Spam bot invasion

Hi Skilgannon,

I think you have page deletion permission. We need it, since there are hundreds of spam pages whcih appeared on wiki today.

May be there is a way to get such permissions to new crop of users. Looks like many previously active advanced users are not here anymore.

    An admin can mass-cleanup the spam by using Special:Nuke on suspicious users from Special:ActiveUsers, as well as suspicious edits from Special:RecentChanges.

    In the light of this, I would like to nominate User:Beaming for admin rights.

    Skilgannon's email can be found in Contacts.

    More discussion on this attack can be found here and here.

    By the way, I wonder if there is a way to delete/hide entries from Special:RecentChanges...
