:::I just had to deal with some spam. It's a shame only stewards can globally lock accounts. [[User:Tau Ceti|Tau Ceti]] ([[User talk:Tau Ceti|talk]]) 06:50, 25 February 2015 (GMT)
::::(I am a 'staffer' (system administrator), but this comment should in general not been seen as the view of them) Hi Michaeldsuarez, I have been reading the discussions for a few days now, and now I feel that I can comment on it, so I will do that.
::::As first you accuse Orain staff of nagging you/inexperienced users at [[Forum:Annule blocking ip address]]. The users who are involved in the discussion there (mainly Cyberpower678 and Joe G), are not stewards ([[Template:List of stewards|list]]) or sysadmins ([[Template:List of stewards|list]]) and as such can't be seen as staff (oh, and a comment from any staff member might also just be made in their role as a community member, unless they've made it clear that's not really the case). So I guess you might have been confused who are staff and who aren't.
::::At the request of Dusti I've been testing a new reCaptcha (one that only works during user registration, which hopefully is a great asset) on all wikis. Unfortunately, it only caused issues on those wikis so we had to immediately disable this Captcha, and use the old one again. We surely can look if it works if we make some changes to the extension, but that will take some time I guess (and, to be very honest, I don't know if we can remove the abuse filters you're complaining about - I hope we can, but I can't guarantee it).
::::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. [[User:Southparkfan|Southparkfan]] ([[User talk:Southparkfan|talk]]) 09:31, 25 February 2015 (GMT)
