#2818 Block wiki spammer
Closed: Fixed None Opened 12 years ago by markmc.

See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/74.8.142.91 for a link spammer that should be blocked

I've reverted all the changes up to "06:27, 8 June 2011 Test Day:2009-03-17"


Well, this is an annonymous/ip based spammer, not someone with an account we can lock.

As far as I know we really try not to ban by IP, because:

a) people can just reconnect to their isp and get a new one.
b) someone interested in the project could get an 'old' IP that a spammer had and be frustrated that they can't connect/edit.

So, I would say unless there is a lot of repeats from that IP, there's not much we can do right now aside from reverting it and archiving anything that no longer needs to be edited.
