Comments

Excellent, thanks much — I’ll watch and see |
We’re finding that we can still discover and join, e.g., |
Yep, It needs me to press a button, will ping when done. |
Applied. |
Howdy~ as I understand it, the change that was made in response to this had the effect of preventing any new rooms from being auto-created — which is great — but the other part we were looking for here is to have all the already-existing rooms to be disabled/removed. To be clear, we mean all of the existing rooms with room aliases of the form It’s about 40 rooms in all. If y’all feel we could be trusted with the ability to control/impersonate the I’d be willing to agree ahead of time that any mistakes I made were our own responsibility — but, as far as I understand, that But if it’s preferable not to give over control of the And also for the record here about why we want to remove those portal rooms: We now have native plumbed rooms for all of them — so the portal rooms are now redundant with our native plumbed rooms — and we would prefer that users now use the plumbed rooms rather than the portal rooms. And among the reasons why we prefer that is, we have ownership/Admin control over those native plumbed rooms — including spam-control/moderation capabilities — which we do not have with the portal rooms. And one specific reason that’s important is that we’ve had problems with spammers who seem to be coming in by way of the portal rooms, and so we’d like cut off that additional spam vector. |
The W3C would like for all auto-created “portal rooms” for W3C IRC network to be deactivated.
To be clear, we mean the rooms with aliases of the form
#_w3c_#privacy:matrix.org
.We now are instead using other “plumbed rooms” — native Matrix rooms that we manually bridged to the W3C IRC network.
Those “plumbed rooms” — the ones we created manually and want to keep — all instead have room aliases of the form
#w3c_privacy:matrix.org
