Revision as of 11:12, 31 January 2012
The spam bot accounts are becoming a serious problem. Multiple accounts are created each day, editing their own user pages, creating spam pages, and also, for some reason, targeting specific pages like User:Atarax. Clearly, the current Captcha isn't working. How can we deal with this? Does anyone have access to the behind the scenes stuff? Do we need to contact wikkii? Can we try anything listed here?
