MediaWiki talk:Spam Blacklist/Archive 2

Spam flooding at wiki 24
The user list of accounts at the wikia for 24,, has become absolutely flooded with an extreme amount of inactive users and users with offensive names (the n-word, you name it). Can a Staffer, or anyone, please assist in cleaning this list up? Any help will be appreciated. Blue Rook 07:28, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


 * This is the list of users for all Wikia sites. To see just the people on the 24 Wiki, please use Special:Activeusers instead. Angela talk 17:28, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you, Angela! But, I've noticed that the Special:Listusers right here at wikia central is alot more cleaned up, and doesn't have every user like wiki24 does. Can the same technique that was used to cull out all of the abusive and foul accounts from the central wikia's user list be used to clean out wiki24's? Blue Rook 19:53, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


 * This wiki hasn't been upgraded yet. The feature that hides some of the problem users from there was lost in the upgrade but we do hope to get it back soon! Angela talk 22:39, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

I hope the feature is re-inserted sometime soon.. otherwise, with respect to the User List, the current upgrade is more of a downgrade :P Thanks again for your time explaining this one to me! you've really been a great help. Blue Rook 06:51, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

When to Add to the Blacklist?
Should we add URLs after one instance of a spam attack, or wait for more? Also, I'm not sure how much of the URL is best? Advice please? As a specific example, should I add the two URLs just posted (and already removed) to the Central Wikicity's home page? I don't want to slow the loading of every saved page, but I'd rather not have to clean-up the same URLs again. --CocoaZen 17:50, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * It depends what they are and whether they are definitely spam. Something like this is an obvious spam attack, but someone adding one innapropriate URL to a page is often not. If you're unsure, you can also add it temporarily. It might be worth checking Google for other wikis with the spam URL. If +wiki Google: SpamURL.com +wiki has hits, then it should be blacklisted. If an edit adds dozens of different URLs, adding just one of those to the blacklist will normally prevent future attacks since the edits are being made by bots who won't know to just remove the blacklisted URL from their edit. Angela (talk) 00:00, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Checking contribs across wikis
I now have a somewhat buggy script that will check edits across multiple wikis. It doesn't work perfectly, but can be used for finding cases of the same user spamming multiple Wikicities, so please report the username or IP of spammers here as well as links to the diffs where they spammed. Angela (talk) 02:49, 21 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Any chance of an alphanumeric list?
Maybe a one-off extraction as a first port of call? Maybe no value?? (Some of us are a bit ignorant about these things) Robin Patterson 01:40, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Please clarify. An alphanumeric list of what?  Are you suggesting that the blacklist be ordered?
 * That might be a good idea.
 * If that is what you meant, I'd like to understand the potential benefit.  We only add sites when they become problems.  After they've been put on the list, they shouldn't be able to be a problem.  Is that what you mean?  What value do you think it would have?  I wouldn't have any problem with it, but don't really want to go to the work of organizing what we have without a reason.
 * Another potential problem with alphabetizing is that it depends on how much of the url is used. Sometimes we have to make a choice about whether to post xyz.objectionable-site.tla or the more generic objectionable-site.tla that would also cover abc.objectionable-site.com.  As you can see, each choice would appear in a different place in an alphabetized list.
 * Again, it's not that I'm disagreeing with your suggestion, it's just that I don't understand it. Maybe someone else will have a better response.  --CocoaZen 02:09, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)


 * I don't mind, but I often update the page from the version on Meta, so I don't promise to keep it alphanumeric, but someone else can if they find it useful. Angela (talk) 15:25, 2 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Hydrocodone sites - block all?
There are multiple hydrocodone sites which have been spammed. Would it make sense to blacklist all sites with "hydrocodone."? Normally it would be overkill, and it seems to me that assuming good will works well for most cases, but after multiple violations, I'm proposing this stronger measure. If someone comes up with a non-advertising, legitimate site, we could remove this blanket block. --CocoaZen 03:37, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)


 * Yes, blocking all those is fine. Just don't block cialis. I considered doing so before until I realised it"s the middle of the word "socialism" which has legitamate links, especially on the socialism wiki. :) Angela


 * Wow, that explains some odd looking stuff I've seen elsewhere - just depends if someting can be identified as a delimited word, though the perishers usually mis-spell stuff like that to get though spam filters Ace of Risk

Alaska (again)
Spam from ip and ip   which was first commented with "Problem?" and then on the second edit "Reported vandalism." I didn't know how to use the rollback feature so after a few tries I simply re-edited the last good version and saved it. The vandalism happened on Talk:Alaska, same as the other times. --Doug 03:17, 23 Nov 2005 (UTC)


