== Account oddities == | |||
Hi Mark - there seems to be some oddities with accounts going on. I tried to update [[Baidu Baike]], but got blocked by the [[Spam protection filter]]. I checked both our [[blacklist]]s – the [[MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist]] has a couple of entries for 'baidu.com' (but I left that unchanged). In the [[My spam blacklist]], I found one entry for 'baidu.com' – which I removed. However, I still can't update the [[Baidu Baike]] article. Something's really confusing me though – a new user – [[User:Zhuyifei1999]] a few hours earlier had sucessfully [[Special:Contributions/Zhuyifei1999|edited]] the same article (complete with the addition of [http://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Baidu_Baike&diff=next&oldid=165088 baidu.com url]). So how is it that a new (probably not even autoconfirmed user) can over-ride the two spam blacklists, yet a [[sysop]] such as I can not? | |||
Another thing which is making me curious - when I (regularly) check [[Special:WhosOnline]] – I see the list flooded with users who have been blocked (months ago). These seem to be permanently 'logged-in' to WikiIndex despite being blocked. [[Special:WhosOnline]] does not show anon or IP editors, so how is it these supposedly banned users are still able to log in? | |||
Any clues or ideas for these two issues? Best, --[[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 09:05, 30 March 2013 (PDT) | |||
