User talk:MF-Warburg/Unexisting image spam
A few older ones[edit]
Hi MF-W, I'm very happy to see you're keeping track of this annoying type of spam!
These pages - if not deleted by us or our local admin friends - will show up in Category:Pages with broken file links and/or at the less reliable and rather useless Special:WantedFiles. I'll add links to that category on User:Mathonius/Checklist small wikis when I have more time. Meanwhile, I know three older spammers that would fit here (see User:Mathonius/Reports/Spambots for an extensive overview of recent spambots):
- 23 May 2012: v:User:209.250.14.23 on v:Ai guide francophone vietnam assistindo panico volto rapidão
- 1 June 2012: sn:User:108.177.138.134 on sn:Que vontade de comer churros guide francophone vietnam
- 2 June 2012: de:n:User:64.87.54.90 on de:n:No Colt no Bradford Which Big 12 play QBs are getting preseason hype in 2010 Anybody AP Top25
Furthermore, they use the same software as the 'epsom salt' spammers. See these block requests and this CU investigation for more information.
