I don't know if you're aware, but for the past month, we've been seeing a rise in spam on the site. Well this week, that has turned into a bombardment of spam. I blocked no less than 10 accounts tonight alone. But the crazy thing is, they aren't bots, as I've seen in their contributions where they've edited or removed their forum threads, and even uploaded images.

I'm not really sure how to stay ahead of this one. I've blocked each account permanently, and temp-blocked the last IP address used by each account. With this latest round of bots tonight, I've also started blocking any logged-in user from editing at that IP address. I'm hoping that won't block out any legitimate user, but I'm not sure what else to do to combat this.

If these further blocks don't cut back on the spam, is there anything we can do with Wikia to block these guys? Cause this is just nuts.
