| Unbanned him. Go to the Special Page about Blocked IPs and Accounts, click unban next to the member.

| You're right Nevar, when I saw it I suspected it, but on further inspection I noticed the 4th character is uncapitalized and the name does kinda make sence. Problem is, I'm not sure how to unban a member :(
I'll change their userpage.

| Are you sure Selwyn was a spambot? His name was quite different from the others... and I noticed in the recent changes he was "suspected" of being one.

| Wow, I had no idea we had this many spambots. I'd assumed we'd only had a few based on how many was actually attacked. Maybe we should change our registration process.
EDIT: Notice that all of the spambots have 6 character names?

|  That's a lot.
Also, should we delete the "All Outdoors" category, for now anyway? Because there is one map, and it isn't all outdoors.

| New Category: Wiki - Spambot
On visiting the Userlist, I noticed that there were around 50 other spambot accounts lying in wait untill they strike yet another talk page with links. On a more positive note, there also a new sticky I made. Since some of us have All the TimeSplitters game, I've created a "All" sticky which states this. It saves people using 3 stickies.

| Sorry I can't be of any help to you guys on this matter, I'm not really Admin material... :(
In other news, I found somebody who (evidently) discovered the "Play as Monkey in Monkey Assistant" glitch. :)

| Bots aren't clever enough to go and email an email address with their email. Are they?
I come on here loads. Just because it's in my chain of websites I visit, so, yeah, we can do it fairly quickly, but it's really annoying.

| Hmm, maybe. But how are we going to be able to tell who's a bot and who's not based solely on an e-mail address. Granted, this system would allow us to block the most obvious offenders, but we might block out some legit users in the process. It's a bit of a conundrum, really. I really don't think we have enough of a problem with spambots yet to warrant this system. At the moment, we seem to be able to reverse their vandalism fairly quickly.

| Well ILHI and I have just banned two spambots. These things are trouble as there's no option to enable bot-stoppers in registration (like "type these characters"). Registration is disabled at the moment. Perhaps we should implement a system where new registrants email an email address and are then registered by an Admin; this wouldn't be a lot of work since not many people join frequently.
But having to email to join does deter new members...
