Sorry, I arrowed down a bit.... But WOW that list. I scrolled straight down it to look for the local res big dog I assumed would be there and of course he is. Such an ass. But I recognize a few other names as well.

Alright, given that I dont use it, but dont feel its justifiable to burn, because almost no one in there is still using it, I have simply left POPTART.

I mean, it's the complete opposite of how we organize around here. We do local, sometimes hyperlocal sovereignty. How long would we last without murdering each other if Scott and Elliot had to check with Philly before doing anything? To hell with that.

I would not be surprised if some of the bigger local kings were in with regional leads, and had access through the bots. I can't believe 12thman doesn't share everything with that whole crew, one way or another.
SC
Scott Lykens (@5parkee)
Yeah - if distribution is generally through local chats then they surely had access through them.

'course there seems to be little need for it. I know it's a fairly big generalization, but I'd say a lot of our team has better things to do than hunt GPs, etc.

It's possible it's a good thing to have someone here with above average competency with tools like that in places where they are discussed just to keep a thumb on the pulse to tell them when it's time to pump the brakes when they cross the line.

I realized this morning that I was still in the slack for it, and left.

that was sort of my opinion, but I never touched the stuff and guilt by association wasnt worth it.

We do broad organizations strictly for strategic goals with fixed timeframes: anomalies, shards, BAFs. Elsewise, it's strictly local control. Hunting requires 24/7 regionalism to be effective, the way they set it up.

How does one get out of cactus? And how would one get in to it in the first place? I'm not sure if I'm in it?
AN
Aneristic (PHL)
Oh, that's the raw log?
SC
Scott Lykens (@5parkee)
Looks like itโs an exported report from the system IMO. Instead of running in real time it must export and then send you a link.
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
Everyone can authenticate to the client via V, but you can also setup a channel that sends you alerts when activity happens in a predefined area. I turned off everything on mine except new portals.
Doing that makes you an admin for those channels. Everyone can just not use cactus. If you signed up for a channel, leave it, and remove yourself from the admin sheet.

Over a thousand messages. I'm assuming it blew up because of the lists I saw in the drive. I've notated several I know for sure. There are other names that I know but can't quite pin where.
It really didn't surprise me to see so many KC and Kansas area res on that list.
I saw cactus mentioned in here. Tldr? I know of one person who was a big pusher for that bot. I left the person's area TG because of it.
