WTF happened? Who the hell is this Nrudds guy and why the hell did he wreck just about every article? I can't understand why anyone would want to smash up this wiki.. Luminar 15:34, 1 March 2006 (CET)

It was a very aggressive spammer. He spammed each page with a different user created especially for that purpose. It was easier for me to revert this by first assigning all these edits to a single user.
As for why he would do this? Seems he's just unscrupulous and clueless. All external links are marked with "rel=nofollow", so search engines don't index them, and even if they would, lots of links from a single site aren't going to count more heavilly. And we don't have public access logs, so it's not going to count there either. He'll only make the spam defence more aggressive.

Anyone know how to do reversions?

What I mean is, when it says on the recent changes page (Reverted to last version by ____). I've taken the liberty of cleaning up spam every now and then, but I can't find the easy and clean way to do it. I'm assuming this is a moderator-only command? Luminar 17:03, 5 March 2006 (CET)
