User pages
I realize I started a horrible trend when I redirected User:Glench -> Glench and User:Shoofle -> Shoofle. I did that because I thought the glench/shoofle/gloofle mini-meme was cute and harmless. Perhaps too cute and harmless.
Now we have shitloads of user pages that aren't really user pages. root, creature, ThatGuy and probably a few more. On the one hand, I think these pages should be moved to the User namespace. On the other hand, standard wiki policy is Don't Fuck With Other People's User Pages.
Actually Creature and Root/Cerise are cool enough to have their own pages, but ThatGuy is not. So I'll move his. --\(☣∪☣)/ (talk)(contribs) 15:46, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- I always thought that standard wiki policy was that you can mess with the user page itself, but not any subpages in the userspace. Elyscape 20:19, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
I never really payed attention to this. I'll go move mine to User:Reefstiz. Thanks for alerting me about this. -Reefstiz
The "comment guy"
Just look at the History for this article. There's an edit war between me and 74.12.128.20 on one side, and some moron who uses a new IP address each time and likes to remove the "Alack, a wiki" section and add "commentN," above the ToC. What the hell? Daedalus 12:42, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
Can We Block 64.191.5.133?
He/She/It/They keep editing the frontpage and wiki-spamming.
Deeper revision
I brought this back to a version by Mewyn some time ago as it seemed the "Things that are here" section was a casualty in the war against spambots. Hope I didn't delete any valid edits, please check if you edited the front page recently. (this is Ollie, don't feel like logging in) 69.228.128.209
Double edit
Sorry about the double edit there. I had trouble finding a revision date without all of the garbled spam. Instead, I have just deleted the spam. I claim the IP right before my username edit, as I hadn't been logged in at the time of the first edit.- Val 10:26, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
Can we get a protection (user edits only) on the front page if that's where the brunt of vandalism is occurring? Ollie 19:21, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
Do all wikis have this degree of constant spam attack? I've never seen anything quite like it.
Another goddamn spam attack
Just did some revert/fixings :S It was 74.55.158.66 . This seems like the work of some automaton. Palomides 00:47, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
Spammers
Feel free to drop a note on my talk page, or pop into #xkcdwiki, to report spammers to me, so I can block them. IceKarma 01:30, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
Can you please please please turn on the captchas and stuff so that 90% of the edits aren't spam and spam reverts? Eule 20:31, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
