Better delete that url, because I know there are those stupid curious people out here who visit it.

He blatantly said that it gives viruses. Only an idiot would go there, unless they accidentally misspell Google.

Done.

Spam-bot and sockpuppet are increased in current.

WarioFani has already made a sockpuppet like WarioFan, Monster X, etc.
He should got a block in original account.

Monster X. I recognized it as WarioFani because it was Godzilla monster, which he is bananas about.

Those spam bots are increasing. They have so far all gone by a similar name;
If there is a recurring IP address, should it be blocked?

Well, all I can say is that for those of us on the staff, we have to decide very carefully in regards to if we have to take any IP blocking action. The other roadblock is that this said spambot in question might be using dynamic IPs as well.

Until we're able to find the best solution, the best I (and others) are able to do is just simply block those said accounts as quickly as possible so that they don't mess up any pages at all.
 
Thanks Merit. Funny thing is, I've never actually seen the accounts edit at all. We don't know if they are created to harm. Only the name seems suspicious and that alone gives the admins the incentive to block the accounts.
 
Yeah, there's no need to escalate to IP blocking in cases like this: the spam bot accounts never edit, so it's not like they're a threat or a disruption - we can just block them as they occur and not worry that tomorrow's just going to bring another spam bot because we'll just block it too.

IP blocks run the risk of blocking innocent users as well, so we only resort to it in extreme cases of vandalism and whatnot.
 
I've taken care of it and the two sockpuppets.
 
Yeah, that may be good idea.

It could be another way to trace sockpuppets other than similar IP addresses and editing patters.
