I'm really getting sick of these spammers. Dealing with their bullshit is a constant daily cycle. Honestly, I feel that we should implement a measure where each new user is automatically suspended until they contact an admin or moderator and prove that they are not a spammer (of course, they would be informed of this when signing up). -Yoshit 04:07, 27 November 2011 (PST)

Agreed. We should at least try to implemant something to destroy all these faggots that either do nothing here or do bullshit like this constantly. It's getting to the point of insanity here. - Crazy Luigi 04:56, 27 November 2011 (PST)
There are some Anti-Spam Extentions on MediaWiki. I'll have to ask Dopply or Tabull to install them. TheFXexpert 09:35, 27 November 2011 (PST)
Tabull installed a CAPTCHA and an IP blacklist. Problem solved. TheFXexpert 11:46, 27 November 2011 (PST)
Awesome. Thanks Tabull. I wonder who this guy was anyway... - Sonic 16:19, 27 November 2011 (PST)
Yeah. Thanks for that once again, Tabull. You seriously rule!
And honestly, Sonic, I honestly don't care who (s)he is, as long as this new system stops bullshit like this from happening ever again. Or at the very least, stops it for our very near future. But if I had to guess, it'd probably be that DrEggman fellow once again. - Crazy Luigi 16:33, 27 November 2011 (PST)
Honestly, I just hope that it was stopped. I hate wasting my time and watching other users wasting their time marking articles as spam.
On a side note, though, it seems like my spam template is getting great usage, and seeing it used is at least somewhat of a consolation. -Yoshit 02:38, 28 November 2011 (PST)
I don't think this is working. hmmm...TheFXexpert 08:02, 3 December 2011 (PST)
So I've noticed. I still think Yoshit's decision was the best so far. That, or we could try getting that more recent update for the Chewiki, just so we could update our standards here. - Crazy Luigi 08:32, 3 December 2011 (PST)
I found an extension that would use Yoshit's idea. Extention:ConfirmAccount TheFXexpert 12:13, 3 December 2011 (PST)

Alright, we're seeing a hemorrhage of new accounts being created. What now? - Sonic 12:15, 4 December 2011 (PST)

I will just block them if they become active. Also, Dopply will install the the Confirm Account Extension and a few new things will be added. TheFXexpert 14:18, 4 December 2011 (PST)
Awesome. - Sonic 15:48, 4 December 2011 (PST)
