What to do here
Hey Sulfer, thanks for all of the spam you have reported. If you wanted to take the "next step up", or so to speak, then you can take a spam page and do the following: Thanks for your interest in fighting spam across Wikia, and I hope that this helps to give you some idea of what's going on around here. Happy editing, Ajraddatz Talk 14:11, April 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * First, check the user/IP that created it. Once you have done that, go to Users and IPs to be checked or blocked and under the  header, put either  or  . Of course, replace the Username with the spammer's username, and the blablabla with the IP's IP address ;). The only reason that there are two templates is because there are different extensions for checking an IP and a user; Special:Multilookup for IPs and Special:Lookupcontribs for users.
 * If you think needed, you can also put the username/IP in the blocking section, using either or , and under the respective sub-headings.
 * After that, take the title of the spam (We'll use Test at the title for now). Go to Google, and search either  or Test, with the site being Wikia. If you find any results other than the spam, then there are False Positives. If there isn't anything, then simply add the title onto Titles for blacklisting and Titles to be deleted, with a bullet point. (Example: *Test )
 * If there were FPs, then you can just add a link to the spam in the deletion list.


 * I'm slowly working on it. The two I put up this am were to specifically see if the links themselves could be blocked, since the spam had been stopped already. Give me another week (or so), and I should have this figured out. :) -- sulfur 14:59, April 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not trying to force you into doing anything, just letting you know for when you want to get more involved with this (which you have showed interest it). There's nothing wrong with what you are doing, so I apologize if my wording was forceful/not as polite as it should be. Thanks, Ajraddatz Talk 18:02, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

Random spam comments
I got more spam comments again, but it's much worse now. --Rayous(Talk) 03:54, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

Something's Wrong
You just globally blocked User:Jack Pistol for "vandalism." Jack is a good friend of mine, and never committed an act of vandalism. Jack and I both play Pirates Online, and he told me you globally blocked him. So, I'm hoping there was a mistake, because I'm willing to go to Community Central and argue for his unban. Infact, I'm already there. There's a user on Jack's main wiki who EXTREMELY dislikes Jack and could be posing as him, I can tell which is which because they write differently. Please shed some light on the situation either on my talk page or here. Thank you.

 * Responded on your POTCOPlayers talk page. -- sulfur 01:28, December 30, 2011 (UTC)

He can edit with his IP though. It says you blocked him, but he can use his IP... I don't know what happened. Could it be possible he's been hacked? Sometimes we have this problem with local blocks. Maybe you could globally block him and unblock him to see if that helps?

--John Breasly 01:29, December 30, 2011 (UTC)

If it helps, here's his IP:

198.54.202.246

-It's still John :P
 * Nope. Neither blocked. The thing that would help most would be the block ID that he sees (by my name) when he tries to edit. -- sulfur 01:41, December 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey Sulfur, sorry for all the trouble. It is me Jack Pistol, this morning when I got back on I was able to edit again but a few minutes ago when trying to make a blog it said I could not and came up with the same message as before. The weird thing is that right after that I could comment and edit pages. Yesterday when this started I could not comment but it said nothing about being blocked when trying to comment, it just said: " You cannot add any comments to this article." but when I checked my user page it said blocked and when I tried to go on chat or edit pages it said I was blocked. The main message I got that said you were the blocker only came up when I went to user management to see if I was blocked locally. I am going to upload an image of what I saw a few minutes ago:
 * [[File:JackBlocked.png]]


 * If I am unable to edit again, how can I contatc you or any staff? My IP was working yesterday ( which confuses me more ) but I am worried it might not today and I cannot use chat with an IP.


 * Thanks for the help

 * Your account is changing IP addresses. If you look at the IP in question right now (198.54.202.210), that is the IP that your machine picked up. That IP has been spewing spam messages (you know, those "you are so smart, I am so dumb" type ones) for the last week or so. So, someone on the network you're on is infected in that way. So, it appears that your network host bounces you around from IP to IP randomly, which is not a good thing at all. The best thing to do is to take note of the IP that has errors when you try to edit, and then tell your system to get a new IP address and try again. I'm going away for a couple of days, but if this continues to be a problem, post here again and I (or another VSTF member) will look into it further and see what else we can sort out. -- sulfur 13:14, December 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh no, I wish I saw this when you replied. I am not so good with IPs and that sort of stuff so I would have no clue how to do that. Nobody that I know of that is on our network uses Wikia besides me so my best guess is that they use a scrambler or something. I will just have to hope that it doesnt keep doing this until I can solve the problem.

