I made the mistake of trusting your word; you gave a
supposedly final
warning to Quagga, but didn't follow up on it. Therefore I'll now give
you the final warning: if Quagga isn't banned within 24 hours, I'll
start a script which does everything automatically including changing
proxies as needed, so don't hope that I will tire of it; nor is there
anything else you can do against it. It will run until Quagga is banned.
Too bad you don't understand any other language.
So you all know, there is vandalism going on right now which has the
following characteristics:
*the entire content of a page is replaced with the content: "==Stop
vandalism, or suffer it yourself.=="
*said edits are made to prominent community pages including the village
pump, VfD and Goings-on, and to the talk and user pages of several
prominent users (Jimbo, Heph, RickK) as well as Quagga
*the edits are being made a more-or-less regular intervals, not all in a
splurge - I'd guess they're in the region of about one per minute
*each edit is made by under a different username
*blocking the usernames is having no effect (I suppose because a different
IP is being used for each edit)
Clearly, this could be related to the Wik-script mentioned here.
The vandalism itself is quite easy to spot and rollback, but if it really
is a script and this goes on for hours or days, it's going to get supremely
irritating.
I don't have an opinion on what we should do. This is just for information.
