I guess I need to ask for spam deletion powers. I hate dealing with spam, and I don't really want to get into this, but it seems like sometimes I'm the only person around when there's fresh spam, and I sometimes get annoyed enough that I want to do something about it. But probably also I'll need to be pointed at some docs on policy and/or procedures. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 11:02, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
: So... if this saves, presumably I have admin privileges. However, there's another spam page up, and I do not see an "admin link on the left" even when I try to edit it. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 14:08, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
:: See "Admin links" at the top, sorry. But what you're looking for for spam deletion is in the dropdown arrow next to the search bar at the top. Warning: Do *not* do IP bans. The IPs that show up are actually the CDN proxies; I don't have things set up properly to recognize the header that Cloudflare uses to identify the origin IP. Also, if you check the "Recent Changes" page, you'll see deletion and rollback links there. Be careful. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] ([[User talk:Short Circuit|talk]]) 14:23, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
::: Ah, thanks. I see the delete mechanism now.
::: And that cloudfront thing is a tough one, since you don't want to enable that http header for people talking to you from IPs they control.
::: But wait.. how can content delivery networks validly act as valid content-providing clients? Perhaps the right thing to do here would be to IP ban all of CloudFront's proxy servers? (At least while they are being advertised as serving in that role?)?? --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 14:37, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
