 @grahamc:nixos.org | Mjolnir has protections to avoid a type of spam that has been common in other spaces, where someone joins and immediately posts graphic images. That protection was enabled, but is now turned off:
Available protections:
🔴 (disabled) FirstMessageIsImageProtection - If the first thing a user does after joining is to post an image or video, they'll be banned for spam. This does not publish the ban to any of your ban lists.
🟢 (enabled) BasicFloodingProtection - If a user posts more than 10 messages in 60s they'll be banned for spam. This does not publish the ban to any of your ban lists.
🔴 (disabled) WordList - If a user posts a monitored word a set amount of time after joining, they will be banned from that room. This will not publish the ban to a ban list.
🔴 (disabled) MessageIsVoiceProtection - If a user posts a voice message, that message will be redacted. No bans are issued.
🔴 (disabled) MessageIsMediaProtection - If a user posts an image or video, that message will be redacted. No bans are issued.

| @grahamc:nixos.org | it looks like Mjolnir could be smarter about this, by recognizing participation in other rooms of a space as counting as activity. | 21:56:19 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | there was a follow-up issue where after I unbanned both of you from the infrastructure room mjolnir continued redacting your messages, which I'll also report upstream | 21:57:10 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | 'course, Mjolnir's maintainers are not quick to respond to PRs, so it may be a while before we can re-enable those, so I'll leave them off until we see problems | 21:59:00 |

| @grahamc:nixos.org | hexa: I guess I should turn off the flood protection one as well? | 00:51:44 |

| @grahamc:nixos.org | I just disabled BasicFloodingProtection too, so there are no other protections. | 01:13:30 |

 Emil Thorsøe | imo would make sense for there to be tension level, like bot should be more strict, when there seems to more likelyhood of a distributed spam attack | 06:17:59 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | sounds useful, maybe you could write something up and send them an issue | 14:30:16 |

| @edrex:matrix.org | I'd like to suggest #devos:nixos.org be included in the NixOS space, or maybe the Community subspace. | 22:50:21 |
