User talk:Reboot/SpammerIPs

The onslaught continues

Wow, what is going these last few days? It's like an all-out war. Thanks for staying on top of it. Gopher 14:54, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

It's not just us. At least four other wikis of my acquaintance have been inundated - there's obviously some sort of spam-campaign just started up. Since some of those wikis have CAPTCHAs, I'm betting that there's a sweatshop at work rather than this being purely spambots.

As long as page creation's limited to autoconfirmed users, we should be okay, notwithstanding the huge volume of registrations. - Reboot (SoM) talk page 16:28, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
