes ↺

  9. icebound.dev

    any newcomers will not be able to speak, leave it for 24 hours and then remove it once the troll has lost steam

  10. icebound.dev

    Sorry I think the correct term is "participant" and "visitor"

  11. マリウス

    icebound.dev: wait, so I would need to `ejabberdctl set_room_affiliation` all existing participants to the role `member` first?

  12. icebound.dev

    > icebound.dev: wait, so I would need to `ejabberdctl set_room_affiliation` all existing participants to the role `member` first? you can do this from your client lol ↺

  13. icebound.dev

    _or should be able to do it from your client_

  14. マリウス

    true, profanity does have /affiliation to do so

  15. マリウス

    but basically that's the procedure, correct? Set all existing people as `member` and then set the room to moderated

  16. icebound.dev

    > but basically that's the procedure, correct? Set all existing people as `member` and then set the room to moderated member/participant and yeah ↺

  17. icebound.dev

    then people will join as visitor, and will need to request permission to talk

  18. icebound.dev

    if you like I can test it for you if you PM me the MUC (admin@icebound.dev) once you are done

  19. マリウス

    thank you kindly, allow me a few minutes to configure/test, but then I'd be happy for you to do so. Will reach out.

  20. マリウス

    icebound.dev: I believe it works and it was just tested by someone who might be the troll, so no need for you to test, heh, but I appreciate the help here. Thank you for the suggestion!
