Assasom - Russian spammer approaches NESDEV Wiki, again.

Post by Hamtaro126 »

A Spammer named Assacom returned to the wiki with an alternate account: Assasom. Can someone Fix this problem?

Just a notice. Although I do not think anything happened, yet!

see ''Recent Changes'' on the wiki menu for info.

Thanks for letting us know about an account that now we won't approve.

I was aware of the new account since I check the wiki everyday. Just by the name it was quite similar to the same user that tried a few months ago.

Thank you for mentioning it. With the new system, unless we approve account, the only thing they can do is create them: no content can be created at all. And the capcha is active for account creation only, which should reduce to only human spammers.

I guess next we'll start seeing people with usernames like VisitHttpExampleDotComForMeds or something :)
