[15:45] <ENSLAVE_NEGROES> [18:54:47] hello all
[15:45] <jeremyb> [18:54:48] how do i do that?
[15:45] <ENSLAVE_NEGROES> [18:54:50] how was everyones weekend?
[15:45] <jeremyb> [18:55:16] what is the point...?
[15:45] <PeterSymonds> [18:55:21] jeremyb, you didn't; he joined several channels, and somebody typed ! ops
[15:45] <jeremyb> [18:55:37] PeterSymonds: i was referring to fenix2
[15:45] <PeterSymonds> [18:56:11] Heh.
[15:45] <AndrewN> [18:56:46] So we've had teh GNAA, and now we have white supremicists spam WP channels?!?! Interesting. XP
[15:45] <PeterSymonds> [18:57:50] jeremyb, oh sorry, how /do/ you do that, I misread. Basically type ! ops
[15:45] <jeremyb> [18:58:16] yeah i figured. in here too?
[15:45] <PeterSymonds> [18:58:24] AntiSpamMeta relays it here, and pings the people listed as ops for the channel.
[15:45] <PeterSymonds> [18:58:26] Yep, here too.
[15:45] <jeremyb> [18:58:41] right but if i don't want to tell the spammer what i'm doing...
[15:45] <PeterSymonds> [18:59:17] I wouldn't worry about that. 
[15:45] <jeremyb> [18:59:55] well they're doing for a response i assume. was hoping to avoid giving them one they could see
[15:45] <PeterSymonds> [18:59:55] In here it's less of a problem; all the voiced members have ops in here too, so theoretically we're quite well staffed.
[15:45] <jeremyb> [19:00:12] doing it*
[15:45] <PeterSymonds> [19:00:53] Sometimes it's just unavoidable. :-)
[15:45] <jeremyb> [19:01:00] sure

[18:36] <AndrewN> [17:35:54] -tomaw- [Global Notice] We're restarting services to fix some database issues; please remain patient as it will return soon.
[18:36] <AndrewN> That was just sent to -en
[18:37] <AndrewN> For those that missed it
[18:37] <Brownout> it was a global notice, everybody on the network saw it
[18:38] <stwalkerster> Brownout, except those who missed it.
[18:38] <stwalkerster> like me. :P
[18:38] <Brownout> you need better eyeglasses
[18:39] <stwalkerster> I only saw it when Andrew posted that there had been one, I had to go looking for it. For some reason, it only appeared in #wikipedia-en's window.
[18:39] <AndrewN> Yeah
[18:39] <AndrewN> Same here
[18:39] <AndrewN> I think it only got sent to -en, and/or is only getting sent to the major channels
[18:40] <Brownout> no, it was a GLOBAL notice, as I already said
[18:40] <AndrewN> Anyway, advanced notice would have been nice so someone could have op'd in the bussier channels to take care of any rukus that comes along.
[18:40] <stwalkerster> advanced notice that was more than wallops :P
[18:41] <Brownout> notices and wallops may end in silly places, depending on your client
06[18:41] * AndrewN waits for a global notice saying "We broke services..."
[18:41] <stwalkerster> aparently globals end up in a silly place on my client too
[18:41] <Brownout> meanwhile there are already two wmf cloaked users quieted in #freenode for stupid behaviour
[18:41] <AndrewN> o.O
[18:41] <stwalkerster> yeah, JoeGazz84 and dusti, both for /noticing the channel
[18:41] <AndrewN> Oh god
[18:42] <AndrewN> Pardon me for a moment...
[18:42] <Brownout> eh, a vouching system would be nice, you can get a cloak only if two cloaked users vouch for you
[18:42] <AndrewN> I would have vouched for Dusti... lol

[18:57] <AndrewN> ...
[18:57] <marienz> I'd be quite surprised if there was further services downtime in the near future, especially not for quite this long
[18:57] <AndrewN> Eh
[18:57] <slakr> yeah, I mean, the only thing that gave me pause was the false start right before it came back this time
[18:57] <AndrewN> Probably won't be, but just in case, doesn't hurt to be oped.
[18:58] <slakr> just in case they realize, "oh, oops! one more time!"
08[18:58] <derp> AndrewN, canadian eh?
[18:58] <AndrewN> marienz, tell tomaw that next time he should send a notice and not wallops that services is going down. :P
[18:58] <slakr> marienz: I forgot, but on freenode ircops can modehack, right?
[18:58] <AndrewN> derp, No eh? Why you ask eh?
[18:58] <slakr> (i.e., op themselves w/o svcs)
08[18:58] <derp> eh?
[18:58] <marienz> slakr: yes, you can also prod a staffer if anything urgent comes up while services are MIA
[18:58] <slakr> ah ok that's what I thought
[18:58] <AndrewN> Modehack? Do tell me more. lol
[18:58] <AndrewN> jk
[18:59] <marienz> AndrewN: I think we figured that out about 5 seconds after services actually went down :(
[18:59] <AndrewN> XD
[18:59] <marienz> AndrewN: we have an "override" mode that gives us something similar to +o on all channels, without having to go through services (so that still works while they're down)
[18:59] <marienz> AndrewN: obviously we cannot check chanserv access lists while services are down, and are likely to be somewhat swamped at times like this too, though
[18:59] <AndrewN> True, true
[19:00] <marienz> so it only helps for very obvious emergencies
[19:00] <slakr> ah good thinking about the override umode
[19:00] <slakr> helps prevent accidental modehacks
[19:02] <slakr> AndrewN: I say "hack" simply because that's the message that ircu, for example, would throw in a server notice if a server saw a non-ulined user perform an op action despite not appearing opped to that server (thereby indicating a mode desync)
[19:02] <AndrewN> Ahhh
