I'm not sure, but I've heard that the above isn't actually true. For the purpose of fighting spam, it's probably a fair assumption, but we don't want to be placing the idea of "this is not your page, leave it alone" if it isn't true...  <sup>[[User:Somestrangeflea|some]]</sup>[[User Talk:Somestrangeflea|strange]]<sub>[[User:Somestrangeflea/Games In Detail|flea]]</sub> 10:48, 2 October 2007 (MDT)

:I agree. I think Mr. Flay just rephrased this for me. Thanks for helping! Keep posting suggestions!

Good idea. Add in something about looking at the number of characters add to a page (that's how I find them). Very few pages are going to see 10,000+ characters added, and most of the spam seems to fall somewhere in the range of 12-14k. -gorc

Right now I'm not home with my beloved GIMP. If you can put it before me I'll appreciate it

Promote to MafiaWiki/Help namespace?

Andy, do you have any objections to me moving this into the 'official' namespaces? You'll still get credit for starting it, but I think this is quite robust (even though hopefully our spam problems are finally decreasing). -- Mr. Flay 09:48, 1 October 2007 (MDT)

Moving to Help namespace is a great honor to me! I don't really care for taking credit. I'd just like one week or so for improving this guide to its best

General Point

Any userpage must be edited only by its owner.

I'm not sure, but I've heard that the above isn't actually true. For the purpose of fighting spam, it's probably a fair assumption, but we don't want to be placing the idea of "this is not your page, leave it alone" if it isn't true... somestrangeflea 10:48, 2 October 2007 (MDT)
