 Cat | But yes spamming and running into softfailure is indeed a strategy that is employed. | 07:01:41 |
 uep | it came up in the context of the mod bot banning users as well as issuing redacts for image spam etc. If it bans too quickly, its homeserver doesn't send it more events from the banned user, and so the bot never sends redactions to delete some of the images because it never sees them. | 07:02:05 |
| uep | there's some additional integration it can have with the server to get reports of these soft failures and redact those too | 07:02:34 |
| Cat | oh ye thats a known problem. | 07:02:51 |
| Cat | And sadly the whole problem sucks. | 07:02:58 |
| uep | just basic dist sys race condition things | 07:03:06 |
| Cat | Tho soft failure access for the moderation bots is probably going to be made official in Synapse. | 07:03:33 |

get reports of these soft failures and redact those too
interesting, but redacting will still take up storage, right?
