Hello all,
We have a serious problem with spam in Matrix. I don't want to really put here the nature of said spam because it's very much disgusting and am afraid that it goes against some rules of pagure.
But basically, what I suggest is that Fedora sets up a group of moderators that can catch those and delete/ban the offenders. A group of moderators that is governed/led by the infra team, and can be notified when bad stuff happens. If possible, a group of people that spans different timezones.
With Fedora trying to use their Matrix platform as their main platform, having that kinda stuff sitting in their main channel for hours looks really bad.
I agree we should add more moderators, but... I nuked some of that seconds after it was posted and the delete didn't federate right. ;(
We also need to setup an admin bot, which is on my list.

Yeah I offered it to Nirik, but I would be happy to help with this. But this does also sometimes happen when I'm asleep.

We have added some more moderators. The channel is still possibly acting weird however.
The room is still in a weird state, but I don't know how to fix it. I guess it's up to ems to do so or tell us whats wrong with it.
I do have a email/ticket in with them to do that.
I also plan an admin bot, but haven't gotten to it yet. It would help somewhat with this as well.
In the mean time, hopefully adding more mods in different timezones will help out here.
I am going to close this now, but let us know if there's any further actions we can take.
