Revision as of 12:33, 19 July 2007
This page is for discussion of the DIY Wiki main page, and the Wiki as a whole.
It also seems to be a favoured place for spammers advertising dodgy pharmaceuticals, fakereplica Rolexes and so on <sigh>

spam
Since the 203.162.0.0 netblock seems to have been a frequent source of spam, and we probably don't care too much if vietnam has access to this UK resource, anyone up for blocking a range of IP addresses?
203.162.16.0 - 203.162.31.255

good idea
NT 18:09, 16 July 2007 (BST)
I would suggest
A block on 203.162.27.0/255.255.255.0 since that class C has been the source of at least 5 attacks in the last month.

Sounds good to me John NT
blocking netblocks
I don't think we can block netblocks via the wiki software (though it could obviously be done at the server level.)
--John Stumbles 19:31, 17 July 2007 (BST)
How do the wiki blocking controls work, by blocking all access, or by just blocking write access?
- We can only (AFAICT) block individual users/IP addresses. Obviously all the spammers have been just IPs. --John Stumbles 01:06, 18 July 2007 (BST)
- I meant more in terms of what does a blocked user see - does blocking them chop off all access to the site, or just prevent them making edits? The other solution should spam become a particular problem would be to change policy such that a user account is required (possibly with pre approval on account creation). --John Rumm 13:27, 18 July 2007 (BST)
- Er, dunno. I guess it just makes the 'edit' functions unavailable to that user, or probably redirects edit attempts to a why-you-are-blocked page.
- I could block you and you could tell us :-)
- --John Stumbles 23:54, 18 July 2007 (BST)
If it was done at the server level (say using ipchains) then that would block all access - the server would simply cease to exist to any user on the blocked address range. That may be a little more severe than is really required (then again probably not an issue).
