=== Spammers ===

We have been having intermittent problems with spammers. And while a number of accounts have been used, they all seem to have a common focus.

So it might be a good idea if we could gather more information about these attacks.

One thing, in particular, that I would like to see, is the domain name that they used when verifying their registration. (The part of the email address after the @ sign, ideally with a few preceding characters also.) Just seeing that might tell us something useful about what they are doing (and would also help verify that email verification for registration is actively being used).

Is this something that we can do, now? Or, do we need to ask the mediawiki community for an implementation? --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 21:51, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
