Personnel
gollark: It doesn't really have more security problems than usual. It's just bad.
gollark: I don't see how educating people on rights and whatever you suggested would fix a problem you claim is caused by people misusing systems.
gollark: Some are worse than others.

gollark: "yes, my server is perfectly secure as long as nobody does things I don't want them to to it"
