Given the current spate of vandalism, and the surprisingly long list of [http://www.riscos.info/index.php?title=Special:Listusers&limit=500&offset=0 | dodgy-looking users] that seems to be growing as I write - 155 users at 22:57 11/04/2007 had grown to 156 in the time it took me to write this - may I suggest some of the following measures, to be implemented as a matter of urgency: |
|||
* Pre-emptive blocking of suspicious users. Are older user lists available so we can filter out the newly-added suspect ones? |
|||
* Edit the login and/or new user pages to thwart/confuse bots - rename the fields or something, or move the page. |
|||
* Add a field to the login system only a human could understand and enter correctly. e.g. 'Please enter Peter Naulls' initials.' |
|||
* Consider temporarily suspending new accounts. |
