[16:41:13] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jhsoby> 1+1=0 (i.e. banned), for all the IRC users out there
[17:11:32] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <tehreedy> That "共富国际娱乐" account seems to keep joining... Google suggests the translation is "Commonwealth International Entertainment"
[17:28:20] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jhsoby> it's not just one account … : https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/9c33672a/file_13928.jpg
[17:28:31] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jhsoby> Definitely spam, removing now
[17:28:38] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <tehreedy> I'd removed all the recent joiners
[17:28:42] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <tehreedy> Or... so I thought I had
[17:28:43] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <tehreedy> Thanks!
[17:29:23] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jeremy_b> same name joined "Wikimedia general chat" 3x today. if I'm accurately comparing strings. search apparently doesn't match inside join messages so I couldn't just test if it matches. (re @tehreedy: That "共富国际娱乐" account seems to keep joining... Google suggests the translation is "Commonwealth International Entertainment")
[17:29:38] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jhsoby> yeah, i removed all of those as well (re @jeremy_b: same name joined "Wikimedia general chat" 3x today. if I'm accurately comparing strings. search apparently doesn't match inside ...)
[17:30:35] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jeremy_b> yeah I saw them vacuumed off my screen :) (re @jhsoby: yeah, i removed all of those as well)
[17:30:42] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <tehreedy> And we complain about the tools we have onwiki
[17:30:43] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <tehreedy> :P
[17:30:48] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jhsoby> haha
[17:31:00] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <tehreedy> Least in MW we could stop that name joining
[17:31:37] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jeremy_b> would it be better to have a known bad name or just a suspicion? (re @tehreedy: Least in MW we could stop that name joining)
[17:31:39] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jhsoby> T1000000 – Make MediaWiki:Titleblacklist work in Telegram channels
[17:31:43] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jhsoby> /delete@wikilinksbot
[17:31:49] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jeremy_b> willy on wheels
[17:32:08] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jhsoby> that's a blast from the past (re @jeremy_b: willy on wheels)
[17:32:38] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <lucaswerkmeister> I would hope by the time we reach T1000000 it’s not called the Titleblacklist anymore :P (re @jhsoby: T1000000 – Make MediaWiki:Titleblacklist work in Telegram channels)
[17:32:43] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <lucaswerkmeister> /deelete (re @wikilinksbot: T1000000)
[17:32:51] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jhsoby> /delete@wikilinksbot
[17:33:01] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jeremy_b> was Willy on other langs or just English? (re @jhsoby: that's a blast from the past)
[17:33:26] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jhsoby> all over the place. and we had our own version on the norwegian wikipedia, called "rodolero" (re @jeremy_b: was Willy on other langs or just English?)
[17:41:25] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <tehreedy> We almost need to start doing a human captcha when people join
[17:51:37] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jeremy_b> I've mentioned this before but I do wonder if we paint a target on our backs because we have "hack" in the name.
[17:51:38] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jeremy_b> 
[17:51:39] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jeremy_b> i.e. do we get it worse than other open wiki channels?
[17:53:07] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jeremy_b> and also do we attract people that found us because they searched for "hack" but they don't know what "wiki" means and never edited one.
[17:53:44] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <tehreedy> I think a lot of them are just looking for web crawled join links
[17:53:49] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <tehreedy> join the channel. wait a bit. spam
[17:57:06] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jeremy_b> yeah I thought so. but I also thought there was a period when we got more spam than others. and I think even some spam used the word hack.
[17:57:06] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jeremy_b> 
[17:57:08] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jeremy_b> but possible I may be thinking of some channels that are invite only.
[18:00:58] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jeremy_b> otoh if it's just a matter of being on a list then rotate the link should fix a lot
[18:04:01] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <tehreedy> I'm guessing it's $searchengine crawled
[18:04:13] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <tehreedy> but maybe it is on some list... Could be worth rotating to see
[19:30:16] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <revinim> And there we go (re @共富国际娱乐: )
[20:06:25] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <tehreedy> lol
[22:55:42] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <tehreedy> And another
