[11:38:00] [[Special:CentralAuth/LuigiGuy12]] I found a user with a strange vendetta against MarioBobFan, as shown in [their edits on the Greatest Characters Wiki,](https://greatcharacters.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/LuigiGuy12) on top of knowing the user, something that a brand new editor shouldn't know. [11:38:00] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/LuigiGuy12 [11:38:07] [12:01:21] [1/2] This arouses a couple of questions: For one, how did LuigiGuy12 know anything about MarioBobFan's editing? And secondly, how did he know about [these edits,](https://greatcharacters.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Cwf1997/sandbox/Agent_Xero?diff=prev&oldid=186718) on top of knowing about [the user being inactive for so long?](https://greatcharacters.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Pillowdolphi [12:01:21] [2/2] n/sandbox/Chewbacca?diff=prev&oldid=186717) [12:05:34] well the first edit I looked at was just AI [12:07:29] the thing about knowing stuff is you can never be entirely sure if someone just wasn't lurking for a long time [12:07:38] now if its spoken about in a 'familiar way' that should set off bells [12:08:03] Right, but I initially thought it was strange that they knew anything about MarioBobFan at all. [12:08:21] you can also tell if a user has been there for years or not by just, well, looking at their contributions [12:08:27] so its a wafer thin premise to act on [12:09:01] so whats left then is the pretense of a vendetta which I need to check into more edits to say [12:09:18] Alright. [12:09:45] unless there is a more clear premise of abuse or connection to an existing case I'd say punt the ball to local admins [12:10:19] Very well. [16:07:28] @CVT this user https://commons.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Why_is_XM_Partner_Code_7WCMC_the_best_code dripped a few filters on commons trying to create one of those bot spam advert thingys [16:49:30] @CVT [16:49:36] (ping didn't go through) [16:50:44] Already locked [16:51:17] @yzxs For the record, buddy, IRC (if I can remember correctly), doesn't exactly ping that well when you're using a client chat to communicate here. [16:58:49] Either does pinging the wrong person [16:59:11] @crystalite13 [16:59:25] 😂 [17:00:04] 🤣 [17:00:29] I'm changing name back sorry crystalite [19:09:00] [1/2] https://horriblemusic.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/McFly_Spidey [19:09:01] [2/2] LTA + Code of Conduct violations [19:09:46] Concerning how often this wiki pops up. [19:29:43] Have they been IP blocked [19:49:45] RIP [20:44:34] ip blocks are next to useless since to meaningfully do it would be to block a /20 64 swathe of australia among many other ranges [20:45:11] although I suppose if done locally it might mildly deter but that bad actor is known to already do the register on other wikis trick... then again maybe the bug would help us on this one? [20:45:21] if local block, attach fail would be nice [20:46:16] if a local block would invoke that I could justify doing local carpet bombing as the collateral would be mild and realistically the only other in that range has himself done funny business and would have no business making alts there either [21:39:12] :bombasticsideeye: [21:41:03] I thought I was pinging Crystalite13, but thanks for pointing that out to me. [21:41:17] Yeah, sorry for mistaking Javo for you. [21:41:47] Tsk tsk [21:41:54] The risks of having minions
