SPAM

I'd love to do more to combat spam, but all I can do as an admin is block bots and delete edits. Only User:Harknell can. You'd have the best chance of finding him on the Forum. If the situation doesn't get some attention, I'll PM Balder about it. Miment 04:32, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Just an update, I talked with Rob about it a bit on IRC. He knows, and he's telling Harknell.

[15:02] <RobTitan> Primary problem is with new pages being created, then?
[15:03] <Miment> Yes
[15:04] <Miment> Disabling new pages would be an OK temp fix, but 
requiring a proper captcha on edits with new external links should 
stop basically any type of spam.
[15:07] <RobTitan> I will quote you on that directly to Harknell in this email I am composing.

Putting it in the talk page would be easier, yeah. Though really it doesn't matter. We only started doing things that way because anonymous editors don't have a user page. So the only place to put the category was in their talk.

If you want to clear the spammer category out of banned users, that's be fine with me.
