intosi: online ?

Kev: online ?

vasuta: Please stop randomly pinging people.

Would be appreciated if you did.

also, I think that’s the same person who tried to convince people in prosody@ to help them extract a user list of xmpp.jp users with illegitimate means

I have one question

Illegitimate means ?

sending metasploit-pro against a service without authorisation is quite illegitimate.

It's xmpp community I have question about xmpp I don't interest hacking and illegal activity

jonas’: you can buy metasplooit-pro from rapid7 It's legal

intosi: you can help me ?

just because you can buy something, doesn’t mean it’s legal to use under any or all circumstances ✏

^5 !XSF_Martin

You can legally buy a knife but using it on people is still illegal, so if it is legal to buy it it doesn't mean every usage is legal. ✏

😃

gentlemen don't go to extremes

you can legally buy (or build on your own) an amateur radio rig, but you’re not allowed to use it without a separate license.

!XSF_Martin, jonas’: you many flood only

People gather in this particular chatroom to work on, improve and promote the XMPP protocol. It is reasonable to expect people in here not being to happy with people that abuse the protocol - legally or illegally.

Quite.

Guus: I didn't find anyone's rights. I have no intention of harming anyone

Good.

Who can help me with my question about xmpp ?

Considering you haven't even asked your question, how can we know?

Oh sorry I want get register_users from xmpp.jp How i can make this ?

fun

It Is Not Possible.

Can we skip the discussion and go right to the banning?

yeah, sounds like a plan

Looks like we can.

magic

yeah

Interestingly, they were under the impression that things like these aren't illegitimate. ✏

we had a fun iteration of that yesterday evening in prosody@

for certain values of "fun", eh?

I did enjoy it

when I stopped enjoying it, I left :)

🤐

The same nickname was active in jdev just now. Might want to do a pre-emptive ban there, intosi ?

Should we preemptively adopt/adapt that blocklist propgataion thing Matrix has?

Maybe. That same user was banned I think almost a week ago in the Conversations channel

A for effort though.

There's also the age-old wisdom of "don't feed the trolls"

I'm still here so that doesn't work Zash 😉

Troll feeding time?

Happy feasting.

I’m hungry, but I don’t like fish.

You're not a troll then.

@Guus: maybe, yeah.

Or the fish is cooked.

So much for serious people just trying to do their work ;-)

who said that?
