Revision as of 23:52, 18 August 2011
We have recently been having trouble with an automated script that is posting pharmaceutical links from multiple IPs. I have been blocking these IPs for a year. In fact, it really wouldn't matter too much if we just left the links there as users of the site cannot see them because the spam directs the links to be put in 1px div (too small to see). Also because of the "no follow" they aren't serving their purpose of increasing the google rank of the spammer.
Still, for now though I have been rolling back the changes as often as I see them. I noticed that RobertC caught one too. Thanks RobertC.
To date this has only been affecting one page. One thing I've considered is simply changing the name of that page and see if that doesn't get rid of the problem.
All, please feel free to revise the SPAM page. Please suggest any additional methods for dealing with these problems you think of.

Proposal: Move page to fix capitalization.
SPAM in capital letters is Hormel's trademark for their tinned meat stuff. They have been gracious about the network term "spam" (in lowercase or titlecase) as long as it's been in use, but they would like to keep the all-caps one for themselves (citation). I'll edit the page text myself, but it will take someone with admin rights to move the page to Site:Spam. Nathan E. Rasmussen 20:04, 15 August 2011 (CEST)
