there’s a lot to unpack there, even beyond the creep with the sockpuppets.

meaning always because you can’t know in advance. which would help explain the quotes, because it is a really odd statement.
- pushcx 3y agoNo. When I ban sockpuppets I excerpt and save relevant logs from their abuse. Older material is discarded by logrotate: https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters-ansible/blob/a9beccc57329702f41492d7940a8fff5b56d337c/roles/sysadm/files/logrotate.conf#L9 https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters-ansible/blob/a9beccc573... I save these logs because people who sockpuppet and get banned often try to sneak back on under other names. Some odd quirk of the psychology. I realize saving all logs indefinitely might help in spotting them, but the marginal improvement in accuracy isn’t worth the significantly increased potential for loss in a data breach.
