Thread:Project:Support desk/Issues with AbuseFilter blocking


 * ''Already reported in 30324 though nobody seems to care.

Hi. I've saw that AbuseFilter started to block users on this wiki. The problem I see is that the same technical error happens here too. Take for example User:Dachan08d block.

Entry in the block log:


 * 07:24, 25 July 2012 Abuse filter (Talk | contribs | block) blocked Dachan08d (Talk | contribs) with an expiry time of indefinite (account creation blocked, angry-autoblock) (Automatically blocked by abuse filter. Description of matched rule: Chinese blogpost spammer) (unblock | change block)

Entry in Special:BlockList - link:

Emphasis added.

As you can see neither the block settings nor the block messages are accurate. You think that the user's IP will get (angry)autoblocked but it results that it's not true despite one of the logs saying it's enabled.

I've also suggested that we should be able to modify the block settings and parametters on each filter.

Worth having a look at. Regards.
