Wiki Ippo--Spam in comments
I had to disable the comments feature because of the amount of spam hitting our articles through there. The comments come from random IP addresses, though I've isolated about three that come up more than once (and blocked them), and they also come at irregular intervals. Go back about one week from the time of this post in the activity log and it's all there. Luckily the spam doesn't show up on talk pages.

What's interesting is that the wiki hasn't had any vandalism since I became admin three months ago, but after the comment spam, we had a vandal who made an account and posted trash today, plus a handful of random IP addresses who felt the need to include foul language on some articles throughout the week.

Magic City
We have had a spate of spam comments in the last few days on the ''Magic City' wiki. These seem similar to badly spelled spam comments I encountered before on Boardwalk Empire wiki about a year ago. I am an admin for the site and am just about to begin cleaning up but would appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks in advance.--Opark 77 (talk) 16:00, August 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * I have deleted all of the spam comments and blocked several of the IP addresses involved so there may not be anything more for you guys to do but perhaps it was worth making you aware of.--Opark 77 (talk) 16:42, August 19, 2012 (UTC)

Travel Wiki
http://travel.wikia.com/wiki/Wikia_Travel

Seems to be seeing a uptick in spam. There are pages being created that are off topic for the wiki ex: http://travel.wikia.com/wiki/Duchess_And_The_Thomas_O_Malley_Movies could someone take a peek and give it a good cleaning?

Thanks!

Spamming for badges -- User:Alfex
User:Alfex has been already blocked due to his spamming for badges on: however he still continues with it on: He added pages into categories, even if the category didn't suit. Also he added a lot of useless pictures in pages. Now, he mostly just adds and removes text on his user page every day to get Contribute to the wiki every day for X days badges.

 * Why aren't you contacting the local admins then?  11:28, August 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hello Leviathan_89, on Sas3Guide Wiki, there is only one admin, and he hasn't been active since 11 November 2011. Also, when local admins block Alfex, he simply starts to spam on a different wiki. We warned him many many times on Bloons Wiki, but he didn't stop. After we had blocked him, he just moved to out friendly projects Bloons Creation Wiki and Bloons Conception Wiki, where he spammed too, and he has been blocked there too. So, as I know, he has spammed at least on 6 different wiki projects. That is why I think, that problems with Alfex should be solved globally. -- Spike144 (talk) 11:52, August 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi, this is not really something that is within our scope&mdash;I think you should contact Staff on this issue.TK-999 (talk) 12:46, August 27, 2012 (UTC)

Spam blogs
Over at the Entertainment wiki. White Flash 07:41, September 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Sorted. TK-999 (talk) 11:03, September 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * P.S.: the local admins didn't edit there for a while but they are still active, so I think you should contact them and discuss among the community the nomination of new admins, if the present ones aren't planning to edit on your wiki.  11:24, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

User has done nothing but post spam blogs on The Hunger Games Wiki. Deleted and user blocked. Broken Sphere (Talk) 17:08, September 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hey, if the user or IP has been sorted locally, you should rather use Report:Users and IPs needing checked. Thanks! TK-999 (talk) 10:16, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

Entertainment Wiki
The main Entertainment Wiki is still getting a lot of spam blogs. I am not an admin there and wondered if you guys could help out?--Opark 77 (talk) 00:14, September 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * Can you post links to the users who are spamming, please? And you probably want to do that in this page.  14:53, September 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * It looks like most of the spam was taken care of... if you see other users posting spam blogs, report them in this page.  14:56, September 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * I have posted links to the latest user who is spamming on the page you linked.--Opark 77 (talk) 13:32, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

"Good point. I hadn't tuhoght about it quite that way. :)"
Hello,

There is a frequent spam over the net we regulary face. Some bots regulary write messages like this:
 * "Good point. I hadn't tuhoght about it quite that way. :)"
 * "You really found a way to make this whole process eisaer."
 * "Tocuwhdon! That's a really cool way of putting it!" OR "Dag nbabit good stuff you whippersnappers!"
 * "Yours is a ceelvr way of thinking about it."
 * "Haahhaha. I'm not too bright today. Great post!"
 * "I'm irmpesesd by your writing. Are you a professional or just very knowledgeable?"
 * "Very true! Makes a caghne to see someone spell it out like that. :)"

They are easily recognisable since they are always badly spelled and it is always the same sentences but this list is not exhaustive. Tell me if you want to receive more sentences. You can see an example here. The contributor is always an IP but never the same one. Ftiercel 05:45, September 14, 2012


 * As I mentioned on the other page, you must report the IPs here. Telling us the phrases doesn't help us or you, because they change every single day. -- Austin (Talk) 05:47, September 14, 2012 (UTC)

Help! spambot active
159.205.93.203 (contribs@dofuswiki) is currently making a large volume of edits, apparently replacing every page on Dofus Wiki with a fake "you must update your Flash" page. This includes a link to a suspicious executable. Please block ASAP! Will likely need bot-assisted cleanup as well (example diff). Rigel Kent (talk) 23:36, September 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the block. Should probably clean the spam edits out of histories, though. Link's probably malware. Rigel Kent (talk) 00:05, September 23, 2012 (UTC)

Bullying
Hi, this user spammed and vandalised various pages on Merlin Wiki, and is attacking people with harmful language. I banned him on Merlin Wiki but he is now using Community Central to get through to me. You can see here this user, and an anonymous friend of his who was writing rude messages in German on people's walls. Can you please deal with this user. They may try to change their IPs, is it possible to globally block allow edits to the Wiki in their IP range? Thank you. 14:32, October 3, 2012 (UTC)Dryuuu
 * I have handled this situation by leaving a message with the user here - http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:440266. If you see him come back to your wiki to evade your block, please let us know. We traditionally don't block ranges until it becomes clear that the user is indeed using a range to evade. --DaNASCAT (help forum | blog) 19:35, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

Spam Accounts?
Over the past week, the Golden Sun Wiki has received a couple of accounts that I think might be spam accounts (I am the admin there). Can you please check the IP addresses of the account and tell me whether or not they are from the same/similar IP address (I got redirected here from e-mail)? --Thenewguy34( Other ) 11:01, October 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Could you please link us to the accounts in question. --Callofduty4 (talk) 12:34, October 9, 2012 (UTC)

The proposed spam accounts are:
 * Toomai, You Are To Be Exciled
 * Subspace Army 04
 * Sonic Super Star
 * BrawlerDude
 * Go Away RRabbit42

Do any of them share the same/similar IPs? --Thenewguy34( Other ) 00:08, October 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * They're a returning crosswiki vandal. I've taken care of the instances that are him and put in a block on one of his IP ranges. Hopefully that'll stop him from pestering you there. -- sulfur (talk) 02:41, October 10, 2012 (UTC)
