Wiki Spammer

[Darklor]

Where is the purge?

[EusthEnoptEron]

Another approach would be deleting users by "website". Most of these s*ckers have put their website in the respective field. (you'll notice quite a few "ayashii" users in this list)

So how do you tell if they are really spammers? Unless we should visit those sites to tell if they seem like spammers?

memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=5484

for example, i highly believe this abigninna is a spammer, but i have no proof, despite how suspicious his website is...

True. Well, I would just delete them anyway and maybe send out an e-mail, but that's just my antisocial, irresponsible side speaking.
Seriously though, I think most of those are spambots, judging from the difference in websites between the new registrations and the slightly older ones.

Yeah, if you arent sure, just go to it. Make sure you have no script/adblocker plus though....

i can't block them. only sys ops, supervisors and editor rights can block them.
we need a graphics captcha.

and why don't we create a bot to delete spammer bots?

lolz, a bot to delete spammer bots, why dont u give it a try? i cant even think of an effective way to find the spammers!

I think our sign-up process needs to be more secure, like something besides autoconfirming.

Otherwise, set up a bot looking for pages with the same layout.
All of these spammers just link themselves to some outside (and probably virus/spyware laden) websites, and they all look pretty similar to each other.

Also, I don't want to sound like an idiot, but how do you delete pages permanently?
So far, I'm just going to each of the spam pages and deleting everything inside.
I think it still leaves the page behind, as a 0-byte shell.
However, I see some people actually deleting websites, and I don't know how to do that...

think only admins can do that.

[MerrickXasis]

Clearly, our captcha system needs to be upgraded.
reCaptcha anyone?

Oh yeah, requesting ability to delete pages. Permanently.
