User:EbaumsWorldDotCom vandalizing Christian Knowledge Base

There was a similar attack on the Gaiapedia. Associated users and IP's are Mootisafag, Ebaumsworlddotcom, ILoveEbaumsWorld, 69.19.14.33, and EbaumsWorldRules. I noticed that the vandal has a particular affinity towards two things. Replacing system images, and adding images to the Main Page and included pages of obscene material. And also to replacing the content of those pages with the word "NIGGER" a few thousand times encompassed within a div which covers the entire page. You can basically prevent the vandalism entirely by protecting all the images you use in the CSS for the skin, and temporarily protecting the Main Page using cascading protection. It might also be a good idea if a spam filter was added to SpamRegex to prevent the use of a word used a large degree of times with nothing except whitespace in between. Algorithm(Algo in IRC) drafted this one that could be used " ". If you have active vandalism like this on a low activity wiki, I've found a very good way to stop them is to install the Check4Change extension on Firefox, and to use it on the RSS RC feed for the wiki. It'll alert you when someone's edited the wiki, and you can then proceed to check, and likely, revert/delete, and ban the proxy/user. It's quite dissuading for them because it doesn't have you constantly checking the RC for vandalism (^_^ I can still use the computer for fun, while at the same time killing every attempt they make), and it the vandalism they add only lasts for a few seconds, and their proxy is blocked right away, so they need to spend time finding a new one every time they make a single short lived bit of vandalism. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Dec 11, 2007 @ 05:54 (UTC)
