Endless IT question spam at wow.answers
These spam questions have been a long time problem at WoW Answers. Is there nothing more that can be done? Last time I posted something here, as far as I can tell, it just got deleted with no response whatsoever. Fandyllic 20:21, March 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * It may be possible for an abuse filter to be set to stop certain blacklisted IT terms from being used. Could you provide a list of terms that you've noticed over the times? ~ty  13:12, March 15, 2013 (UTC)

Summary Spam being inserted in articles/double spam
2 Anonymous users in the past week have inserted gibberish into pages on Wiki Ippo. The text they insert is also left in the article summary. These contributions are all thousands of characters long. I've rolled them back so they are no longer available, but here is a link to one of the anonymous accounts (the most recent): Link. I suspect more of these will come.

Kinda clever. User is creating blogs that appear to be fanfics, but they contain links to spam site. They did it on more than just the Gravity Falls wiki (few links provided). Requesting VSTF checks it out.

Example of spam: here and here and here

Dragon Story Wiki
Recently, we have had issues with spammers who continuously insert links that advertise a hacking site. I haven't actually clicked on the link to check out the content in case they have malicious software embedded, but our wiki does not condone cheats or hacks.

The spammers are persistent and seem to be using a proxy or something to generate a bunch of similar but different IPs, so blocking them isn't useful. We have also tried protecting the main page and its templates, but the spammers continue to insert the link in random templates or pages all over our wiki.

It is against our interests to permanently protect pages or templates, and the moment that our temporary protection expires (even if it's two weeks or so), the spammers resurface.

They seem to be advertising the same link, so we would like to request a site blacklist if possible.

Link to our wiki

The link we want blacklisted: http://g4mehacks.blogspot.com/2013/03/dragon-story-hack-elite.html
