We had 3 spam bots this night (and 4 during the whole day). All are banned and their threads removed now.

If you see a spambot, directly report them to an admin with a link to the contributions page of the user. If you are a moderator, remove the threads.

All of the korean spam is done by the same spambot. This bot seems to act through newly created accounts (since no account has any contributions on any wikia) and always behaves the same. It always attacks the suggestion forum, probably because it notices that there is the most progress. Don't waste your time translating the messages, it's always nonsene repeated many times. I have no idea why the formating of this nonsense can change from thread to thread or why one of the spambots today edited its own messages.

It's good that Wikia has a limit for editing speed as a defence against bots. Otherwise we would not have 15-25 spam threads per user but at least 100.

I have no idea to prevent more spambot attacks in the future. Maybe we should ask community central for help, maybe we should finally set up an own anti-spam bot.
