[07:08] <Mikaela> Hi, when I login to Launchpad and get the page asking you to give full name and email address to Launchpad, it's showing my old name and email address. Where can I change it? I have already changed it at launchpad.net, but that doesn't seem to affect it.
[07:09] <Peng_> That's part of the OpenID service.
[07:10] <Mikaela> Where do I change the name which it shows?
[07:10] <tsimpson> login at https://login.ubuntu.com/
[07:10] <Peng_> tsimpson: you saved me from admitting I didn't know \o/
[07:11] <Mikaela> Thanks :)
[07:15] <Mikaela> Yes, the name is correct now. Thank you for your help :)
[12:00] <mgz> https://launchpad.net/mosquitto has ~registry as the bug supervisor, can we change that?
[12:03] <wgrant> mgz: That's not a problem.
[12:03] <wgrant> mgz: The single piece of bugmail was being generated when the team was deleted, so it ended up being directed to ~registry.
[12:04] <wgrant> The subscription was deleted as part of the merge, but the email had already been requested but not yet sent.
[12:05] <mgz> wgrant: thanks
[12:06] <mgz> I didn't think it was usual for registry admins to be a bug supervisor, but I guess it's okay then?
[12:07] <wgrant> It's not hugely usual, but all it does is grant us extra privs -- hardly worth invoking IS over.
[12:20] <Saviq> hi all, I noticed a new user (registered 2 weeks ago, no other activity) accepting a whole lot of bugs (like 5 a minute) https://launchpad.net/~eddiedog988/+karma
[12:20] <Saviq> what're the steps for dealing with that?
[12:24] <cjwatson> You should probably start by talking to the user and explaining why their behaviour is problematic
[12:24] <cjwatson> It's usually best to start with that before invoking higher authority
[12:24] <cjwatson> https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad would be the next step after that
[12:24] <platouche> Maybe he's new and he doesn't know how it's work ?
[12:25] <cjwatson> Right, that's why it's worth talking to them first.
[12:25] <cjwatson> I've had this happen in the past and sometimes it just turns out to be an excess of enthusiasm, and the contributor later becomes useful.
[12:26] <cjwatson> (Which probably won't happen if we go straight to locking their account.)
[12:26] <wgrant> https://launchpad.net/~eddiedog988/+karma suggests it's rather less innocent than that.
[12:26] <wgrant> Though they seem to have stopped for now.
[12:26] <wgrant> Given the volume of damage so far, I think suspension will be in order if they resume...
[12:27] <wgrant> But also contacting them would be nice :)
[12:27] <wgrant> They may just be clueless, but we also need to minimise damage.
[12:29] <wgrant> And there we go.
[12:29] * wgrant suspends and emails.
[12:38] <platouche> wgrant: is it possible he already delete is account ? Seem the url to his account doesn't work anymore
[12:38] <wgrant> That's a side-effect of me suspending him.
[12:40] <platouche> Oh I see. Sorry first time I see this. I taught it would be written somewhere suspended or something else next to his account name
