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.
