Talk:Main Page/Discussion

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)
- Go on then, I will report back... (assuming you can unblock a blocked user!!) --John Rumm 01:20, 22 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).

Propose add John Rumm as moderator
John's been patrolling this wiki and reverting spam. It would be useful if he were able to block spammers too. He has also contributed to articles in the wiki. I'd like to see him be a moderator alongside myself and NT. I've asked him and he says he'd be happy to do this.
Do you agree NT?
Any other views?
(Grunff, if you're reading this, if all say aye can you just do it?)

Great

The reverse DNS entry for an IP is found by reversing the IP, adding it to "in-addr.arpa", and looking up the PTR record.
So, the reverse DNS entry for 201.243.59.225 is found by looking up the PTR record for
225.59.243.201.in-addr.arpa.
All DNS requests start by asking the root servers, and they let us know what to do next.
See How Reverse DNS Lookups Work for more information.

More Spam
Is there something we can do to stop most of it? Does wikimedia have any clever tools for mass spam?
I can think of a neat idea or 2, but I assume what wikimedia has is what we will need to work with. NT 14:17, 4 August 2007 (BST)
