[18:29:29] LTA: https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/TheSunpurpp42 [18:30:27] TheSun who isn't the real sun might be a name to blacklist, maybe not globally but perhaps on the music wikis [18:30:51] clearly just going to have alternates of that name appear again and again although that lta is very willing to just go to Da$un and from there [18:50:26] what if someone wants to have a reference to Blackhole Sun on their usernames then? [18:51:18] about the only thing I remember from music class is that song [18:52:48] @raidarr is not suggesting a block on usernames containing "sun" altogether, just usernames containing "TheSun" or "Da$un" [19:03:31] see tali, as "TheSun42" the original dude is more than likely to be the only sun fellow to appear on those wikis. But because that can have easy collateral I think it would only be effective as a more local measure. [19:04:17] and while "TheSun" has collateral chance globally I think the variations are far less likely to see legitimate use like DaSun and especially with $ and other common variations used by that lta [19:34:34] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/97.85.133.190 [19:39:00] davandal is resorting to ip vandalism I see [20:35:58] #TheSunIsALie [21:59:31] Arguably IP vandalism is easier [21:59:51] Creating an account takes time ans account creation can be monitored for suspicious usernames and sleepera [22:00:45] If you're actively vandalizing then someone is also actively reverting and you don't want to be wasting any time because CTV or wiki admins or Stewards could be using that time tp implement filters and range blocks etc [22:03:42] realistically on meta there are plenty of admins and even random people to defer the live cleanup to while stewards nuke from orbit [22:04:06] tbh my policy went as far as ignoring the vandalism until I broke off the roots [22:04:21] mass rollback/wipe later and it's all gone [22:05:03] in this case the ip has such a broad range that it's a pita to nuke properly because it comes from so many ranges despite having a common factor for that vandal, but for many it's actually quite hard to play like that because of the sheer amount of ranges miraheze has pre-empted [22:05:17] legitimate ranges I should say
