Current Vandal on Wiki

Not open for further replies.
Okay, this is getting annoying. Yesterday there were around ten vandals (mostly IPs) blocked and today there have been three already.
 
Four as of now: vandals here are almost always blocked within minutes, so it's nothing to worry about. Vandals are a typical part of any wiki.
 
Back when the wiki was new, there were lots of vandals (just check out some of the old logs). That's why anonymous editing wasn't allowed for so long, and afaik, a lot of the early promotions were made because they needed reinforcements. The worst of it was before my time, but there were still a few periods where we had a lot of spam and troll problems to deal with (just compare the block log from four years ago to what we're doing now - and there was a lot more cleanup needed back then, too). Trust me, between autoconfirmation and the sheer number of users and admins on the ball these days, contemporary vandal "problems" are nothing at all.
 
Also, you have to consider the whole "good users becoming vandals for no reasons" episodes as well.
 
A weird user named "‎Mamma Mia" keeps adding weird information to articles. He is saying that he is the brother of Yoshi876.. I don't believe that! Yoshi876 is a good user, and I don't think that he is saying the truth

That's hilarious.

This person must be delusional then. lol('course, if they ACTUALLY believed they were the brother)

That account does not share any IPs with Yoshi876. It, however, does share one with you (though the computer information is different).
