[edit] The Idea & How It Works

Thanks for the idea, Canyonknight! Everyone is invited to post spamnicks here in the format of

[[Special:Contributions/<SPAMMER>|<SPAMMER>]]

to make it easy for the sysops to check if the suspicion is right.

This format results in a link where all contributions of that nick can be accessed easily: Hellwoofa

It is clear, that this is only a temporary solution, confer to the current discussion in the forums for a long term solution that is still to be found.

It would be nice if the wiki admins would check this site regularly and delete/block the listed spammers to support the people in their daily fight against spam!

I think it would be better to add to the wiki registration form an extra question eg. are u human )and for all other arch related sites which require registration) , just like i had the same idea for the forum and it seems to work fine.i havent noticed any spam from that point. Dolby

[edit] The List

Blocked spam accounts should be deleted from time to time to keep everything neat here :)
