Currently we observe very special spam attacs -- only IPs -- that place single nonsense words in existing pages.

John stated that we are not the only wiki that ist annoyed, they are testing the terrain before putting in real spam, said Felix.

I find it useful to block them for some days or weeks for the first. If we see them spamming again we can than block them even longer.

If you are blocked

If your, as a normal user, feel blocked due to a blocked IP, please contact one of the administrators. They will unblock you.

List of blocked IPs

Maybe we should make blocked IPs visible. And describe why we did it. This is the list of IPs blocked by User:Peu as a starting point.