 * If you're logged in, you should see a "rollback" link when you look at the user's contributions, or at a diff page. Angela (talk) 14:16, 3 Dec 2005 (UTC)

overzealous spam filter
Reverting the latest vandalism here was troublesome, because of the above link being blacklisted. I tried to enclose it in tags so it doesn't register on the spam filter but had to end up breaking the link. This may need to be looked into at some point. nae'blis (talk) 19:28, 14 Dec 2005 (UTC)


 * I think it's useful that the spam is blocked even on talk pages like this. It's easy enough to just type lucky.to without the preceeding http:// that makes it a link. --Angela (talk) 23:33, 15 Dec 2005 (UTC)

User: Fuckface
For his attacks on the Star Wars Fanon wiki on virtually everryone. I would like to have him banned. |User: MaulYoda 20:53, 30 May 2006 (UTC)


 * The Spam Blacklist is only for blocking spammed links, and won't do anything to stop a page move vandal. I've pokled some staff to have him blocked. Splarka 21:27, 30 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Those can now be reported at Cross wiki user blocks. Angela (talk)

cygnus-x1.net
Spamming Memory Alpha for a long time from various IPs. Jaz 19:59, 4 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Added. Angela (talk) 22:23, 4 June 2006 (UTC)


 * There seem to be a lot of false positives for this. Are you sure that site isn't wanted on Memory Alpha? Angela (talk) 02:49, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Another request

 * perso.wanadoo.es, from IP address 89.0.34.10 on Wookieepedia. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 10:59, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Added. Szoferka 11:01, 10 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure about this one. I ran the spam cleanup script today and there were a lot of false positives. Genuine users seem to be linking to that site quite a lot. Are you sure it's worth blacklisting it? Angela (talk) 05:07, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

yandex.ru
Why is Yandex blacklisted? This is one of the most popular search engines for Russian-speaking users. Please delete this from list. Edward Chernenkoo a 11:20, 24 June 2006 (UTC)


 * It's been removed now, so feel free to revert the removal of it on your wiki. Angela (talk) 11:35, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Another good site blocked

Spam filter creates too many problems as it is. There should be ways to whitelist certain URLs for wiki admins. And the damn page that is shown when a suspicious link is added doesn't even link to any relevant pages explaining what the blacklist is. Paranoid 07:34, 3 August 2006 (UTC)


 * The whitelist problem has been addressed on MediaWiki. We should have MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist messages in the next upgrade (see Wikipedia:MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist for example). --Splarka (talk) 08:05, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

bookhe.info
I've just realized that I've been seeing this here and there and not thinking about it. Mainly because I have only seen on a few user pages. User:Beahah69 on Education is one, User:Shipheak25 on Cascadia. In each case, a user id matching the user page has been used, but only the one line has been placed, and the page being linked to looks rather suspicious. If you're like me, you probably haven't been paying too much attention to userpages. Looks like someone has decided to take advantage of that.--Kirk 21:38, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Since I last wrote, I must of come across another ten of these. Only two had been previously taken care. --Kirk 22:30, 8 August 2006 (UTC)


 * adds it* --Splarka (talk) 00:18, 9 August 2006 (UTC)


 * See my post about this on the mailing list. People should watch out for this sort of user page spam. Angela (talk) 10:39, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

list of users spam
http://genealogy.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Listusers List of users on the genealogy wiki contains a series of graffitti type "user names" beggining with a string of "!" symbols presumably intended to ensure that the names will be displayed at the top of the list.--Bill 19:48, 16 August 2006 (UTC)


 * This seems to be more pervasive than I initially thought. The same "!" is used to begin many usernames on the Wikipedia UserList as well.  In this case most are simply a string of "!" symbols, but some are clearly the same as those graffitti type names appearing on the Genealogy Wiki. Also, on the genealogy wiki, the total number of entries in this list of users well exceeds the number of articles posted.  I suspect someone is just flooding the list with fictious user names.


