Spammer infestation

(1/1)

Alsadius:
I was searching for a wiki article just now, and noticed a nasty spammer infestation. Seems to have been the user kishmond who posted them all, about a month ago (I assume this was a hack of his account), and I've gone through and marked a ton of them for deletion. If an admin (Erik, maybe others) could approve the deletions, that'd be great.

https://www.aurorawiki.pentarch.org/index.php?title=Special:AllPages is the full article list, the spam ones are obvious. I've deleted everything alphabetically down to the ones starting with E. If anyone with an account wants to clean up more of them, that'd help too.

Unfortunately, it would seem that he is still active and has already undone your changes to his spam pages.

Alsadius:
Ugh, that's really annoying. We're going to need an admin to fix this, I think - I've messaged Erik, and we'll see if he can clean it up. He seems to be active, at least, which is better than some similar situations I've seen before.

Erik L:
The account is blocked. And pages should be gone.
