:::No, but likely, given recent events here, were Stewards had to do some major cleanup after we got attacked with spambots multiple times. This filter spawned as a result of that attack, and while I have the power to shut it off, and while I do feel your sympathies, I won't switch it off without input from the stewards.—[[User:C678|<span style="color:green;font-family:Neuropol">cyberpower]] [[User talk:C678|<sup style="color:\#FF8C00;font-family:arnprior">Chat]]<sub style="margin-left:-4.4ex;color:\#FF8C00;font-family:arnprior">Limited Access</sub> 18:15, 17 February 2015 (GMT)
::::"Attack"? You're not at war with spambots, and since this isn't a war, the collateral damage created by the filter shouldn't be tolerated. In addition, [[wikipedia:Parable_of_the_Tares|trying to weed out spambots will result in good users being harmed as well]]. --[[User:Michaeldsuarez|Michaeldsuarez]] ([[User talk:Michaeldsuarez|talk]]) 18:26, 17 February 2015 (GMT)
:::::War? Who said war? It doesn't take a war to be attacked. When you have 20 accounts simultaneously get created and start going on a spam rampage globally, it was extremely harder to clean up than to unblock collateral damage. And without discussion, this abuse filter will remain on.—[[User:C678|<span style="color:green;font-family:Neuropol">cyberpower]] [[User talk:C678|<sup style="color:\#FF8C00;font-family:arnprior">Chat]]<sub style="margin-left:-4.4ex;color:\#FF8C00;font-family:arnprior">Limited Access</sub> 18:32, 17 February 2015 (GMT)