 * Special:Listusers is the same on every wikia, as Wikia has a shared user database. Just ignore them. --Splarka (talk) 01:45, 17 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Use Special:Activeusers instead since that only shows people who have edited your wiki. Angela (talk) 11:48, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

And here we go again with more Uncyc Spam!
EvilZak took care of a bunch more spam pages on Uncyc from multiple open proxies and from these URLs: 2abdurah\.org 2ebetvsehss\.org 2begemoss\.org 2cerila\.org 2demans\.org &mdash;Hinoa 19:05, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Added. Thank you for your report. DCLXVI 19:13, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Removed from the blacklist
There is a bug appearing at the moment, possibly because the list is too long. Adding more entries causes everyone to get errors on saving. I've removed the following 20 URLs to allow us to add active ones. They will need replacing when the bug is gone. If you are adding more URLs and get an error on saving the list, then please remove some from the list straight away and add them here to be replaced later. Thanks -- sannse (talk) 20:22, 20 August 2006 (UTC)


 * These have been re-added since the new extension allows the regex to be longer. Angela talk 00:57, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

On Wookieepedia:

 * I'll add those now. Angela (talk)

Work at home/Usa jobs
Had one on Wiki 24 this morning. You can see the deleted page if you look quick enough. ^_~ Spammer advertised these two domains:
 * work-at-home.sauiu.info/

--StBacchus 14:08, 4 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll add those now. Thanks for reporting them. Angela (talk) 14:19, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Possible spam
http://genealogy.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Main_Page/

Looks like graffitti, no meaningful content for site. by an anonymous user 69.31.86.59


 * "Talk:Main_Page/" (with the incorrect / at the end) is a surprisingly common target for spammers. I guess someone coded their spam bot wrongly. I'll add the links from that page and delete it. Thanks for reporting it. Angela (talk) 17:43, 5 September 2006 (UTC)


 * http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Main_Page/ is a similar spam page. Added by 83.149.236.106. Tjoneslo 03:39, 10 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks. That's blacklisted already and I've deleted the page. Angela (talk)

non-spam URLs
no-ip\.info block too many non-spam URLs.--LungZeno(talk) 01:35, 12 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok, I'll unblock that. Please let me know if there are any spam sub-domains of no-ip.info which do need blocking. Angela (talk) 03:36, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Encyclopædia Dramatica
The spam filter blocked this URL in the Hungarian Spamwiki (in humour section):  http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php/Spam  Why? --blogadmin 12:17, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Encyclopedia Dramatica is blocked becouse of porno spam hotlinked from there. Szoferka 12:28, 4 October 2006 (UTC)


 * That was recently removed, so this shouldn't be a problem anymore. Are you still finding it is blocked? Angela (talk) 13:11, 4 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Not yet. Thank you. --blogadmin 14:53, 4 October 2006 (UTC)


 * If you want to block the images from ED, it is far fairer to other Wikia wikis to block pron.encyclopediadramatica.com, the image subdomain. Not all Wikia wikis have policies forbidding linking to ED.  Hmmm... will try to make the change myself.  Feel free to adjust as necessary.  --Leam


 * It's not only images that's the problem. There have been many cases where multiple spam links were added that point to Encyclopedia Dramatica, and most of them are done for vandalism purposes. G .He (Talk!) 23:23, 22 March 2007 (UTC)


 * So wait, are you saying that Wikipedia was vandalized with spam links to sites like www.enhanceyourwhatever.com, and not links that point to Encyclopedia Dramatica, but were perpetrated by vandals from ED? If this is the case, I don't see how blacklisting links to ED prevents links to www.enhanceyourwhatever.com from showing up.  It wouldn't make any logical sense, unless it was out of spite (which is against WP policy as far as I can tell).  Again, ED images are easily blocked by the means I suggested, if my interpretation of your response is correct, I don't see a compelling reason to block links, especially when said block perpetuates more reasons for the vandals to vandalise.  --Leam


 * Currently, I can still add links to ED by using proxy sites such as Tinyurl (and others), but frankly, there should be a better solution. If WP wants to have a NO ED policy, that's their right, but they should respect the right of other Wikia projects to not necessarily agree with it.  This software is flexible -- surely the ED domain can be limited to just WP.  --Leam


 * Firstly, this is not Wikipedia; this is Wikia. Secondly, the wikis were not vandalized with spam links like www.enhanceyourwhatever.com, but rather with links like www.encyclopediadramatica.[com|org]/index.php/PAGE, where PAGE contains pornographic/defaming content. Because that happened so many times on so many different wikis, the URL is now blacklisted. Personally, I have no problems with the idea of local exception lists, but whether that gets implemented or not, I don't know. G .He (Talk!) 21:03, 23 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Spam is not the same thing as vandalism and vice-versa. I wanted to clarify things.  Spam is more commercial in nature, and what you're referring to is links to content that is deemed offensive.  I should also point out a few things: 1. the content on ED is not defamatory; it is either true or satirical and/or critical.  2. not all the content on ED is offensive.  3. not all users on ED have an interest in vandalism, and some of us think vandalism is old meme.  --Leam


