Spam posted on the Vim Tips wiki by 193.138.147.67 - please delete. --JohnBeckett 07:21, 9 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for reporting it. I see you're an admin on the wiki, so feel free to delete it yourself. -- Manticore  Talk 10:39, 9 November 2007 (UTC)


 * What is the best thing for me to do? I report a couple of spams per week, and I would be quite happy to delete them from the Vim Tips wiki myself if that is what should be done. I vaguely thought that reporting it here was best so someone wiser than I could work out whether other stuff should be done (look for it on other wikis; blacklist phrases...).
 * Should I delete? Should I report? Thanks --JohnBeckett 03:44, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

You should do both. Reporting the IP allows us to check for it on other wikis, reporting the wiki allows janitors and staff to view the deleted page. If there's a specific URL used, report it here so central sysops can blacklist it. If you've done all that, delete it. -- Manticore  Talk 04:01, 10 November 2007 (UTC)


 * OK - thanks. Now who wants to post some spam for me to work on... --JohnBeckett 08:49, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
