::::Recent technical issues distracted me from working on better anti-spam measures too. Some problems ([[tech:Incidents#February_2015|This list]] describes the most important ones, but that list is not complete) with out servers needed my attention first, as it is my responsibility to keep all servers running normally.
::::Instead of just saying that we /all/ are doing wrong things, please let us know how we can improve our anti-spam setup - because I'm sure that if people do so, we can make everyone happy. All configuration for all services on all servers is public at [https://github.com/Orain/ansible-playbook GitHub], and the anti-spam settings of the anti-spam extensions can all be found [https://github.com/Orain/ansible-playbook/blob/master/roles/mediawiki/files/localsettings/LocalSettings.php.j2 here].

:::::Thanks for the information. It's nice to finally hear that someone within Orain is actually interested in removing the filter, even if youthey can't guarantee youits removal. Keep up the good work. Aside from what I've already suggested ([https://meta.orain.org/w/index.php?title=Forum%3AAnnule_blocking_ip_address&diff=12349&oldid=12344], [https://meta.orain.org/w/index.php?title=Forum%3AAnnule_blocking_ip_address&diff=12355&oldid=12350], [https://meta.orain.org/w/index.php?title=Forum%3AAnti-spam_measures&diff=12503&oldid=12501]), I don't have anything else specific to suggest. Thanks for the help. --[[User:Michaeldsuarez|Michaeldsuarez]] ([[User talk:Michaeldsuarez|talk]]) 13:18, 25 February 2015 (GMT)
::::::I'm no fan of the filter myself, but I can't just arbitrarily disable it. But I have modified it to throw a message at the user, with the option to submit by clicking save again. I hope that solves the problem a little bit.—[[User:C678|<span style="color:green;font-family:Neuropol">cyberpower]] [[User talk:C678|<sup style="color:olive;font-family:arnprior">Chat]]<sub style="margin-left:-4.4ex;color:olive;font-family:arnprior">Online</sub> 16:31, 25 February 2015 (GMT)
:::::::A nicer message is now thrown (the message Cyberpower678 is not really user-friendly), and autoconfirmed users (users who are registered at Orain Meta for at least 4 days) can add external links in their edits now without being blocked by the filter. Oh, and autoconfirmed users [https://github.com/Orain/ansible-playbook/commit/d0bbdc195e0ba0408e8ccf47cb37322ea3f0a72f should now have the skipcaptcha right], well I hope so, as stuff seems broken at the moment..

::::::::I'm a total NOOB with abuse filters. I didn't want to break anything.—[[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> 17:22, 25 February 2015 (GMT)
:::::::::Oh, cool. Thanks, everyone. Sorry for being as ass earlier. --[[User:Michaeldsuarez|Michaeldsuarez]] ([[User talk:Michaeldsuarez|talk]]) 19:31, 25 February 2015 (GMT)
::::::::::It's quite alright, but just remember, we're more likely to listen, and respond, if you approach us in a nice in civil manner. :-)—[[User:C678|<span style="color:green;font-family:Neuropol">cyberpower]] [[User talk:C678|<sup style="color:olive;font-family:arnprior">Chat]]<sub style="margin-left:-4.4ex;color:olive;font-family:arnprior">Online</sub> 22:16, 25 February 2015 (GMT)
