[00:03:34] [Special:CentralAuth/RichardC]] @Doug Apparently Ceciliantas has created the RichardC account in order to circumvent a block because of harassment against a user they have done, and some incredible overlap of vandalism can be found within the same areas, with some similar vandalism in between: https://ethene.wiki/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=next&oldid=3474 https://ethene.wiki/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid=3474 [00:03:35] (Ceciliantas) https://ethene.wiki/w/index.php?title=Quest_198&diff=prev&oldid=3355 (General vandalism from Ceciliantas by replacing content with some trashy nonsense) https://ethene.wiki/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=prev&oldid=3495 (RichardC strangely acting similarly to Ceciliantas with threats and harassment towards users who even laid out the foundation of that wiki) https://ethene.wiki/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid=3477 [00:03:35] (Ceciliantas, showing off hostile behavior) https://ethene.wiki/w/index.php?title=Quest_612&oldid=3485 (RichardC behaving similarly to said user, admitting that they are an evasion account, which is pretty much them using the "I AM EVADING A BLOCK, COME FIGHT ME", type of comment to try and prove their point.) There's just too many examples of them resorting to threats and harassment of other users. I was alerted via #cvt-feed, and did [00:03:36] some digging, so that's how I know that they may be the same person.

[01:14:44] Also, thanks for taking the opportunity to respond her @dmehus. [01:27:59] who did I respond to her? [01:29:13] Whoops, I meant to say here, not "her". [01:30:09] oh [01:30:11] heh [01:30:25] * dmehus wonders what he's looking at re: Ceciliantas [01:32:05] So the first account looks like a vandalism only account, except it's only one wiki and they're locally blocked. [01:33:03] Yes, but all I knew was that RichardC was apparently created to continue the similar-type of hostile behavior. Not sure what else to make of this. [01:34:12] I do think RichardC is a fairly obvious sock. The user is likely to have abused multiple accounts. Neither account is up to any good, but really depends on the extent of the problem [01:34:46] [[Special:UserRights/Dmehus@dragonquestxwiki]] [01:34:46] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:UserRights/Dmehus%40dragonquestxwiki [01:44:03] @dmehus After you're finished, could you look at @HibiscusCrown20's report? [01:53:24] darkmatterman450, done one. Let me know if you see substantially similar edits to Richard's on that, or similar, wikis. As well, Let me know if Ceciliantas causes problems on other wikis; otherwise, the user is locally blocked and their edits are not as problematic as to warrant locking as a vandalism only account for edits on that wiki [01:53:35] sure, will look in about an hour or so [01:56:54] Okay then.

Ilovedogs34 was originally blocked for suspected sockuppetry earlier, but Ilovepups34 showed up, which pretty much confirms what I've found so far.

[17:05:09] It's hard to look at the cvt feed when 90% of it is filled with spambot registrations [17:06:33] ReCAPTCHA has to somehow be modified. [19:31:37] @CosmicAlpha ^ can we figure out what to do with that throttled filter? [19:32:07] Oh nevermind, it was disabled [19:38:52] Could it be re-enabled? The influx of spambots lately has been massive [19:46:18] @Reception123 Could you lock the spambots I listed above, if you could? [19:48:58] @Void will have to be asked [19:50:14] That, or @Doug. But Void at the moment could probably investigate the spambot activities and do a speed-whack (by locking them, of course). [19:58:29] locking them is probably the best option, I don't like our probabilities of false positives for prohibiting account creation [20:04:53] Yeah, neither do I, but do the best you can. 🙂 [20:11:28] The filter has now been re-enabled with a small change [20:11:53] That's awesome. [20:12:34] we do however hope to figure out what's going on with ReCaptcha too (cc @CosmicAlpha ) [20:12:39] Hopefully, that should stop the flow. [20:12:59] But now, we need to lock the spambots that managed to make it through the filters.
