 emily | wanna do the same to the old offtopic too? | 06:44:14 |
 uep | resent tombstone | 06:44:18 |
| emily | that gets a fair bit of traffic as well | 06:44:20 |
| uep | got a link / room id handy? | 06:44:54 |
| emily | one sec | 06:45:46 |
| emily | lol | 06:46:13 |
| emily | guess what link Element gave me? | 06:46:18 |

| emily | activity seems to have died down though, but for a while we basically had two offtopics | 06:46:48 |
| emily | search continuity is nice though | 06:47:11 |
| uep | Redacted or Malformed Event | 06:49:17 |

| uep | looks like I won't be able to do much there.. I'm not shown as a mod and neither is mjolnir | 06:51:07 |
| emily | no worries | 06:51:22 |

 Zhaofeng Li | interesting, this is new: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/9nDosRQp/old-room-notification.png | 06:54:02 |
| Zhaofeng Li | so spam opportunities would remain if the old rooms weren't restricted | 06:54:43 |
| uep | the spec does suggest the pl change that was apparently done | 06:57:01 |
| uep |
If possible, the power levels in the old room should also be modified to prevent sending of events and inviting new users. For example, setting events_default and invite to the greater of 50 and users_default + 1.

| uep | but in this case it seemingly didn't replicate fully, just like the tombstone itself | 06:57:59 |
| uep | and of course, tombstones are just events that clients have to process | 06:58:15 |
| uep | basically a 302 | 06:58:34 |
| Zhaofeng Li | all glitches in the matrix 🙃 | 06:58:45 |
| Zhaofeng Li | btw it looks like events that violate power restrictions are treated as "soft failures"
https://spec.matrix.org/v1.9/server-server-api/#soft-failure | 06:59:22 |
| Zhaofeng Li | so... DoS opportunities? | 06:59:39 |
