Spambots

That was actually a rogue spambot editing the time-travel CCG - I don't know why they're doing it, but they seem to take the wiki source of a page and feed it through something that converts plus signs to spaces and cuts out entirely at non-ASCII characters, before pasting it all back in.

I picture them as long-forgotten spambots in a Taiwanese warehouse, who've crossed out all the shut-down spam sites from their list of sites to advertise, and are just idly churning through wiki pages, with nothing left to add... --Kevan 19:19, 5 June 2007 (BST)

More spambots

Thanks for the cleanup. I've seen these guys on a couple of wikis recently, and it looks like they've either cracked ReCAPTCHA or persuaded bored humans to go through it manually - I'll dig around for a stronger anti-spam countermeasure over the next day or two. --Kevan 00:37, 30 June 2009 (BST)

Admin promotion

Actually, I don't know why I haven't just made you an admin before now. You can now delete pages and ban users. Cheers. --Kevan 12:33, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
