::I probably should have tipped you about this earlier - those user talk pages they are creating are likely to be the IP addresses the account was created on. I noticed that all of today's accounts were creating user talk pages within a single /24 range that never edited the wiki before, so I blocked it. Of course I don't directly know that without checkuser.

:::Oh... OK. I wondered if you might have noticed the same spammers on any other wikis you sysop on. I just wish Mark would hurry on with the upgrades!