Thanks!

My wiki is still being attacked.
I may be the admin,but I need help.(Hangingmanpeter0 23:18, January 7, 2012 (UTC))

Another wiki under attack
Hello,

Our wiki (link) is being attacked, and multiple spam pages were made, either with the name Krappenheoffer, NicestCareForce or NIGGESTCROOKFORCE as their page names. I thought perhaps we could get some help in deleting all these pages.

Many thanks,

AdmiralZhao007 14:07, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Deleted. -- sulfur 14:41, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

hi again
Not sure where to leave you a message but my nice and ultra cool user CureMisa is getting caught in a random IP ban. I'm admin of the Pretty Cure Wiki and she came to me and reported that she was getting a ban on 202.156.10.13 and I'm sure this is just because she may share an ISP with a spammer. She's helped me out alot for the past year and I want to see more of her work. Shadowneko 18:33, January 13, 2012 (UTC)

Answer to Question
I added the four IP addresses just to make sure they aren't really spammers and/or vandalizers.

Especially 98.193.222.177 and 174.49.5.247 as I received two separate emails Jan. 7 & 15, 2012 about a new temporary password on the Cute Mario Bros. Wiki (I came across it last month, which had started some vandalism on my talk page there.). ~ KinHikari "But you can call her Agent K." 19:42, January 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * K. Wasn't sure what the motivation behind it was. Next time, throw in a comment in the edit summary to let us know what we're looking for, as that usually helps us sort things out quickly. -- sulfur 20:04, January 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll keep that in mind the next time I send in a report. ~ KinHikari "But you can call her Agent K." 20:33, January 16, 2012 (UTC)

I received a third email regarding a new temporary password on the Cute Mario Bros. Wiki (this time it's IP 96.4.63.21). (What still surprises me is that an IP address is shown in the greeting in all three emails.) ~ KinHikari "But you can call her Agent K." 18:37, January 24, 2012 (UTC)

Please delete and block the curious sockpuppet on 2 wikis please
Since I saw you get rid of that curious sockpuppet's messages on wikis I do not use, He's back on the Harry Potter wiki and a meerkats wiki as well. Can you delete these messages and range block him please. Thank you.--Brainiac Adam 15:18, January 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * First off, calm down with the constant "range block" demands. Secondly, put in links to the contribs pages. It makes it easier and quicker to find. -- sulfur 17:06, January 26, 2012 (UTC)

Back on the Harry Potter wiki again
That stubborn vandal is at it again now framing one of my friends http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Brainiac_Adam Can you please block him? Thank you.--Brainiac Adam 10:45, January 27, 2012 (UTC)

He just will not give up! Sorry but can you block him again please http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/192.148.117.100 10:31, January 28, 2012 (UTC)

Oh and by the way, Mr Curious' behavior is geting worse as he is now impersonating my mother and uploaded a picture of the Rights Fighters (A movie me and my youth group made) on the Powerpuff Girls wiki http://powerpuff.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Brainiac_Adam%27s_Mammy Can you give him is global ban once again please?--Brainiac Adam 10:37, January 28, 2012 (UTC)

Bad news
I am sorry to say that Mr Curious' global ban has expired a now sent me a message on the meerkats wiki. See here http://meerkats.wikia.com/index.php?title=User_talk:Brainiac_Adam Can you block him again please?--Brainiac Adam 08:12, January 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * It hasn't expired. -- sulfur 12:11, January 31, 2012 (UTC)

Oh. But did you block that fraud anyway? Please do.--Brainiac Adam 16:14, January 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * The IP, yes. -- sulfur 16:28, January 31, 2012 (UTC)

Stop the Curious Vandal from getting admin rights
I have good news and bad news

The good news is that this week has been nice and quiet and I had not been attacked lately.

