[12:56:17] Pinging Miraheze-IRC / MH-Discord is pointless [12:56:25] They won't reply to you :) [12:57:51] @Spookreeeno yeah, I think it was an accident since Discord auto-inserts the ping (you have to manually remove the ping). It's kind of a sub-optimal user experience design on Discord's part. They should at least disable auto pings on reply by default, and allow users to enable that if they want [13:01:07] @CVT: can one of you lock the spambots I just hit with a meta sized hammer? [13:01:17] JohnLewis: / Reception123: ^ [13:01:58] @CVT and also https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Erectile_pills_without_a_doctor_prescription (since it's a little ways up and you may not have seen it) [13:01:59] [ Global account information for Erectile pills without a doctor prescription - Miraheze Meta ] - meta.miraheze.org [13:03:30] will do [13:06:28] ty 🙂 [13:10:49] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth?target=Erectile+dysfunction+drugs This MAY be a spam-bot given that the username seems suspicious. I know I should go easy on these names, but still.. [13:10:50] [ Global account information for Erectile dysfunction drugs - Miraheze Meta ] - meta.miraheze.org [13:12:17] If it's true or not, it could be an indication that it's a spam-bot given that it was created 5 or 6 hours ago. [13:13:50] It's a spam bot [13:14:04] @CVT [13:15:02] :BanHammerMH: [14:44:14] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth?target=Erectile+dysfunction This could be another spam-bot that went unnoticed. [14:44:15] [ Global account information for Erectile dysfunction - Miraheze Meta ] - meta.miraheze.org [14:46:21] I think that account "Erectile dysfunction" might actually be another spam-bot, but correct me if I'm wrong. [14:51:05] > https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth?target=Erectile+dysfunction This could be another spam-bot that went unnoticed. @DarkMatterMan4500 Yeah that looks fine to lock as well. It looks recently created, today in fact, though. So @CVT ^ [14:51:09] [ Global account information for Erectile dysfunction - Miraheze Meta ] - meta.miraheze.org [15:01:11] Urgh can they just stop [15:02:01] @Reception123 These spam bots can just go away and never return. [15:03:17] I can see that it is locked now. [15:03:35] Yeah, hopefully @Void who knows regex well can blacklist them [15:03:48] Good thinking. [15:16:20] Hopefully @Void can also see if a rangeblock will be possible for the erectile dysfunction pill-hawking spambots, too. But the regex addition should be helpful. [16:46:28] Welcome HeartsDo. If you need to report spam or abuse, please feel free to notify any of the voiced (+v) users, if it contains personal information you can pm them, or email us at cvt [at] miraheze.org [21:02:48] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth?target=Buy+erectile+dysfunction+pills That spam-bot came back again, although it doesn't exist on the Meta Miraheze wiki. [21:02:49] [ Global account information for Buy erectile dysfunction pills - Miraheze Meta ] - meta.miraheze.org [21:05:49] What do you do for users who violate policies that don't register on Meta? [21:13:39] @DarkMatterMan4500 Well we rely on user reports like yours above for such spambot accounts and Username Policy violations, but even if they don't register an account on Meta, CentralAuth auto-adds them to Loginwiki, so we do monitor the Loginwiki new user creations and also all new users, regardless of where created, are logged in #cvt-feed. Eventually, though, most user accounts do end up creating a Meta account as so many links are set to [21:13:39] Meta pages by default so just one clickthrough while logged in and poof they have a Meta user account [21:15:06] If only if it was easier said than done. But nonetheless, The spam bot has been blocked locally. [21:16:31] @DarkMatterMan4500 Yeah. I'll ping CVT to this. [21:16:32] I also took it a step further of hiding the username from that wiki that I'm always active on. [21:16:55] oh, by revision deleting, that's good [21:17:09] .mhca Buy erectile dysfunction pills [21:17:09] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Buy_erectile_dysfunction_pills [21:17:29] @CVT Spam only account needing whacking; likely abusing multiple accounts, too [21:20:51] How are you guys going to lock it if it doesn't exist on Meta? [21:21:45] @DarkMatterMan4500 CentralAuth is global, and is controlled from Meta. [21:22:05] Ohhhhhh. That makes TOTALLY PERFECT sense. [21:22:05] JohnLewis: ^ [21:22:49] lock [21:22:53] Ty [21:23:41] JohnLewis: could we set blacklist/af to just stop people signing up with .*erect.* in their nick? [21:23:48] Username even [21:24:30] Would be a classic Scunthorpe problem [21:24:37] ? [21:24:44] @JohnLewis What's a Scunthorpe problem? [21:24:59] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem [21:25:00] [WIKIPEDIA] Scunthorpe problem | "The Scunthorpe problem is the unintentional blocking of websites, e-mails, forum posts or search results by a spam filter or search engine because their text contains a string of letters that appear to have an obscene or otherwise unacceptable meaning. Names, abbreviations, and technical terms are most..." [21:25:14] ah, thanks :) [21:25:25] Ah [21:25:37] I've read that before. [21:25:53] I wonder how many unlocked accounts have erect in their username [21:26:04] yeah, I did think about that, but any `sysop` could also create a user with a legitimate use case for `erectile` in their username? [21:26:08] Who knows? [21:26:21] @Spookreeeno Not many, I suspect. :P [21:26:34] We could check the globalusers table [21:26:52] JohnLewis: if you got access? Mind? [21:27:30] @Spookreeeno Won't be able to see hidden users, but looking in CentralAuth, I see only six users beginning with Erec*, and they're all locked. [21:27:38] Something like SELECT count(*) from globaluser where gu_name LIKE %erect% and gu_locked = 0; [21:27:49] Should work [21:27:54] I could, but I'd rather deal with LDAP and mail [21:27:56] But I don't trust my sql [21:27:59] Ack [21:28:05] I'll look when I do the cw thing [21:28:16] .in 32mins run an sql [21:28:16] Spookreeeno: Okay, will remind at 2020-10-25 - 22:00:16UTC [21:28:37] @Spookreeeno Just use CentralAuth on-wiki. Numbers shouldn't be materially different from an SQL DB query, I suspect [21:29:04] dmehus: central auth doesn't allow anything before erect [21:29:14] It'll only search after erect [21:29:37] @Spookreeeno, ah, true, that's a good point [21:30:03] Can't you do those informational only queries with `sql.php` though? [21:30:05] Sql should be fairly quick at that though [21:30:09] I can [21:30:17] That's why I set a reminder [21:30:20] ah [21:30:22] gotcha [21:30:24] heh [21:30:50] * Spookreeeno will be on his laptop in half an hour [21:31:02] * Spookreeeno hopes to be asleep by midnight [21:31:09] * Spookreeeno has a few things to do [21:31:28] * Spookreeeno is also helping fosshost with an outage on another node luckily not affecting us [21:34:10] Aren't you guys just getting sick and tired of them spam-bots flooding this community? [21:34:49] Yes [21:34:58] But we got to deal with them [21:35:14] So am I. [21:35:33] Even trolls flood this community, but we deal with them differently.
