    Banhammer needed

    Bg-wiki has been having a bit of a problem with spammers lately. I wish I didn't have to bother you with this, but we need a mod's help to banhammer them back to the stone ages. The most recent is:
    User contributions - BGWiki

    Isn't Hanna Montana under 18?

    Slow - FFXIclopedia, the Final Fantasy XI wiki - Characters, items, jobs, and more

    Slow - BGWiki

    Spot the difference.

    BG goes into more detail than otherwiki (when I last checked slow on otherwiki there was nothing on percentages).

    There isn't as many people contributing and there are a lot more 'red links' etc than otherwiki but bgwiki has its uses.

    You get the information that you deserve. Some of us have higher goals than paralyzed weaponskills and Crystal Tools with the Shantotto Ascension add-on.

    Looks like we have a few more bots at it again for a dating service this time. First is 91.214.44.228 and the second is 127.0.0.1. Spam from 127.0.0.1 is a neat but annoying trick.

    I think that the 127.0.0.1 IP is an error in our logs, not something that they are doing.

    I am trying to keep an eye on this, we need to take more proactive measures.

    I just saw this error come up again on a user page today. I immediately thought it was another bot until I compared the page history.

    What kind of measures are you talking about?

    We've set the permissions so that only registered users may edit pages. If problems continue, we can strengthen it up a little more.

    Cool. Now I don't have to pester mod's every time a bot shows up.

    Well, if you see something odd, let us know.

    And thank you for all of the work you have been doing. You are kicking some ass.

    I need to find a new project to work on for the wiki. I think I'm giving up on BCNM's, they're more trouble then I thought. I was thinking of maybe fixing all the key items, but who knows how many of them have that problem. Could be thousands.
