[Foundation-l] AbuseFilter to be enabled on all Wikimedia wikis by default today

Let me rephrase in a slightly less trollish manner.

Perhaps fittingly, the abuse filter has been active on English Wikipedia for
some time. And even better, it is not a "sysop" group right. Instead it has
its own group.

If you are volunteering to head up the abuse filter team and work to
implement filters to  filter out the mass of junk and long term abusers,
please let me know and I will be happy to give you the permission!

Otherwise.. perhaps get off the high horse? ;)

That sucks, I was trying to sort out the dire lack of coverage of my local
history, but I guess you are right. Sorry - you won't find me near content
ever again. Sorry!
