Editing Help talk:Spam (section) From DoomWiki.org Warning: You are not logged in. Your IP address will be recorded in this page's edit history. Anti-spam check. Do not fill this in! == Purpose of this page == I am a little confused about the current purpose of this page. AFAICT it began as a non-automated blacklist, but it is not currently used as such. For instance, Fraggle's recent range blocks cite "long term abuse" from addresses which do indeed appear in the block log, but not here or on the archive page. On the other hand, both admins and non-admins post here, and usually do not discuss particular spammers at length, so it seems not to be a "spam noticeboard" — nearly all of its content is in fact redundant with the block log. Have I once again missed something obvious? [[User:Ryan W|Ryan W]] 04:10, 1 March 2007 (UTC) : I’m no sysop, so I can list spammers and morons here. [[User:Ducon|Ducon]] 06:34, 1 March 2007 (UTC) :: True. I was just observing that, e.g., in the last year there have been 4 posts to this page by non-admins, whereas the number of blocks was roughly 12 (depending on which ones you count), so this page is apparently not indispensable for that purpose. :: I suppose the explanation might simply be that our most active editors, and therefore most of the people who watch Special:Recentchanges, are admins, and therefore a lot of reverts and blocks happen pretty quickly. Years from now, that might not be the case, which would make this page far more useful (as with the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard|administrators' noticeboard]] on wikipedia). Hmm. [[User:Ryan W|Ryan W]] 12:08, 11 March 2007 (UTC) : In the future, if I ban people in such a way, I'll put the details up on here.
