::: If you need another helping hand I'm still interested. --[[User:AndiPersti|Andreas Perstinger]] ([[User talk:AndiPersti|talk]]) 06:35, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
:::: I'm not interested in getting moderator.I thought, marking as a soon as possible as spam, would keep spammers from doing so.But would it be not much easier to filter the title of a new created site after spam-buzzwords like "phone" "support" "800" "+1" "001" etc and let those site to be approved by one of the admins? --[[User:Horsth|Horsth]]
::::: That would not deal with PH0NE, *p*h*o*n*e* and so on... That said, currently, we're doing just fine, though it probably is worth thinking about how we are going to deal with the next attack. Just having more people ready to stand against them helps, of course.
::::: From a wikisoftware point of view, the tools I was wishing for had to do with making it easier for me to clean up the mess, and making it harder (but not impossible - impossible is impossible to achieve, and a waste of time - also, people make mistakes even if they are administrators) for them to spam us. For example, it would be great if I could just delete a user and have all their contributions removed also. This would need some limitations (exercising that against a useful contributor would be awful, and more than once when I was looking at user contributions and seeing a bunch of spam pages at the top, I belatedly noticed that these were "marked as spam" edits, that would have been bad...). Still, the pattern seems to be that spammers use throwaway accounts (they kind of need to, since they are dedicated to making their welcome go away), so something focussed on removing history from recently created accounts would probably be a good thing. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 14:29, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
: Is it known why the other 2 admins, Paddy3118 and Mwn3d, are not active? [[User:Fwend|Fwend]] ([[User talk:Fwend|talk]]) 14:18, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
:: I presume they are busy. Contributing here is a voluntary activity, and sometimes people need to deal with other things. I know I've gone and been busy elsewhere sometimes for months at a time. Real life is like that sometimes... --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 14:29, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
