[00:08:00] It's literally an anime character. Worst thing that user is doing is spoiling the end of a season. [00:08:47] @Void Oh. Thanks for clearing it all up. [00:28:08] Here, @𝐂.𝐒𝐲𝐝𝐞 [00:30:36] <𝐂.𝐒𝐲𝐝𝐞> https://csydes.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/WesleyCape5 https://csydes.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/RenateNguyen961 These accounts are most likely the same person or two people in league with each other. I really should find the time to set up an AbuseFilter to catch their kinds of spam.

Not sure exactly, but most spam is caught by the global abuse filter, at least on wikis without the Moderation extension [02:40:14] [ User contributions for WesleyCape5 - C.Syde's Wiki ] - csydes.miraheze.org [02:40:15] [ User contributions for RenateNguyen961 - C.Syde's Wiki ] - csydes.miraheze.org [02:43:21] <𝐂.𝐒𝐲𝐝𝐞> Problem is that I had to allow Emailconfirmed Users to have their edits automatically approved to prevent having to review too many edits. But I may need to rethink things through and decide whether to set up an Abuse filter to catch those edits, or remove the ability to bypass moderation from Emailconfirmed Users. [02:44:49] <𝐂.𝐒𝐲𝐝𝐞> @Doug [02:46:54] <𝐂.𝐒𝐲𝐝𝐞> I don't think it is having the desired effect anyway, because global bots such as the MediaWiki Bot are still being treated like unregistered users, so while they are able to make edits without the ability to edit pages, their edits aren't automatically approved even though the MediaWiki Bot has a confirmed email. [02:47:35] <𝐂.𝐒𝐲𝐝𝐞> I really wish that there was a way you could force global bots and scripts to show up as registered. [03:18:53] > I really wish that there was a way you could force global bots and scripts to show up as registered. @C.Syde65#8270 wym [03:19:09] Why is it when i quote you, it never pings xD [03:42:39] > > I really wish that there was a way you could force global bots and scripts to show up as registered. > @𝐂.𝐒𝐲𝐝𝐞 [03:42:42] ¯_(ツ)_/¯ [03:42:57] im more curious as to why the ping was inside q uote block [03:58:56] It isnt for me [12:10:26] And just a week ago, I set up 2 new abuse filters for Crappy Games Wiki so we could combat the vandalism at its core. [13:04:59] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth?target=Johnny+Rebel This guy has vandalized a userpage on Terrible TV Shows Wiki, and wrote this: https://awfulmovies.miraheze.org/wiki/Blog:A_note_for_Crs3011_by_da_no_good_Spain_is_so_strange_lol https://terribletvshows.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=User:Crs3011&diff=prev&oldid=83358 He also vandalized someone's userpage by making very racist remarks. I should also [13:04:59] point out that he also admitted to being Spain is so strange on one of the blogs he wrote on one of those wikis. I will be providing screenshots in a minute.

I wasn't aware of this, but this could be because User:MediaWiki default isn't a global [16:48:04] account? It's a system user, and may not be a true user account, though this is just speculation. At any rate, it shouldn't be editing your wiki, really, for much else besides the initial Main Page. Even page deletion scripts use User:Delete page script > Problem is that I had to allow Emailconfirmed Users to have their edits automatically approved to prevent having to review too many edits. But I may need to rethink things through and [16:48:05] decide whether to set up an Abuse filter to catch those edits, or remove the ability to bypass moderation from Emailconfirmed Users. Hrm. Possibly. I'm not sure what's best, tbh. [16:50:18] Thanks, @Reception123 for taking the 🔨 to the above two spambots. 😛 [16:50:30] you're welcome 🙂 [18:00:38] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth?target=I+like+abusing+multiple+accounts Just why do people like to make very bizarre accounts like this one? [18:00:41] [ Global account information for I like abusing multiple accounts - Miraheze Meta ] - meta.miraheze.org [18:02:47] For me, I don't think it's enough to issue a global lock unless something else pops up on the account. [18:03:06] @DarkMatterMan4500 That one is probably an edge case. It is likely trolling, but unless we have on-wiki proof that they've likely abused multiple accounts, we can't conclusively conclude that. I'd probably wait and see what contributions they make, then action accordingly [18:10:57] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth?target=Everybody+I+like+to+pee+pee This one again. But this time, it made a blog simply trolling. Yes, it's not enough for a lock either. [18:11:00] [ Global account information for Everybody I like to pee pee - Miraheze Meta ] - meta.miraheze.org [18:12:14] But that username though..... It's just bizarre. [18:13:52] @Doug [18:16:35] @DarkMatterMan4500 That one is also an edge case, but using a vulgar slang term for a part of the human anatomy isn't really acceptable. I've conferred with @Reception123 regarding that, and he's going to warn them. If they don't request a username change within a few weeks, then they can be locked as an obvious troll.

[20:48:36] @Toppy Thanks for also clarifying. [21:07:53] @Doug I wonder why system users aren't auto approved [21:08:07] And is that flagged revs?
