Spam bot invasion

Jump to navigation Jump to search

I have scanned through 'all pages' and deleted all spampages there, luckily easy to recognize due to loooong page names. Afaik no more spam is present, just some contributions from the Active user list that I can't locate anywhere.

‎Heartgold537 just spammed. It seems we forget somebody?

Those buggers are smart. They create an account and then spam from it after some time passes. This is exactly what GrubbmGait predicted above.

We just need to embrace ourself for couple weeks. I suggest to put 

[[Category:Spam]]

text within the offending pages so admins have easier time to track them down.

Yes it helps. Anyway, the best way against human spammers is that we have more people than them;) At least with more admins it really helps.

MultiplyByZer0 sees the wiki very frequently, we would react to spammers much faster if he were admin as well;)

I may be the first one on wiki who sees the attack ;p It happens right after I edited an article. And if at that time we were to disable account creation immediately and take other actions to help, the attack won't happen at all.
