Line 3:
I suspect (on the basis of what you removed earlier from [[Category talk:Programming Tasks]]) that [[User:Rkcy81]] is a spammer. Fits the pattern. You might want to take action sooner rather than later. –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 13:16, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
: The username and edit fit the patterns I've seen before, but creating an account requires human intervention, due to the CAPTCHA. It's easy enough to revert all of a user's edits, if necessary. I'm going to hold off for a bit. I've got an idea for how to allow someone with privilege adjustment permissions to force a suspect account to service CAPTCHA requests for each edit, and that might be a better solution in the long run. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 13:57, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
== Spammer? ==
Content of http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Rosetta_Code_talk:Village_Pump looks spammy, like a test run for blog spam. Particularly telling is the fact that the author hasn't contributed anything else. You might want to just revert things back there and have a think about whether some other form of block should be applied… –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 12:16, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
: I'll take a wait-and-see approach. Individual users can be mass-rolled-back if necessary. I can see about re-enabling CAPTCHAs for all non-logged-in, but I ''really'' don't have the time right now to deal with anything short of an emergency situation. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 13:40, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
