All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXVI
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXVI
I'm pretty sure why those spammer accounts aren't doing anything.

Spambots cannot help themselves. No sooner do they make their account they try to post links. The fact we've seen nothing means Miraheze has a global filter in place to recognize this and automatically "hellbans" (no one the user end sees the spam as it's silently rejected without blocking the account) the spam. This actually works better for dealing with spam to avoid tipping off the spammers lest they change their tactics. Without a formal ban message sent back to the spam maker, they have no reason to think it didn't work and their stuff is silently killed off without them being the wiser.
