Manual talk:Combating vandalism

Just out of curiosity, how are they changing their IP so damn fast? So tiring.

 * Oops, I havent checked this page in a long time. They use proxies. I suggest you do this. Set up Confirm Edit to show the captcha for every anonymous edit. Seeing what that bot is doing on your site, I can safely assume its some advertising bot and not a human, so the captcha will put a stop to that. A real human can use the captcha, they just have to or they can create a username and not have to enter it every time. If its a malicious human doing intentional vandalism, he'll still get around the captcha. The only option then is to disable editing and report the IP addresses if you can (not successful for proxies as there are so many), or install Flagged revisions. I'm still learning what that one is about but it has some nice features. --Choshi 02:40, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
