[01:11:04] dmehus You up to look into Mr. Frying Pan when you're free tonight? [08:31:32] The principle goal of a troll is to get attention and get validation that their actions are working. By expressing clear weakness on the noticeboard to indicate that abigblueworld is getting on your nerves DarkMatterMan, you have given that user the fuel they need to know their activities are working. There is no magic tool to end them and their activities, especially when they bounce as effectively as they do. Instead their [08:31:32] fuel must be forced to burn out with lack of validation. Unfortunately per the post on the Stewards Noticeboard regarding them - here was good enough - I think you may have perpetuated the issue accidentally. [08:40:53] Link [09:02:40] I think I know what he's talking about. He's referring to that report I made against that troll last Saturday which was already resolved. [09:40:58] correct [10:31:02] Specifically, @raidarr is referring to this report: https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Stewards%27_noticeboard#I'm_being_stalked_cross-wiki_by_troll,_please_help: [10:31:04] [url] Stewards' noticeboard - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [12:14:46] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/DockerWiki_by_RZ This page was made out of scope.

[12:16:22] Yep [15:25:42] [[Special:CentralAuth/LashundaHarr]] @CVT This spambot has been hitting abuse filters and it's off the charts for this one. Likely an old spambot from back in August: https://meta.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Special:AbuseLog&wpSearchUser=LashundaHarr [15:25:42] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/LashundaHarr [15:25:42]

Now I think it can get locked as of this moment. [15:27:53] Yes [15:27:56] Reception123: ^ [15:33:34] I've noticed within the past couple of days or so that some spambots have managed to sneak past through the new ReCAPTCHA. [15:41:45] darkmatterman450: if you mean the Phab ones I think they are human [16:57:27] I've also noticed that a few accounts with strange name combinations (like those of the old spambots) following the pattern of firstname[number] have been being created but none of them seem to trigger the abuse filter
