ATRIVOTECHNOLOGIES
Owns the 69.50.160.0/19 block of IPs (assigned by ARIN); recently 5 spam attacks:


 * 69.50.184.220
 * 69.50.191.195
 * 69.50.191.195
 * 69.50.184.220
 * 69.50.166.4

Any more attacks from this range and I say ban the entire thing. Bloodshedder 20:43, 21 Jul 2005 (UTC)


 * 69.50.184.222

So, done. -- Jdowland 07:53, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * Will it work? Ducon 07:58, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * Dunno. I can't find documentation to suggest that you can do blocks, but wikipedia seems to do it. -- Jdowland 12:13, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * Fraggle did it awhile ago, and I assumed he knew what he was doing... Bloodshedder 13:58, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * Meta.wikimedia: Range blocks. Fraggle 12:39, 23 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * I mean: blocking the IP 69.50.160.0/19 will block all the Atrivo IPs automatically or will it block only the 69.50.160.0/19 IP itself? Ducon 15:36, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * 69.50.160.0/19 isn't an IP address; it specifies the entire range of IP addresses from 69.50.160.0 to 69.50.191.255, which is the entire Atrivo range. See this.

User:1231232 spammed the front page (albeit subtly). I've banned them but I can't IP ban because there is no way to find its IP address. I've asked on www.wikicities for help with this. Fraggle 12:15, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)

User:Mira32
Spammed the front page. Banned. Fraggle 10:12, 9 Sep 2005 (UTC)


 * I note an interesting approach to spamming - is that boiler-plate 'please leave my links'? -- Jdowland 10:20, 9 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Mira-nn22 seems related - banned. Bloodshedder 05:11, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Poor Fredrik… Ducon 06:39, 20 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * What on earth is it with these spammers defacing Fredrik's user page? The front page or other notable page I can understand, but the talk page of the top administrator? 84.92.173.189 11:45, 20 Nov 2005 (UTC)
