@Gargron will you commit to writing and publishing a blameless postmortem explaining what happened and what steps are being taken to prevent it from recurring?

@tim @Gargron I agree, I think once things have calmed down a post-mortem would be really helpful to other admins

@tim @Gargron future post mortem: "we allowed open registration so we could be listed in the global onboarding. That was a mistake."

@wagesof @Gargron I think some level of safe open registration is possible. But it probably requires a lot of work. I've seen people today assuming that m.s did none of that work; I think that it's unfair to assume that, because even the best anti-spam defenses can be beaten. Obviously it wasn't *sufficient* though.

@tim @Gargron

Someone got an account and started spamming. What post-mortem are you looking for dude.

@panda @Gargron that is ... not at all what happened. So you're either clueless or an asshole, and either way I want nothing to do with you, goodbye.
