 morguldir | do you know what rule that was | 13:12:49 |
| morguldir | because it just posted the servers in the room | 13:12:57 |

the admin room is pretty powerful depending on what remote access you need I'm running queries on the database for multiple reasons. It ranges from having statistics about our rooms to analyzing, detecting and alerting about unusual or malicious behavior within our rooms. | 13:18:12 |

because it just posted the servers in the room Yes, it was the last server on the list, which contained the word "xanax". | 13:18:58 |

you can join rooms again even if you drop the database Was that fixed? Synapse FAQ - I have a problem with my server. Can I just delete my database and start again? | 13:30:43 |
 morguwuldir 🏳️⚧️ | i don't recall an issue like that ever existing to be honest 🤔 | 13:42:52 |
| morguwuldir 🏳️⚧️ | but i do agree that dropping your synapse db won't help much | 13:43:03 |
| Michael | Yeah, when I was more active in the synapse admin room, every couple of weeks someone joined and asked for help because they dropped their database for whatever reason. | 13:56:07 |
| Michael | * Yeah, when I was more active in the synapse admin room, every couple of weeks someone joined and asked for help because they dropped their database for whatever reason. Exactly that happened, what the FAQ describes.
For example: other servers might think that you are in a room, your server will think that you are not, and you'll probably be unable to interact with that room in a sensible way ever again.
| 14:01:46 |
| Michael | Occasionally, I still get requests from users asking if I could kick them from our rooms because they can't join again. | 14:03:20 |
 defnull | I left the python room with my defnull.de account this morning and I'm still in the room according to this account. It's a mess. | 14:05:37 |
| Michael | Did you "forget" the room? | 14:07:09 |
| defnull | No, I clicked "Verlassen" (leave) in Element. | 14:07:44 |
| Michael | After you leave a room, the room should still be in your room list, but at the very bottom. From there you should be able to "forget" it. | 14:09:53 |
| defnull | I was just able to re-join the room. But now element warns me I'm the only one left in the room when I try to leave again. | 14:11:02 |
| Michael | Matrix... | 14:12:09 |

| morguwuldir 🏳️⚧️ | in element | 14:13:57 |
| defnull | I left again, but this time not via the button in the room list (left side) but via the room info sidebar on the right side. And that worked. | 14:14:53 |
| defnull | Those two buttons should do the same, they are labeled the same (A door icon and "Verlassen" (leave)) but ... ehh, whatever. | 14:15:38 |
| Michael | Yeah, I don't see the account in the room anymore. | 14:16:00 |
| Michael | But even if, you can kick yourself from your mod account. | 14:16:53 |
| Michael | In reply to @morguwuldir:uwu.sulian.eu
they removed this button haha Finally! | 14:17:59 |
| Michael | Someone always forgot to do that and the server kept the room in the database. | 14:18:59 |
| morguldir | oh it’s not like that.. | 14:19:36 |
| morguldir | they just removed the button so you can’t forget it in the client anymore | 14:20:00 |
| Michael | Great... | 14:20:17 |
| Michael | But it seems to drop the user count to 0 now (at least on an unfederated room). So it should be picked up for deletion. | 14:25:07 |
 BrenBarn | any time a FAQ says "you will be unable to ... ever again" it's hair-raising | 17:24:45 |