 * I still do not see the harm in unblocking at least links to ED, as vandalism is quite quickly reverted (as I understand it). If the images subdomain is blocked, that effectively takes the teeth out of the articles, and a gentler stance towards ED in the long run might have the positive effect of reducing the amount of vandalism.  Winners all around.  --Leam


 * If still that is out of the question, I would like to know who I appeal to, and who I contact about a local exception on furry.wikia.com. --Leam


 * It's funny that you didn't bring that up with the actual WikiFur community before asking here. Given the amount of vandalism that we've had in the past from visitors from ED, the trust level of information on it, and the reputation it has in the furry fandom, I'm not at all sure we want to be be linking to it. Why would we care to support a site that encourages drama, which has wasted so much of our time in the past? --GreenReaper(talk) 21:17, 26 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Actually, I did, albeit briefly. When I found out it was a global ban that affected all Wikia-hosted wikis, I thought I would tackle it here, for the reasons I stated above.  You may disagree, but I see more benefit to a global unban.  If such a thing is not yet feasible, I was then going to try and appeal for a local one, which would eventually reach your ears.  :3  But yeah, vandalism is old meme; my goal is a wikitruce, and I think this is a good first step.  --Leam


 * I think you underestimate the depth of feeling here. :-) If our ultimate objective is annihilation, why would we offer a truce? ED has nothing that we want. --GreenReaper(talk) 22:29, 26 March 2007 (UTC)


 * ED's ultimate objective is humor, which, like any aspect of popular culture, is never static. Vandalism is becoming old meme for the same reasons furries are old meme on SA.  I am, however, concerned that you're taking "fursecution" literally.  Furries are very important to ED.  They are the fandom horseman -- one quarter -- of the lolpacalypse.  :3  Further evidence of their importance is demonstrated by the number of furries who are users, the fursuit of the lulzturtle in progress, and ED's "furry month."  The FAQ even has a furry welcome.  A truce to speed the end of the vandalism seems beneficial to all wikis involved, as the vandalism itself is simply disenchanted folk trying to make a point.  If the points were made in better, perhaps more constructive ways we would all be farting royal rainbows.  In conclusion, HAI2U MY FURIEND PLZ RECONSIDER >:3  --Leam


 * I'm not saying your ultimate objective is annihilation, I'm saying it's ours. I know you aren't serious - but regardless of whether you mean it or not, your articles have an effect on the fandom, and on other people's perceptions of the fandom, and on all the other groups that you cover. ED's brand of humour is corrosive, and brings out the worst in both those it attacks and those that perpetuate it. I have defended individuals in the past for their free expression (when they were going after groups rather than individuals), and I try not to make assumptions about people who edit there, but ED acts as a lens for all the Nelsons in the world to go "ha ha", and I honestly think the world would be a better place if it did not exist. Now, that doesn't mean that I'm about to assemble a crack team of squirrel commandos to break into ED's co-lo and terminate the server with extreme prejudice, but it does mean that I'd like to - and that, failing that, I think we should do what we can to avoid sending people to the site. --GreenReaper(talk) 18:29, 27 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Frankly, I am counting on sites like ED to have an effect. We need the Ambrose Pierces, the Mark Twains, and the Ayn Rands to convince/guilt the masses into behaving; we're indeed the crude lens, as you say.  I think it's worth pointing out that ED's articles have had far less impact than the resmarted actions of the community at large.  I say this with a fair amount of authority, as a dedicated "anti-furry" and community leader of about 3 years, and dramamonger of about 6.  Sites such as SA, etc, with con presences and offline "fursecution" campaigns have had a much larger impact, to the point of influencing con policy.  ED focuses on and specializes in internet drama.  Trolls go wherever drama is, and if you have fundie childfree flamers, animal-abusing bestialists, and stalking fanboys tainting an otherwise fun community, I think trolls and "anti-furries" are a very natural response.  We are not bullies; we are intelligent, cynical people, and ED is our response to extreme internet retardedness.  While it's true some of our methods are not always ethical, there is a growing internal dissatisfaction with said methods.  If you'd like to help through legitimacy, that would be great, and you will be speeding the process along.  But this mindset will not suddenly go away, even if the site somehow does.  If you'd like to have a chat with me sometime, I can try to convince you that these drama networks can in fact be constructive allies; my contact info is not hard to find.  Finally, I'd like to close my little speech with one of my favorite quotes by George Orwell: "if liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."  --Leam
 * Also, I lolled at the initial perception. :3  --Leam
 * I believe I have a very valid point in regards to a lack of images renders ED articles easy to ignore. I request that pron.encyclopediadramatica.com be blocked in place of the entire ED site.  I have yet to hear a convincing reason to block the entire site that does not amount to censorship or spite, and I don't feel that is just.  Indeed, it is contrary to the foundation goals of being able to freely share in the sum of all knowledge; you have to take the good with the bad.  Comments and criticism are most welcome.  --Leam
 * prOn.encyclopediadramatica.com is already blocked via other means, so this discussion is only about links to the site itself. -- Sannse 07:21, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Well then it seems pointless to block links to the site. Doing so doesn't deter vandals because they have tinyurl, etc.  I request an unblock of links to www.encyclopediadramatica.com unless someone can tell me a good reason that it remain blocked.  --Leam


