Admin woes
 

Okay, so for about a year now, I've been strolling through Wiki pages, and having had the sysop privileges for almost as long, this is the first instance of this kind of occurance annoying me.

:zomg::zomg::zomg::zomg::zomg:

This bot is pro. In a period of 2 minutes, ... I don't even want to count how many spam attempts it made. The most annoying thing is most of them spawned new pages. This is why:

SO I clicked on every single entry via the Recent changes list and manually deleted all those pages. Took quite some time and made my index finger hurt.

Triumph, where the hell were you. :hulksmash:


Is there anything that can be done to prevent this kind of attack? IP blocks won't work. It happened today, it will definitely happen again. Next time, your self-proclaimed Wiki Head Admin Triumph will do the honour.

This is a rant, but it definitely belongs to the Wiki section.

Wow, some people are just a waste of human life.

Great work, Icy. Take a Vоdка break, you deserve it! xD

Wow, you fixed it all. GREAT JOB!!!

Now, just relax, you deserve a one month break... or something...

Good Job, Icy! *gives a thumbs up and smiles*

Wow... I guess we're so good that we now get hack attacks by professionals.

I'm guessing FiestaHQ. Or could it be... Outspark? :lost:

Can we just restrict access of who can edit the Wiki? (Ie. Only people who have registered.)

People could still just register a bunch of accounts, then spam up the wiki.

How about a time restriction on edits per hour/minute? If possible.

Holy crap.. they nuked the wiki lol.

Well if it's a bot, I'm sure it has plenty of time on its hands.

However, if we did added an image identification portion to the registration...?

OMG you had to fix all that manually?!

Good job Icy... -gives alcohol-
