I peek back and find.. 1500 spam posts. I don't think blocking the individual accounts will help much; they seem to make an account per post. Semi-blocking account creation (putting the Page Creation right into a usergroup that's only granted to real users by hand) for a few days may or may not help; it would at least stop them from making more pages. I don't think you're going to be able to wait this one out. <br />
Also, are you going to delete the spam pages, or just leave them there? (just curious) --[[User:Vipermagi|Vipermagi]] 10:52, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
:Hey man! Indeed so. We've been spammed. Not 1500, more like a few hundred (280 or so). I have now manually banned them all, I hope no real users were banned in the process. Will start deleting pages now. Rushster was adamant to not have manual confirmation of users, so that's not happening, but he has installed Re-Captcha, and the second that went live, it seemed to stop, so good tidings. This could have gone on for a week if we were unlucky!
:I Don't think you have permissions to delete pages, but if you do, go ahead and help me delete them. :)
: PS, you like the new navboxes? :)--[[User:Leord|Leord]] 13:36, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