 * The reasons are already stated above. Links to it have been used for vandalism purposes where the visitor is directed to inappropriate and defaming content. To be honest, I don't see how ED is a humor site, since it's more like a place to attack and make fun of people (which is why everybody hates it). I do believe that the world will definitely be a better place without it. As for sites like tinyurl, I'm also against them because as mentioned above, they can easily be abused and used for purposes such as vandalism where the visitor has no idea where he/she will actually end up. G .He (Talk!) 20:24, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
 * If a Wikia wiki actually wants to have links to a site like ED, an admin there could simply whitelist it locally. So the only obstacle that's left is whether any community actually wants its visitors to experience inappropriate/humiliating/defaming content that will probably scar them for quite some time. G .He (Talk!) 20:32, 28 March 2007 (UTC)


 * The reason I pressed the issue is the "I don't like Encyclopedia Dramatica because it's shocking/offensive, so it shouldn't be anywhere on Wikia," logic above is a double standard if offensive content isn't explicitly prohibited, and it goes against the founding vision of the site. 70.88.54.98 21:42, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
 * To say that the content of ED should be blocked because of vandals who use it for nefarious purposes is very similar to the same logic that is used to ban guns. Sure it may help, but to extend the analogy, until the reasons behind gun-related crime are addressed, people will simply pick up knives.  70.88.54.98 21:42, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
 * You make a valid point about the user potentially not having any idea where they will end up, but again to prevent this, all redirect sites would have to be banned. I also think that non-obvious links are crapshoots to begin with, but that's just my experience as a web developer talking.  70.88.54.98 21:42, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I guess there's really nothing more for me to add. I sincerely hope that someday you all look beyond your misconceptions about ED (feel free to fix this FAQ link; it's not "bad").  70.88.54.98 21:42, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Dragaera.wikia.com main page vandalized with linkspam

wikihumor ovh org
Apparently there had been a divisive split in the Polish Uncyclopedia community, with one group remaining on Nonsensopedia and the other leaving for wikihumor.ovh org? I'm unsure of the details of this one (as this is going on in Polish and I never learned any foreign languages) but I would like to know why one fork in this mess has been added to this spam blacklist. However bitter the situation has become, I'd suspect that a fork of an existing Uncyclopedia does not belong in the same category as yet another h3rb@lV1AGRA!!!!! spam site. Any reason why this wasn't discussed first, or why it isn't possible to leave the Polish politics out of the spam blacklist? --carlb 15:12, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * There's no two groups. There's big Nonsensopedia community and one 12 years old kid, whos parents buyed him a server space. Wikihumor is not even a spork: Nonsensopedia community is sure that is just piece of shit. Wikihumor is also not the Uncyclopedia, it's just wiki maded by overexcitable kid. We have ignored him some time ago, and we don't wanna to feed him, also don't wanna to watch him. I'm sure Wikihumor is not in the same category that Viagra spam, but Spam Blacklist if for many categories of variable accidents. Spam is not often discussed before blacklisting, so this time was similarly. Szoferka 18:58, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Spam from Duke Humper
Duke Humper has committed massive vandalism on the "Case for a Vegan World" wiki in the last 12 hours, defacing 3 pages by, in each case, blanking all content and posting pornographical images:

Numeric Spam Back Again
We hope 15:30, 2 December 2006 (UTC) Was added to an old Talk page:

http://petdiabetes.wikia.com/index.php?title=Talk:Main_Page&diff=13024&oldid=12485

Revision as of 06:17, 2 December 2006 (edit) 81.177.14.26 (Talk | block) (→Potter/Diabetes) Next diff → Potter/Diabetes Yes, because once people find themselves here, they are in the same situation as on either FDMB or canine message board--either new to diabetes or experienceing some type of problem with it and are looking for answers. Once they enter the wiki, they can then have a look at where they want to go--getting them not to feel intimidated and to come in is important.

