Sleeper agents from August, that's a surprise. I banned them all and a couple related accounts I saw. Good catch.

@sam - You packed for the iPhone X Teardown?

by

@sam @oldturkey03 @danj since we didn't have time to go over the moderators requests at the conference, for changes in powers, would this be a good time to do it? They are just a few. To date I do not believe anyone has overstepped.

by

@mayer I think we should wait for awhile. Let things normalize for everyone first.

by

@oldturkey03maybe I missed something but I have no idea of what has been going at iFixit, just that almost everyone disappeared for the last month and a half

by

@mayer that is why I suggest we sit back and wait to see how or what things develop......

Either this is a new language or a broken spam robot, but three new accounts:

https://www.ifixit.com/User/2216439/pink...

https://www.ifixit.com/User/2216368/suna...

I think there was one more.

Those are security researchers participating in our responsible disclosure program. They're testing for XSS vulnerabilities.

@evan In that case, when I first tried to give me some warning about XXS_AUDITOR. I gave it a minute and I could access the page.

by

Can you tell us about these things so we don't report them?

by

Wait, what? Can you tell me what browser and OS you're running? And which page gave you the warning?

by

@evan I've banned stuff like this today. What we have here is Failure to communicate! I know your busy but you at least need to communicate with your moderators. Someone can find 15 minutes in a month and a half. It starts causing hard feeling when we're excluded and can't do out jobs correctly.
