 * Thank you.
 * Do you prefer those with admin status to delete the spam pages or rather report the IPs without linking the spam pages? -- Bunai82 (talk) 20:32, December 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Better to put them on Report:Users and IPs needing checked since I saw other accounts from the same IP. 21:07, December 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright. Will do in the future. -- Bunai82 (talk) 22:13, December 3, 2012 (UTC)

Targeting vim.wikia.com
It looks someone is playing with a spambot and targeting w:c:vim (see 20 pages deleted since December 5 in the deletion log, and 10 Russian spam pages in w:c:vim:Special:RecentChanges that I have not yet bothered to delete). Is there anything that can be done? All the titles have three or more hyphens, so a simple blacklist regex might be enough to persuade them to go elsewhere (and the regex could be removed after a week). Can a blacklist be applied to a single wiki? Thanks. JohnBeckett (talk) 07:48, December 9, 2012 (UTC)

Ned Wikia
Hi. Please can I report a few spam pages which have been created?


 * http://ned.wikia.com/wiki/Guide_to:_Field_Trips,_Signs_%26_Weasels
 * http://ned.wikia.com/wiki/Title
 * http://ned.wikia.com/wiki/Heavy_Weapons_Guy

I also recommend this user is blocked.

I have cleared up what I can see, I just can't delete the pages. Rollback rights would have been helpful here. I'm not sure I completely fixed the main page there though.

Thanks. --Spongebob456 (Talk) 07:31, December 12, 2012 (UTC)

DragonVale Wiki
Howdy VSTF. Just want to report a spammer over DragonVale Wiki. Please put a temporary block on this user: http://dragonvale.wikia.com/wiki/User:ZDionS just for him to pause his actions for the day. Thank you! JustinDaOne (talk) 08:23, December 27, 2012 (UTC) ~

Endless IT question spam at wow.answers
World of Warcraft Answers still gets endless IT-related questions as spam. I never got any definitive answers on what was being done to prevent it or what I could do. MediaWiki:Badwords does not work. VegaDark nuked the original section report concerning this problem on 23:04, July 16, 2012‎. --Fandyllic 06:40, December 29, 2012 (UTC)

Spambot attacks
Please protect the Cyber Nations Wiki from anonymous editing for a couple days. We're being attacked by those ridiculous spambots again (the last six blocks). Thanks, Bobogoobo (talk) 00:34, December 31, 2012 (UTC)

Please add New York Search Engine Optimization Company to the filter
w:c:fastmail:How_search_engine_optimization_is_done%3F

The above is the fourth spam posted to our wiki in the past three months, all promoting the same Search Engine "optimization" (cheating) company. I've been expecting this, since a user called Andre-NYC registered a week ago without immediately posting something (indeed, he hasn't posted yet; of course, since he could be innocent and the username an unfortunate coincidence, I haven't taken any action — yet).

So, could you please block the URL used in this spam. If you could then delete the spam as well, it would save me a bit of time. — RobertATfm (talk) 21:01, January 2, 2013 (UTC)
 * Deleted the page and that spam will hopefully not come back. ~ty  23:08, January 2, 2013 (UTC)
