<p>Zantor: /* Spam Blizzard of &#039;06 */ reply</p> <hr /> <div>Archive from before the [http://www.battlestarwiki.org/en/index.php?title=User_talk:Steelviper&amp;oldid=36970 Spam blizzard of '06] (March 10, 2006)<br /> <br /> == Spam Blizzard of '06 ==<br /> There's quite a lot of spamming going on. Could they all be the same person? Why would anyone do that?, it's not clever.--[[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 18:20, 9 March 2006 (EST)<br /> :Likely the same person or small group of people. The [[Special:Ipblocklist|IP Block List]] shows multiple attempts at accessing after the blocks. And (as you've probably noticed) it's all the same junk. I'm surprised they don't move on to less heavily patrolled waters. This place is pretty active, and their changed are undone fairly quickly (unless they're happy having the links in the history). I've dropped Joe a note, so hopefully it'll get dealt with). --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 17:07, 9 March 2006 (CST)<br /> ::Perhaps the expiry date of the blocks should be moved from 'a week' to 'indefinitely.'--[[User:Noneofyourbusiness|Noneofyourbusiness]] 15:05, 10 March 2006 (EST)<br /> :::Generally we're pretty cautious about handing out indefinite blocks. However, I guess a 10+ strikes and you're out policy probably wouldn't be considered all that rash. I was tempted to do indefinite blocks on these guys earlier, but I was pretty annoyed at the time and didn't want to rush to judgement. However, since a voice of reason agrees (and I've had some time to cool off) then I'll set about with the block fest. It'll take a bit... --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 13:47, 10 March 2006 (CST)<br /> ::::Done. (Also... I'm archiving, so everything older than this thread is getting wiped. Don't be alarmed.) --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 14:09, 10 March 2006 (CST)<br /> :::::For future reference, it is O.K. by me if you block spammers indefinitely. Also, I am setting up a process where people have to authenticate their e-mail addresses prior to editing, so that should be up fairly soon. Just FYI. More at 11:05. :-) -- [[User:Zantor|Zantor]] 14:52, 10 March 2006 (CST)<br /> <br /> == Note to Self ==<br /> When going on a blocking spree... don't start with yourself. It is interesting to note that the block in no way affects your ability to block, however. You just can't edit. Sometimes you have to learn things the hard way. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 14:33, 10 March 2006 (CST)</div>
