Forum:Annule blocking ip address

Forums: Index → Support

Some ip adresses are blocked because of the abuse filter "new user's link to external side". Do you know how to annule this? lg

I can technically unblock the IPs but they were blocked because the first action out of them was a link to an external site. This usually indicates a spambot of some sort.—cyberpower ^Chat_Online 00:12, 17 February 2015 (GMT)

This is done by the abuse filter in order to detect the spam. Tau Ceti (talk) 00:22, 17 February 2015 (GMT)

But it's not forbidden in general to link an external side? Can you unblock the ip 80.108.227.141 and the user S.anne? These are serious members of the kukuruz wiki. Or is it possible for me to unblock ip addresses? Thanks!

On kukuruzwiki? Only a local administrator there or a global administrator here, like me, can unblock them. Did you want them unblocked on kukuruzwiki?—cyberpower ^Chat_Online 17:17, 17 February 2015 (GMT)

On a side note, I don't see how user S.anne is a serious member when they don't have a single contribution logged on that wiki, can you perhaps enlighten me here? I am however inclined to unblock the IP, per AGF.—cyberpower ^Chat_Online 17:30, 17 February 2015 (GMT)

I am the creator of kukuruzwiki. So am i automaticly a local administrator of it? If not, what can i do become a local administrator and how can i change the blocked list?

As an IP you are unknown to me. Would you care to login? If you are the founder you should have the power to do it yourself, unless you relinquished your rights.—cyberpower ^Chat_Online 17:54, 17 February 2015 (GMT)

Signing your name with ~~~~ helps me to identify you when I'm communicating. Makes communicating much easier for everyone.—cyberpower ^Chat_{Limited Access} 18:04, 17 February 2015 (GMT)

The filter is a pain, and it should be done away with entirely. As a new user, I couldn't even submit links to other orain.org webpages. This makes things really difficult for new users with complaints. Plus, Orain's filters can't be accessed by non-sysops. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 17:57, 17 February 2015 (GMT)

It looks to me you just did. The filter is designed to prevent user's first edits from being external links as they are likely spam. The block feature has been disabled however to prevent unintended blocks. —cyberpower ^Chat_{Limited Access} 18:04, 17 February 2015 (GMT)

I "just did" because I'm not a new user anymore. The same can't be said by others with complaints. What happened to "everyone is innocent until proven guilty"? There shouldn't be filters built on the idea that every new users whose initial edits include external links must be a spambot. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 18:12, 17 February 2015 (GMT)
