Table:Spam

Discussion
I suppose all this spam is being caused by one single person, who's trying to have some fun at The Infosphere's expense with dozens of new different users. (Duh.) Can't you find out his IP address and just block that? Or even their entire area? Sanfazer 18:35, 27 January 2011 (CET)
 * Definitely not a consistent IP. - Quolnok 00:51, 28 January 2011 (CET)
 * They seem to be consistently creating an account and spamming as it, as such, I have disabled creation of accounts for IP users. Until we have settled this issue.
 * Anyone reading this who wants an account should contact a SysOp, they can still create accounts for others. --Sviptalk 18:45, 28 January 2011 (CET)
 * Good measure. That oughta take care of those vandals. But there's still a couple of pages out there you might've missed because of this "invasion": Talk:Assisted Living Nebula and Talk:Globetrotter University. Delete them s'il vous plait. Sanfazer 23:32, 28 January 2011 (CET)
 * So done. --Sviptalk 14:49, 29 January 2011 (CET)

Spam is consistently on the rise, the spambots are getting too clever for our CAPTCHA. As a temporary resort, I will block unregistered users from creating pages. In the mean time I will look for an alternative to ConfirmEdit. --Sviptalk 14:54, 9 February 2011 (CET)
 * That's, again, a good measure. But 9 out of 18 of our most recent pages (Europe, Fulcrum County Prism, Empire State Building, Fashion, Theodore Roosevelt, Nanny-Cams, Osirian High Priest, ‎Channel 4√4, and Joss Whedon) were created by IPs. (Yeah, I've been paying attention to Special:NewPages.) The amount of new articles will certainly diminish. I know this is probably the only way to stop The Ongoing Invasion, but it's gonna cost us. Try not to take too long! Sanfazer 23:58, 9 February 2011 (CET)

Updates
I installed a far more effective CAPTCHA system now (one that actually uses images). Guests can now create pages and accounts again. --Sviptalk 11:24, 9 April 2011 (CEST)
 * Neat! - Quolnok 12:17, 9 April 2011 (CEST)
 * Of the four pages created so far, it looks like two of them are spam. One definitely is and this other article article looks like spam also. While not off to an amazing start, I like the new system. It forces me to look over the page a second time before submitting. Teyrn of Highever 19:34, 9 April 2011 (CEST)
