Your block of Swostika Neupane

[edit]

Thanks for blocking the ref-spammer. It looks like there's some sockpuppetry going on here. Himalayan00 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has been posting the same group of tour-guide related websites, as have a bunch of IPV6 addresses. 10mmsocket (talk) 15:53, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm putting a SPI report together at the moment. 10mmsocket (talk) 16:06, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
...thanks for the block 10mmsocket (talk) 16:07, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@10mmsocket I'm not surprised. Where there's one spammer, there's normally more. I'll run a CU when I get chance. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:09, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@10mmsocket Found a few more. They're sharing some pretty broad ranges with lots of other editors, including good-faith contributors, so I'm loathe to make large range blocks. I'll blacklist the domains though. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:57, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here's the list of links involved. Probably more.
And here's the list of IP's and users
These are also likely involved
Happy to pull all this together as an SPI if you would rather me do that. 10mmsocket (talk) 17:04, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And one more
Thanks. 10mmsocket (talk) 17:07, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@10mmsocket I've blocked all the accounts (and quite a few more) and blacklisted all the domains. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:04, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Roger & out. 10mmsocket (talk) 20:36, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No worries. I'll take all the link spammers you want to give me. Might take me a day or two but I like breaking up these spam rings. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:24, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Crab IP address thing again (q_q)

[edit]

Hi again, HJ. Seemingly immediately after the IP ban of 143.44.169.184 expired, this edit popped up. Based on the current state of the talk page, I'm almost led to wonder if they're using an LLM to generate garbage, but then the grammar leads me to believe it's likely hand-written.
