Is it me or are the few recent 'successfull' attacks (not from our point of view, I know) on pages that are attacked before. -- GrubbmGait |

May 19 2006: We have some breathing room now I hope. Voidious added a feature to the wiki script that should check if you're awake before allowing an edit to be saved. And GrubbmGait, Florent and Corbos helped cleaning up the crap the last spam bot had left behind. It was lots and lots of pages and no small task. Huge thanks to you all guys. |

I have noticed the same, I figured it's because they have started to check the Changes page as a source for finding pages to spam. Not sure if that was intentional or just a side effect of how their SpamBots? work... My last exams are tomorrow, and hopefully after that I will be able to come up with some decent filter stuff for PEZ. -- Voidious |

This also means that we have now grown the Admin force on this site to 500% of its original size. Now it is GrubbmGait, Florent, Corbos, Voidious and I. So if we need to lock the site again it is not dependent on just me being awake. |

I think it's just an effect of that it is pages with URLs on them are more "spammable". -- PEZ |

To infinity and beyond! |

I just experienced a problem the participants page, I couldn't had a new robot (with an url), so I just replaced one of mine. -- Florent Crap. It's my crude spam filter... I'll losen it up some. Stay tuned. -- PEZ OK. Can you try again? -- PEZ It's working fine, thanks. -- Florent The last two attacks seem to avoid the blockade, cause they add several outerworld links. The links are just not visible (pixelheight = 1). -- GrubbmGait I've seen that on halowiki.net too. There I'm using a spamblocker where I can add rules against certain patterns. Anyway they don't really avoid the block I'm trying here, only our ocular investigation. With my current block implementation some pages will always be vulnerable I think. But I've tweaked it again to minimize the number of vulnerable pages. -- PEZ |
