Antispam Work
I installed Special:AbuseFilter and it's now online and setup. Knock yourself out! :)

Previously (like, in the last month or so) I have also:


 * Installed The ConfirmEdit ReCaptcha plugin and set up the API key so that we're doing this. In the past, we ran out of FancyCaptchas so this should address this.
 * I've installed the Bad Behavior extension which blocks IPs that are acting very suspiciously and providing impossible or implausible information.
 * I've turned on two differently DNSBL DNS Blacklists which should block IPs which have reported to have spammed.

This is pretty aggressive. Do let me know if you hear that people are having trouble contributing. I sure hope this keeps the volume of spam down.

In terms of deleting and such, I tend to use Special:Nuke. I tend to check in on things every week or, when I'm real busy or travel, every couple weeks to revert things and sort of clean house. -- Benjamin Mako Hill (talk) 19:28, 10 August 2012 (EDT)
