Project:Requests/User rights/Leaderboard

User: Leaderboard
I often notice pages (especially userpages) which contain spam content or otherwise clearly unsuitable for MediaWiki. Currently I need to request speedy on the talk page (can't do it on userpage as I get hit by the abusefilter). I would appreciate if I could receive admin rights here so that I can do that myself.

I also plan to import some of the abusefilters from the English Wikibooks (where this type of spam is combated very well).

Note that I'm also a sysop on the English Wikibooks.

Thanks in advance. Leaderboard (talk) 21:51, 8 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Special:Abusefilter/57 is the problem. Membership in the  group would suffice to allow editing these pages. I just wanted to point this out, I'm not against the request for adminship. Additional abusefilters would probably be nice considering the amount of vandalism that we get here. --MGChecker (talk) 13:30, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I've waited for over 5 weeks, but no response. Can someone please grant my request? Pinging and  to nudge them to this. Thanks. Leaderboard (talk) 16:38, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
