There's a user on GitHub ('experimentalles') who has created random PRs on several projects (e.g. https://github.com/python/peps/pull/1116). Can we ban them? The PRs look the work of a vandal or a bot, not of a clueless human. -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido) *Pronouns: he/him/his **(why is my pronoun here?)* <http://feministing.com/2015/02/03/how-using-they-as-a-singular-pronoun-can-change-the-world/>
I've reported the user to GitHub. Ticket ID: 297185 On Mon, Jul 1, 2019, 5:40 PM Guido van Rossum <guido@python.org> wrote:

Hi, Sometimes, I get an email notification about strange comments (unrelated or make no sense) on commits made 6 months ago if not longer. Usually, I go to the user profile page and I click on "Block or report user": "Report abuse". I'm not sure what happens in this case. I never checks if these strange comments are removed by GitHub.

I've used the "Report abuse" feature on GitHub for such situations. Most of the time I see the user suspended, and the associated comments deleted. Our GitHub admins can delete comments too. On Tue, Jul 2, 2019, 1:42 AM Victor Stinner <vstinner@redhat.com> wrote:

Maybe there's also a way to automatically lock conversations on commits and old issues? Obviously we can lock them manually, but simply disallowing conversation in places where we don't want to have to pay attention to will force people towards the places where we are paying attention.

Hi Steve et al., I think this is eminently do-able via the GitHub API. Happy to put together a script if people are interested. Is there a repo being used for github magic? (I did a lot of this on a recent project - http://ivory.idyll.org/blog/2019-github-project-reporting.html - the PyGithub package is excellent.) best, —titus
GitHub actually provides a bot for this: https://probot.github.io/apps/lock/ . If people want to turn this one we can discuss it at https://github.com/python/core-workflow/.
It happens very rarely, like less than 10 spam commits per year. Maybe less than 5, I don't know. I don't think it's worth it to bother with locking conversations. Victor Le 02/07/2019 à 18:09, Steve Dower a écrit :

https://github.com/apps/lock But I'm solidary with Victor that unless this is a sizeable problem, it would do more harm than good.
Obviously we can lock them manually, but simply disallowing conversation in places where we don't want to have to pay attention to will force people towards the places where we are paying attention.

I occasionally add comments both to closed issues and merged commits. For commits, 'Thank you' or 'See #nnnn for followup' are examples
