Content 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.

Content 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?

Content smiley3.gif 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.

Content 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.

Content Also, I added another sticky to my page.

Are YOU a supporter of Classic Gaming?

Content 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. :)

Content 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.

Post Info Drifting 17:57, 18 August 2007 (EDT)
Content 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.
Post Info Xylaquin 17:24, 18 August 2007 (EDT)
Content 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...
