Vandalism from bots

There seems to be quite a bit of vandalism latley from spam bots. Silver Gate Squadron mentioned an idea about semi protecting every single page. So what are the thoughts on this?

---

• I'd be OK with it. As I was told, Laggynate wants to be alerted whenever a page is locked, so I assume this would constitute a massive locking spree. Jesus Saves 13:41, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
• Well all 3 of us and maybe even laggynate would have to spend some time protecting them. I will also talk to Matt since an operation of this size needs his approval. --Phil Sutherland 13:58, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

* As I understand it, "protect" and "lock" are two different things. I beleive "protected" pages can be edited by anyone as long as they are a registered user (not just a random IP address) and I was suggesting that. Since most of the vandalism seems to be coming from unregistered IP addresses. Not a full lockdown (as has been done on a few pages, like how the Oracle page used to have the wrong info in the grid but nobody could change it). Silver Gate Squadron 04:56, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

• Ah, OK. I like that idea. Jesus Saves 13:36, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

• Ya thats what I meant I just use the terms semi-lock (registered users) and fully-lock(Admins only)

Il email Matt on Monday morning asking him what he thinks. --Phil Sutherland 14:46, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

- I've protected the Artemis Class Fighter page, after it was reverted from vandalism damage for the third time in eight hours. Silver Gate Squadron 15:45, 12 July 2010 (UTC) - P.S. Also protected Charon Class Transport for the same reason. Silver Gate Squadron 17:26, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Trying to figure out the best way to put it in the wiki --Phil Sutherland 00:05, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

• Lololol they actually made this information? Nice. But how is it going to be used? Jesus Saves 01:01, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

• There that should make it more readable. Im trying to figure out a good type of chart to stick in every page. --Phil Sutherland 13:01, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

• Check out the Athena Class Battleship I put in a chart with it in it. Does it look ok?

--Phil Sutherland 14:25, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

• That looks great. Jesus Saves 13:17, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Doom Beaver

The Doom Beaver page was revitalized. Do we keep it or no? I really like it but it's not technically part of the game, more like folklore... Jesus Saves 19:20, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

I say we put it up to vote. Im going to create a vote page for the wiki. My suggestion is to create a folklore section of the wiki. --Phil Sutherland 20:31, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

I have create the vote page here please all vote using same templates as Request for admin status. --Phil Sutherland 20:53, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Spam Bots

Recently there have been lots of vandalism by spam bots. Im not sure what we can do to stop this or at least minimize it. Any ideas?--Phil Sutherland 11:38, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

• Block faster :D Jesus Saves 14:22, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
• I don't bother to block them since ive never seen a spam bot twice from the same IP address --Phil Sutherland 20:30, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Really Funny

Every one read this page. Im definitively not the head of the wiki. Admin or Bureaucrat status is not a rank, its a privilege and it does not carry any weight in discussions. Matt is the head of the wiki, if anyone is. I just notified the alliance leader that one of his members was being a huge pain on the wiki and breaking his stated alliance rules. --Phil Sutherland 20:43, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

I see a couple flaws in his statements...

• Nino990 has no user page, and the user talk page's only edit is when you put in the Welcome template. Yet he claims that you told the alliance leader over the wiki.
• What relevance does what a person do on here have with in-game? People troll on the forum yet don't get banned from the game, right?
• Why would an alliance leader listen to someone about misbehavior on the wiki? (Well, I could actually understand that, however unlikely that would be to occur).

In addition, it looks like he has revealed his in-game name to be AceLucky.

Jesus Saves 20:50, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

• I did tell Nino990 Via Email since he has email listed on his page. And yes it does only prove our point that he is in fact Acelucky.

--Phil Sutherland 20:55, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

To clarify, what did you tell the alliance leader and when did you send the message? Jesus Saves 20:57, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

• "I just notified the alliance leader that one of his members was being a huge pain on the wiki and breaking his stated alliance rules." I sent the message over 5 days a go.--Phil Sutherland 21:01, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
