Vandalism after Recaptcha

I noticed significantly more vandalism today than I've seen since Recaptcha was implemented. It was reverted by Qazaaq (thanks), and isn't a problem in and of itself.

I just wanted to create this area for discussion of possible issues or problems or holes in security that this Wiki may have.

The last time was almost three weeks ago, it was done by the same bots (mostly), on the same pages and similar to this time it involved deleted + and - signs and partial pages. If it stays this infrequent I'm not concerned. Eventually all bot accounts will be deleted. These attacks are nothing compared to what we've seen earlier.

FYI, that's what we call the "plus sign vandal" at UESP. Apparently the changes are a side effect of the spam bot. For more infos, see UESP:Proxy Vandalism. However, should be less of a problem here due to generally tighter access control. --Wrye 21:11, 26 September 2007 (EDT)

this vandal has hit many pages recently, including Category:Building and Editing, My First Dungeon, Basic NPC Creation Tutorial, StrSetName, Category:About Modding Etiquette, and five hits on this page: Community Portal --Tiddlydum 00:43, 15 December 2007 (EDT)

Unfortunately we can't do much else than tag him. It's a single person looking for attention and he'll probably get bored after a few days. Making a special header for him at the community portal will only encourage him. Oh and don't forget to sign your posts, I did this one for you.
