	Whats needed with the Erfworld copyrights page? History showed it was nothing but spam from the beginning. --[[User:Charles\|Charles]] 02:45, 23 May 2011 (EDT)		Whats needed with the Erfworld copyrights page?

		+
		+	Yeah, I suspected they might just be randomising the misspelling rather than making it consistent. Obviously to avoid blacklists picking them up. What I could possibly do is start blocking some of the correctly spelled expressions such as "that's the best" and "you've got the" but I'd be worried if those expressions might appear naturally in a page at some point.
		+	The worst thing is that what these bots are doing isn't even intended for a Wiki attack, its for a forum. What they generally do is setup accounts to make rubbish posts like this that are seemingly innocent, then they come back some days later and edit the posts to insert spam links so the MODS don't see it since the post has long since dropped out of sight and mind.
		+	Maybe this is just a purely malicious attack because we've blacklisted their sites and stopped their working SPAM.
		+	At least we know they're using some of the same IP addresses, so hopefully the IP banning will slow it down a little as well, but obviously they have a far larger IP range to post from than IP addresses we've banned.
		+	KittenAUTH will hopefully be updated soon. --[[User:Charles\|Charles]] 01:42, 26 May 2011 (EDT)
