New contest. You get 1 point for every reverted spam on ZorMonkeys user page.

Awesome. What are we playing to? --Joannac 23:40, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

It is SO on! --aperfectring 23:44, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

To eternity and beyond! Erm, how about an achievement ribbon? -- Relet 00:07, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Do you get 1 point for each reversion you perform, or one point for each spam message that happened since the last reversion? --aperfectring 02:13, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

I think per revision you do. Do a revert, increment your score by one. -Wmcduff 02:15, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Just to be clear, that's just 1 point each time you clear the page of spam, right? No double points! --James 07:30, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

-I'm wondering what would happen if there were more text on this page to begin with. Seeing as spammers can post their garbage here with impunity, I will put a bunch of equally useless things, to test what happens.
-==Theory #1==

-The spammers delete everything on the page and replace it with their own. That is what seems to be happening now. It is really quite sad, because it means poor ZorMonkey can never have a proper User page and we won't know about him.

-The first attack following my sectionizing the page erased everything before leaving its garbage.
-==Theory #2==
+I like this game! --[[User:James H|James]] 02:42, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
-The spammers randomly select a section to replace with their own stuff. This is supported by the fact that the Main Page Talk gets spammed but not everything is deleted. This theory explains why I am making these sections.
-==Theory #3==
-I don't have a theory number three, but I wanted a third section.
-==Note==
-If this were my page, I would incensed. Absolutely furious. I would want to track the spammers down and remove their various organs through their various orifices. I'm glad for ZorMonkey's blood pressure and legal status that s/he seems to have a more laid back attitude towards this curious targeting.
-==More notes==
-We should enable some [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Anti-spam Anti-spam features]. I've made good experiences with the regex blacklist, and modifying the anti-spam error message. I.e: Blocking any edit containing "*viagra*" (or some of the html that spammers typically use), and not obviously telling that the edits did not succeed. I've never seen my spammers again.
