Icy has a spectacular aura aboutIcy has a spectacular aura about
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.





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.


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.

"You should never judge a book by it's cover unless you understand what you are getting into. But anyone with eyes can determine your kind rather easily. You and Triumph are of the same breed. Egotistical, narcissists who believe that numbers are some how important. It is one's love for something that truly determines who knows more and it is without a doubt that my love for the mage class trumps yours any day."

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

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

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.

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...?
