General Discussion

Move Bot Banning section down the page

Does anyone care if I move the Bot Banning section down the page so that it is underneath the normal reporting area. When it gets a bit long, it gets annoying scrolling down to the main reporting area. ~ _{16:02, 4 January 2012 (UTC)}

Vanished Comments

If anyone can get the right comments back please do. I don't have time to search them up but the histories are now merged. They're hidden in the revisions right now because of the re-merging of the A/VB pages. You'll only need to find the most recent revision of the A/VB talk comments. --Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 02:17, 16 May 2011 (BST)

I'm really not sure what happened to them. I believe it may have had something to do with when you moved A/VB to UDWiki:Administration/Vandal Banning/Archive1. It looks like discussion archives were created with the exact naming structure (see above) and probably when you moved the page you checked "move associated talk page" but when prompted you (wisely) told the wiki not to delete the existing discussion page. That's my best guess. Anyway, I can't find the comments and I don't really know what I'm looking for. They may be gone forever unless you can figure out how to dig them up yourself. ~ _{07:42, 9 July 2011 (UTC)}

I know where they are and how to get them it's just a time to do it issue. --Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 09:18, 9 July 2011 (BST)

Bots Discussion

Return of old, already banned, bots

Over the past couple of days, bots who were previous banned have been spamming again. Has the recent update of the wiki somehow unbanned them? -- boxy 10:35, 27 December 2014 (BST)

Hmm

It's been a few years, but we're getting a wave of bots again. Thoughts? Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 01:57, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Hopefully it's just a random burst, not a consistent thing? --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 04:26, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

More spammers stuck inside? I gather fraud attempts are way up at the moment. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 08:01, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Has it been going on for a while? Like beyond this week? DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION 10:11, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

No, not yet. I just realized I've gotten complacent because we've had so few. If it continues for more than a week or so we can ponder other options. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 17:19, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Hopefully it's just a flareup for now... DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION 23:31, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, like acne. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 23:36, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Yeah.... acne.... DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION 00:14, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

Anyone want to review this? They're still here, and popping them isn't helping. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 22:33, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Do you think the captcha needs to be updated? If so I can try to get in touch with Kev. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 14:36, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Considering we all have better things to do than continuously ban spambots, probably worth asking! stelar ^{Talk|MCM|EBD|Scourge} 20:47, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

I guess whoever has his ear, go for it. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 23:47, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
