[07:24:38] Anyone able to entertain a topic for how https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgAccountCreationThrottle can be bypassed? [07:26:24] "It is currently set to 6 on Wikimedia Foundation wikis" A sock farm just appeared on kowiki. One account would create 15 accounts, the next account would create another 15, repeat [07:29:07] different IP addresses? [07:37:40] You must remember how user creation is limited. It's a rate limited amount. [07:48:21] Bsadowski1: Rate limit is per 24 hours, is it not? [07:48:30] yeah [07:48:59] i don't get how two users did 15 in an hour then. Even if they jumped IPs, the main account should hit the rate limit? [07:50:51] Afraid it doesn't work like that. [07:50:55] :p [07:51:14] oh? so it is the IP factor then [13:39:31] Oh, here's a question. He allegedly used multiple IPs. Not sure yet, but since account creation disable didn't work, he kept changing IP. [20:04:23] <[coffee]> quick question... what instructions were given to Nocturnal306 about their request for AWB? [20:04:34] <[coffee]> just want to review how we just handled something in -en-help [20:05:51] [coffee], you mean they got instructions in this channel and you want to know what they were? [20:06:08] <[coffee]> only if the instructions were anything like return to -en-help... if that wasn't said I don't need to know anything [20:08:09] <[coffee]> oh wait... I see the channel is logged [20:08:11] * [coffee] clicks log [20:08:36] <[coffee]> ah I see he never entered here [20:08:38] <[coffee]> weird [20:08:59] <[coffee]> we directed him over here and he reappeared [20:09:06] <[coffee]> just thought it was a feedback loop of a form [20:09:12] that's why I'm confused [20:09:17] <[coffee]> can't blame you [20:09:18] <[coffee]> lol [20:09:21] <[coffee]> now I am too [20:09:22] <[coffee]> :P [20:09:24] he doesn't show up in my logs either [20:10:16] * [coffee] apologizes for the confusion [20:10:26] <[coffee]> heh I'm used to most of our channels that don't have logs [20:15:15] no worries
