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

*[[Special:Contributions/69.50.184.220|69.50.184.220]]
*[[Special:Contributions/69.50.191.195|69.50.191.195]]

*[[Special:Contributions/69.50.166.4|69.50.166.4]]

So, done. -- [[User:Jdowland|Jdowland]] 07:53, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:Will it work? [[User:Ducon|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. -- [[User:Jdowland|Jdowland]] 12:13, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:::Fraggle did it awhile ago, and I assumed he knew what he was doing... [[User:Bloodshedder|Bloodshedder]] 13:58, 22 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? [[User:Ducon|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 [[Wikipedia:Classless inter-domain routing|this]].

* Also spam from 85.255.114.133. [[User:Fredrik|Fredrik]] 16:17, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
* Also 85.255.113.154 and 85.255.114.132. I think a range block may be in order. [[User:TheDarkArchon|TheDarkArchon]] 16:37, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
* Now there's 85.255.113.156 spamming TNT Evilution. We need  a range block (I don't understand them) [[User:TheDarkArchon|TheDarkArchon]] 16:40, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)

== 1231232 ==

[[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.  [[User:Fraggle|Fraggle]] 12:15, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== 81.177.7.37 ==

Banned for spamming two pages. [[User:Bloodshedder|Bloodshedder]] 17:00, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== [[User:Mira32]] ==

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

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

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

Poor Fredrik… [[User:Ducon|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? [[User:Fraggle|Fraggle]] 11:46, 20 Nov 2005 (UTC)
:: Blocked. [[User:Radius|radius]] 13:50, 20 Nov 2005 (UTC)
:: Most of these are bots. They probably pick the first best incoming link, and there's a chance they reached my user page either from my Wikipedia user page or from my own website (just guessing here). [[User:Fredrik|Fredrik]] 18:31, 21 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Look at the changelog from 2006 january, 3rd, this spammer was blocked by Jdowland but it spammed Manc’s user page some hours later. [[User:Ducon|Ducon]] 20:04, 4 Jan 2006 (UTC)

:Here's an idea...how about protecting your user page and the page about Manc? And adding some notice saying 'this page is protected due to repeated spambot attacks'. [[User:Bloodshedder|Bloodshedder]] 23:39, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

::Perhaps. Is it that big a deal? [[User:Fredrik|Fredrik]] 12:53, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

:::Only if we see repeated spamming of those pages as annoying enough to do something about it. They aren't edited very often, but of course the spam bots might just follow a link to another target to spam. [[User:Bloodshedder|Bloodshedder]] 01:42, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
