Jeb Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Today we experienced some spam at the Eastern US Weather Forums wiki. The spammer, 66.246.218.107, was Blocked and the appropriate authorities were immediately contacted. I expect he/she will develop sockpuppets (e.g., he/she will get on another computer) and attempt to spam the EUSWX wiki again. No prob if they do so, the spam can be reverted in a millisecond and the offending IP Blocked indefinitely. Wikis are marvelous applications for website development. Just wanted to scribble a brief note about today's EUSWX wiki spam. Its no biggie but I love to keep detailed records for the authorities just in case this individual is into more than trolling other peoples' websites with annoying spam. The EUSWX wiki is a MediaWiki wiki application, the same as Wikipedia and MetaWiki and Wikimedia.
