[15:04:34] <Bytram> Well... once it is in systemd it will probably be lost for good. No worries here! =)
[15:06:15] <janrinok> spiraldancing is no show today - but it is a weekend
[15:06:23] <Bytram> nod nod
[15:06:33] <janrinok> did you get my email reply?
[15:07:30] <Bytram> Yes, I did. I concur.
[15:07:49] <janrinok> my intention is to get SD to process a couple of live subs under supervision with the instruction that he is NOT to release a story until it has been seen by an experience editor
[15:08:03] <janrinok> are you content with that in principle?
[15:08:28] <Bytram> FWIW, when I see a story submission from a bot, I have no qualms about deleting it *without* a reason given, though sometimes I do it anyway for posterity's sake.
[15:08:31] <Bytram> yes.
[15:08:49] <janrinok> we will benefit by having a couple of more stories processed rather than several play subs on dev
[15:09:12] <Bytram> I'd be happy with even a couple stories per day!
[15:09:39] <janrinok> I didn't realise it was a bot sub - we should prioritise on community subs providing they are of an acceptable standard
[15:10:46] <Bytram> Not saying that it was. Just pointing out that *when* I see that it is a bot sub that I am deleting, I generally see no need to give a reason for doing so.
[15:11:06] <janrinok> ah, ok
[15:39:45] <Bytram> =cite https://www.biorxiv.org

[15:43:05] <chromas> It'd be nifty if the deletion note was stored in rehash so it can be seen later
[15:44:12] <Bytram> Somehow I thought it was.
[15:44:45] <Bytram> Hmmmm.
[15:44:48] <chromas> I don't recall seeing it show up, but it could still be stored
[15:44:57] <chromas> It does go to my email though :)
[15:45:33] <Bytram> I think you are right. It appears in the same way as all other "Editor's Notes" are saved, IIRC, and that would only be with the approved stories?
[15:47:14] <Bytram> Hmmm, so it is sent as a *message* (either e-mail or on web) and then expires after 2 weeks unless deleted earlier by user. Double Hmmm.
[15:47:22] <Bytram> chromas++ Great catch!

[15:52:54] <chromas> I should add a =submit option that skips the submitter's name
[15:53:34] <Bytram> you mean like: --poster="anonynmous coward"

[15:58:04] <Bytram> ;)
[15:58:53] <chromas> or if you want it to be easier when scanning the subs list, I can put the nick in the submitter's field
[16:00:49] <Bytram> You can? I thought that was taken from the submitter's nick. Or... is that the default value that is offered, but can be manually changed?
[16:03:24] <chromas> You can put whatever you want in the field. the bot used to put the irc nick in but I changed i so you know it's a bot sub
[16:03:53] <chromas> it could do both I guess. "BS: Bytram" or something mebbe
