Hi, I'm an admin on the Plants vs. Zombies wiki. Over the past days, we have been dealing with a sockmaster (probably using proxy) who has been socking excessively to post porn links. We added some stuff to the abuse filter but it only does edits. We did another using the account create that prevents account creation of some unacceptable usernames. It does not work and the sockmaster is still managing to make its way to the chat and spam links. I need some help with this since it won't work out. I need a script that will be able to capture it since our user creation log is ridiculous (WARNING: do not open if you're prone to bad sock usernames); look closely at their names for some help. As zambiealex has said, blocking users before they've done anything, even if they have inappropriate usernames, is a Fandom Terms of Use violation. The best you can do is report them to Wikia Staff so that they can deal with the issue better.