The bad news is that Mr Curious has escaped wikia prison again and came back as this http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User:CuriousWikian and although he hasn't messed with me (Yet!), now as this he's asking for admin rights, and I'm worried that if he gets it, he's going to upload inapropiate information about me such as pictures of me, articles about me and making fun of how I look and sound on Youtube, so can you give him back his global block if you can and make sure he doesn't become admin. Thank you--Brainiac Adam 17:03, February 11, 2012 (UTC)

Stop that stubborn brat
Mr. Curious' IP is back as this http://addamsfamily.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/122.109.228.30 Please get rid of him and my talk page there for me. Please?

Oh and because I don't use this wiki, please delete my talk page on this one as well http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Brainiac_Adam--Brainiac Adam 13:50, February 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * First -- stop calling him a brat. Second, don't worry about the talk page there.  If you want it removed, ask an admin there. -- sulfur 13:55, February 15, 2012 (UTC)

Back again
Mr Curious' IP is back again now as this http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/122.109.235.220 on the Sonic wiki and on the Banjo Kazooie Wiki http://banjokazooie.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/122.109.235.220 please block him and remove the talk pages there for me. Thanks--Brainiac Adam 13:58, February 16, 2012 (UTC)

He's back on PPG wiki
Good news, Mr Curious has not been messing with me on wikia so far, however, he's sending appaulling messages to other users on the Powerpuff girls wiki. Here he is now http://powerpuff.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/122.109.252.205 Can you please block him? Unless he's already been blocked? Thanks. Oh and one more thing, he's now requesting admin rights on the wikis I go on. Please make sure the admins there know that he is a troll and must not get them. Thanks --Brainiac Adam 15:31, February 25, 2012 (UTC)

Stop Global Blocking Me You Scum
Because you global blocked me indefinetly I have to now start a whole NEW Wikia Username. Now I can have admin rights if I want to. Now leave me alone. I a nothing wrong in the first place and STOP GLOBAL BLOCKING MY IP ADDRESSES. 3 Months is too much and I am getting to a time where I can get an IP Address that lasts for many weeks and it'll go back to changing quickly when it's December. Now leave me alone.

Mr. Curious is INSANE!!!
Mr Curious behavior is getting worse and worse! He's escaping to community central as this http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/MrQuietFan45

Then he's messing with me on a wiki I don't use http://meerkats.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Brainiac_Adam

And his behavior has got 100000 times worse as he has created an account created for the sole purpose for harrassing me as this http://mrmen.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Must_Destroy_Brainiac_Adam

He's INSANE! You must block him! On all what he has done, and delete the talk page on the Meerkats wiki! PLEASE! --Brainiac Adam 11:26, March 14, 2012 (UTC)

Oh and now he's now on the Addams Family wiki as this http://addamsfamily.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/122.109.44.48 please block him!--Brainiac Adam 11:24, March 15, 2012 (UTC)

Naruto Wiki
Hello,

I send you a message because one of my wiki users, Tsunade18, reported me several blocking of her account, and she said that she was blocked by a user called Sulfur, so I think it's possible that was you.

But the matter is that I didn't find any trace of her account blocking in the blocking log, although that happened the 03/17/2012 (MM/DD/YYYY format).

That user makes a good job on my site, and I can trust her, so I don't understand why she was blocked.

Can you give me any informations about that?

Thank you very much in advance.

Celdrøn 20:33, March 18, 2012 (UTC)

Hi,

Ok, I'll try to get the block ID as soon as possible.

Thank you very much.

Celdrøn 00:07, March 21, 2012 (UTC)

Hi,

The block ID she gave to me is "27062" (on the IP address 80.89.188.60), I hope she found the good information.

Celdrøn 22:53, March 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * When reporting a block, please ensure that you leave the block ID. Without that, we cannot do anything. That specific user is not blocked, but it is likely that she's using an IP that was blocked for spam or vandalism. Having said that, without a block ID, I can do nothing to help at all. -- sulfur 23:33, March 18, 2012 (UTC)

Mr Curious is at it again
And it's not an april fool's joke. This time he's vandalizing the powerpuff girls wiki wasting the staff's time as this IP http://powerpuff.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Merrystar please block him, remove the message and the talk page please. Thank you--Brainiac Adam 10:07, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

Mr Curious back again!!!
That curious vandal is back again.... Now he's on the Powerpuff Girls wiki and created a ridiculous article about us http://powerpuff.wikia.com/wiki/VSTF_Are_Not_Leaving_Me_Alone! please block him and get rid of it. --Brainiac Adam 08:56, May 6, 2012 (UTC)
