I have been receiving emails stating that a member has made changes to the site (on a page I am monitoring). Also, one member received a message purportedly sent by me. It was addressed to this member in two different email addresses, one of which I never use (it was a Yahoo email address).

I have checked this wiki and we are still the only two members, and it shows no messages.

What is going on

Early this morning an account was registered on the Zombie Survival and Defence Wiki. Within three hours 663 pages were created and filled with links to spam websites.

I am almost certain that this a spam bot.

Following the dilligent work of one of my moderators the pages have been removed, but the waste of time was ridiculous and unacceptable.

An obvious solution was to restrict the site to writers only, which I have done, however this will hamper growth in the long run and can only serve as a temporary solution.

In lieu of this I am making two suggestions to Wetpaint :

1.) A PROPER IP ban system.

Banning anonymous trolls is one thing, however why can we not I.P. ban registered users accounts?
They can easily create multiple accounts which gives trolls/spammers etc. unlimited power against the actions of our moderator team.

My staff and I have discussed this issue with you in the past. However all we got was information about how to IP ban anonymous edits.

If we are to combat these more advanced spam bots and protect our users then we NEED access to stronger, more permenant powers regarding IP bans.

2.) Greater scrutiny in the creation of accounts and editing.

Currently siging up a wetpaint account is almost as easy as it is to create a Wetpaint site. I wish to see more security features against spam bots.

Also, I would like all sites to have an option to limit the amount of content a user can upload within a certain time constraint.

Wetpaint staff have always been attentive in the past to problems, and I trust that they will avail to ensure the Wetpaint Community is safe.

Thank you for your time spent reading this and for any resopnses which you make,

Marsden.

If you agree with the above then please show your support whilst we wait for Wetpaint's response.

all be aware that you may encounter a few messages that don't have a X and it to exit out of it. Be calm
and keep a cool head what you do: If it pops up if they have a yes or a no on the popup press control alt and delete at the same time. your windows task manager will come up. click on the spam and hit end task till it goes away.

On my site I block a person because they keep on sending me the same thing. And then they do it to other people so I ban them.
But then they get a new account.
So I ban that person, too, which is really the original spammer.
Then someone ELSE does it. So I give them many warnings many times...
And I ban them.
Then someone WHO OBVIOUSLY HASN'T READ THE RULES FROM THE STAFF does it.
So I give them a warning, and then they stop.

And then all of the spamming stops.

That was a pretty odd time.
Just saying.
^-^
