Abuse filter conditions should be something like "something would do something". Not just a string. If you learnt some programming, you'll know a non-empty string can be changed to a "True", so it would just match anything. --[[YiFei]] | <small>[[User talk:Zhuyifei1999|talk]]</small> 08:43, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
:Thanks for letting me know that. I'm a novice at using AbuseFilter, but my intention was to make a filter blocking a repeated abusive troll's spamming efforts. Also, I do have some programming experience (granted, I'm a beginner in some areas), so your comment about "If you learnt some programming" was not only unnecessary, but frankly, I found that highly insulting and condescending.