We hope 20:32, 25 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Spam/vandalism
On Wookieepedia, User:GHE's only contribution was a weblink to urlcut\.com/raul654, which turns out to be some sort of browser crashing GNAA troll site. May already be listed on the spamlist, since he used the http:// trick. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 13:28, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Virus domain names
I think it'd be a good idea to block the virus/malware domain listed in F-Secure's malware domain list. It can be viewed by clicking that link or as text (TXT) file in this address: http://www.f-secure.com/export/sites/fs_global_site/security_center/Domain_Blacklist.txt

Nothing major, but I'd like to see those addresses blocked since Warezov virus is active one.

Removed site from the blacklist
The biggest Polish Star Wars encyclopedia "Ossus" -www.ossus.pl has been added to the blacklist. The only reason was that one user changed Main Page of Empirepedii and added link to Ossus. Please delete this from list. DantE 10:05, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I've replied by e-mail. Szoferka 14:50, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Szoferka, you are interested in adding Ossus to the blacklist, so you are not objective. I ask a person who is not personally involved in this situation to make a decision. DantE 10:05, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Please see w:c:starwars:Forum:Biblioteka Ossus added to Spam Blacklist for potential answer for your personal attack. Szoferka 10:18, 14 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Szoferka, this isn't the first time that you've abused the priviledge of access to the spam blacklist. A similar issue had already been raised three months ago in connection with Wikihumor, with you in a clear conflict of interest. Supposedly it represents competition to Nonsensopedia (where you are a sysop).


 * I can't comment as to whether it's unfunny (because of the language gap) and probably don't care, but I do know this: Every time you add some wiki that you don't like to this list, you're not just banning it from one of your individual projects (such as Nonsensopedia), you are banning it from each and every one of the 1600 or so other wikis that happen to have the same webhost.


 * The vandalbots that linkspam "buy generic phtherimene" to every known wiki are a severe enough problem that yes, they will hit every project. This often creates a need to blacklist that sort of thing site-wide. The same is not true of Ossus, or Wikihumour, or whatever wiki ennemi du jour happens to fall into your personal sights today.


 * Your definition of "spam" is an unusual one, often expressed in edits like this in which you removed desencyclopedie.com URLs from the Wikiindex article about that site. As "spam". Why desencyclopedie.com? I have no idea.


 * You talk a lot about having the support of some imaginary "community". Not sure why. I looked at w:c:starwars:Forum:Biblioteka Ossus added to Spam Blacklist and I see support from no one for the manner in which you are currently abusing the spam blacklist. No one, of course, except you. --carlb 00:48, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * OMG, god of hosting and stealing content said something to me. Should I feel honoured? Can I have your photo with autograph? Please? You're the last person who can admonish me for such things, mister "let's set interwiki table beetwen regular wikis and mirrors to get traffic". Szoferka 12:51, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

From szoferka's translation, I would describe this as spam rather than vandalism. It was an advert for another wiki, added without community consent to the main page. That said, I'm not sure of his motivation, given that he doesn't appear to be a member in good standing of Ossus. It's possible the addition to the black-list and the bad feeling this has generated, were the intended outcome. In which case it was pure trolling. Szoferka was justified in adding this to the spam blacklist, but with just one instance of spam, I think it was too soon - although I understand that there have been problems before that made her react quickly in this case.

Of course, appropriate links to Ossus are not spam, but inappropriate and excessive links should be removed and the spammer blocked. If the problem can be solved that way, then we can avoid using the spam blacklist on a site that there are legitimate links to. The most important thing is to not allow this to sour our relationships with our neighbours. We may have wikis on the same subject, but that certainly doesn't mean we can't get along and cooperate with each other - quite the opposite in fact!

I've removed Ossus from the blacklist. -- sannse (talk) 09:58, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello, 7chan and 4chan (http://4chan.org and http://7chan.org) have taken down the server to the game CyberNations, and they have just decided to attack the CyberNations wiki located at http://cybernations.wikia.com.

After you do that, click (del) next to the version you wish to delete (the version uploaded by the vandal).

So that we don't keep adding urls for new powerleveling sites which could have just been blocked with a block on the variations of the word powerlevel(ing). ~Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) tricks Jun 28, 2007 @ 08:39 (UTC)
