| + | :Spam continuing. Not from just one or two IPs anymore, they're now coming from many IPs. Blocking the user names and all the IPs is becoming a bit of a problem.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 16:56, 28 April 2013 (MDT). | ||

| + | ==Spam== | ||
| + | On a daily basis I have been removing a large amount of spam and blocking the users. I took a short break (approximately 60 hours) from deleting the spam here at the CC wiki, when I came back there were over 200 deletions and an additional 180 users to be blocked that needed to be done. This took several hours. Since I am not in a position to implement any procedures to prevent spam from entering the wiki, I am requesting that something more be done to prevent it as my time is better spent on other pursuits (both here and elsewhere).--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 20:36, 22 November 2013 (MST) | ||
| + | :Thanks Cobalt327; I'm going to bring this issue up with Helena, and hopefully we can get some new anti-spam features installed.--[[User:Jon|Jon]] 11:08, 23 November 2013 (MST) | ||
| + | ::Even a way to expedite the blocking of users where more than one at a time could be processed would be a big help. Same for deleting pages, although either or both may be impractical if not impossible to do from a programming/software standpoint. Had nearly '''[http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/File:Wiki_12-02-13_deletions_and_blocked_users.jpg 500 deletions and 350 blocked users]''' to process on 12-02-13 after returning from a short break from the wiki- and there's still nearly 14 hours left in the day (EST here).--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 08:34, 2 December 2013 (MST) | ||

| + | ==Question== | ||
| + | Jon- pls. take a look at the discussion between myself and user 'Centerline' under [http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/User_talk:Cobalt327#Article_credits '''Article credits'''] on my user discussion page. Do you have a comment or direction as to how to better handle this? Was considering removing the article or directing Centerline to remove it but stopped short of doing that until I contacted you. Thanks.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 17:46, 23 February 2016 (MST) | ||
