:Yeah, it is already linked from my page, and I've added a few more links to it. :) --[[User:IanOsgood|IanOsgood]] 09:53, 13 October 2007 (MDT)
==User spam==
The reason you're seeing user spam is because, in order to present captchas to all anonymous editors without also presenting captchas to all logged-in editors, I needed to remove the captchas for all logged-in users. What you're seeing are bots that have, up until now, been blocked by the URL captcha trigger. Since the logged-in users no longer get captchas when they post URLs, logged-in bots are posting their linkspam. When the username looks random like that, it's probably autogenerated; Don't feel bad about blocking for six months or more. And ''please'' set the option for automatically blocking subsequent login IPs. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 21:35, 17 October 2007 (MDT)
