The FA article, Music of Nigeria, is getting hit
with a pretty vicious bot
attack -- name-change bot, a new one appears every time the old one's
reverted. It's become necessary to semiprotect this article, as well as
the
Costa Rica elections article that's also linked off the mainpage. Each
time
the semiprotection's lifted, the attacks start back up again within
minutes. Hoping somebody around who has checkuser can look into it and
see
about foiling the originating IP ...
Thanks.
Dynamic AOL IP, I'm afraid.
Last time we were hit with a random-username creating bot, we blocked
all of AOL and said "consequences be damned". Now that we are bigger
than AOL, we *must* demand action on their part.
