[15:15:05] <dmehus>	 just commenting to note that ^ has now been reported on SR by PB2008
[15:15:34] <Zppix>	 Thats who sent it here Doug.
[15:20:15] <dmehus>	 ah, Zppix, thanks, sorry still getting used to Discord names
[16:29:24] <MirahezeRelay>	 <elisapoly> We are getting hit by Russian IPs, possible the same vandal from notbylie wiki
[16:31:38] <MirahezeRelay>	 <darkfawfulguy64, replying to elisapoly> I've been noticing that for quite some time now.
[16:33:21] <MirahezeRelay>	 <darkfawfulguy64> I highly think the Steward requests pages in general should be protected so only logged-in users can edit.
[16:40:29] <MirahezeRelay>	 <darkfawfulguy64> Think about it: The rapid disruption coming from those IP editors that vandalized multiple Steward requests pages alongside the Community portal made me think that it would be best that they receive protection from anonymous editors, but that's just me saying it.
[16:41:43] <MirahezeRelay>	 <thewwrnerdguy> nah there's still value in having anons being able to edit
[16:42:08] <MirahezeRelay>	 <thewwrnerdguy> unless the page is completely one where there's no realistic use case e.g. restricted changes
[16:42:27] <MirahezeRelay>	 <thewwrnerdguy> maybe SR/P?
[16:42:58] <MirahezeRelay>	 <darkfawfulguy64, replying to thewwrnerdguy> Yeah, those should be protected, given the sudden spike of IP vandalism recently.
[16:43:48] <MirahezeRelay>	 <thewwrnerdguy> I think you could probably do some abusefilter stuff for ip vandalism
[16:44:01] <MirahezeRelay>	 <thewwrnerdguy> this was tali's expertise 😭
[16:44:20] <Crystalite13>	 a moment of silence for the solider
[16:54:49] <MirahezeRelay>	 <sleepingelephant312, replying to darkfawfulguy64> i looked at your account bio
[16:54:56] <MirahezeRelay>	 <sleepingelephant312> i see you firing shots at kirby
[16:58:00] <MirahezeRelay>	 <darkfawfulguy64> What are you talking about?
[16:58:30] <MirahezeRelay>	 <darkfawfulguy64, replying to sleepingelephant312> What are you talking about? What do you mean by "firing shots at Kirby"?
[16:58:48] <MirahezeRelay>	 <sleepingelephant312> the blue pfp person from the wo server
[16:58:54] <MirahezeRelay>	 <sleepingelephant312> who got banned a bit ago
[16:59:48] <MirahezeRelay>	 <sleepingelephant312> the second paragraph comes off as a roast, considering kirby said the same thing
[17:00:40] <MirahezeRelay>	 <darkfawfulguy64> What does that got to do with this, though?
[17:00:54] <Zppix>	 I am also capable of doing rudamentary AF's but I'm going to leave it to Stewards/Ass. Stewards on if they wanna do that vs some form of protection levels
[17:01:10] <MirahezeRelay>	 <sleepingelephant312, replying to darkfawfulguy64> you seemingly changed your bio recently
[17:01:16] <Zppix>	 (While I have the technical ability to do it on my own, it is the steward's space.)
[17:01:52] <MirahezeRelay>	 <darkfawfulguy64, replying to sleepingelephant312> Oh, are you referring to what I recently changed on my user page from WikiOasis Meta?
[17:02:01] <MirahezeRelay>	 <sleepingelephant312, replying to darkfawfulguy64> discord bio
[17:02:25] <MirahezeRelay>	 <sleepingelephant312, replying to Zppix> is the staff chat being copy/pasted here? what is this?
[17:02:46] <MirahezeRelay>	 <zppix> It's our IRC chat that is relayed to discord.
[17:02:55] <MirahezeRelay>	 <zppix> [[IRC]]
[17:02:55] <wm-bot>	 https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/IRC
[17:02:55] <MirahezeRelay>	 <Wiki-Bot#2998> <https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/IRC>
[17:03:59] <MirahezeRelay>	 <darkfawfulguy64> To add to what Zppix has said, the IRC chat logs are often saved, but I can't remember how they do so, as it's been too long.
[17:04:41] <Zppix>	 our IRC chat logs (and stuff that is relayed to IRC) is saved by our friendly neighborhood WM-Bot.  https://wm-bot.wmcloud.org/browser/index.php?display=%23miraheze-cvt
[21:10:42] <MirahezeRelay>	 <raidarr> I think I'm leaning towards making meta a logged in affair since the primary audience is users who are operating wikis and by proxy IPs are a) hard to consistently identify as users even when we get temporary accounts and b) have extremely little utility on meta outside some select login issues or whatnot
[21:11:19] <MirahezeRelay>	 <raidarr> and it seems about as often as there is a legitimate IP-exclusive inquiry, there is a user who loses their login session that needs suppressing
[21:20:03] <MirahezeRelay>	 <sakurababochka> Possibly then if that does pass, a few pages which still allow IP editing for those users to ask those questions?
[21:21:24] <MirahezeRelay>	 <sakurababochka> I don't know what kind of questions IP editors need to ask though, so that might not make sense.
[21:25:43] <MirahezeRelay>	 <raidarr> I think it would depend on identifying what strong cause there is to inquire or comment without an account and how to meet those needs
[21:26:04] <MirahezeRelay>	 <raidarr> a lot is covered by email + chat platforms
[23:10:36] <MirahezeRelay>	 <zppix, replying to raidarr> Worse case, we could leave like the main SN page's talk page open to Anon, and protect the actual SN pages to logged in only.
[23:41:24] <dmehus>	 Yeah, I think protecting the noticeboards at logged in users only is a sensible idea, tbqh.
[23:42:27] <dmehus>	 We could add an anonymous users only editnotice (if we don't still have one) instructing them to [[Special:UserLogin|login]] or e-mail stewards{{@}}miraheze.org if otherwise unable
[23:42:27] <wm-bot>	 https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:%40 https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:UserLogin
[23:56:26] <MirahezeRelay>	 <dmehus, replying to raidarr> I'd start with the noticeboards, community portal, and help desk, as those those seem to be the areas where the problem is worst.
