spam on backports.ubuntuforums.org

[simone.brunozzi]

Hi there,
I noticed that this wiki:

http://backports.ubuntuforums.org/wiki/index.php

is full of spam words and links.

I suggest the mantainer to take action against it.

Regards,

Also here: http://backports.ubuntuforums.org/wiki/index.php/UbuntuBackports:About
and on almost every page on the site.

I will PM the backports guru.

Yeah, intense spamming is a known issue on the site... I'm going to lock down anonymous edits and see if that does anything.

[simone.brunozzi]

ok, thanks guys!

Any updates on blocking the anonymous editing? Would be nice for people to see content related to backports, instead of a "BUY PILLS HERE!" message. I reverted a few pages to keep them semi-clean, however that will not last long.

I am also going to try and help with reverting anonymous edits, being a sys-op of the UDSF. The wiki needs locking down with the utmost urgency, and the Main_Page needs protecting by a sys-op.

Edit: Have removed all spam from wiki.

[jdong]

Edits restricted and main page protected.

I have just gone and deleted more spam added in the last 12 hours. These 'users' need blocking, which requires Sys-op status.

bonzodog, you've been granted sysop access.
