[02:45:49] <MirahezeRelay>	 <collei_no_last_name, replying to raidarr> I think they're a Chinese speaker
[02:46:15] <MirahezeRelay>	 <collei_no_last_name> I moved Meta:Captcha to a subpage of their user page
[02:46:52] <MirahezeRelay>	 <collei_no_last_name> If anyone here speaks their language maybe they could explain the issue to them
[02:50:53] <MirahezeRelay>	 <globe_x, replying to collei_no_last_name> Requested deletion of that redirect
[02:51:22] <MirahezeRelay>	 <globe_x> Also https://aika.miraheze.org/wiki/Agent_AIKa_Wiki:Users_blocked_from_the_IP_Information_tool
[02:52:55] <MirahezeRelay>	 <collei_no_last_name, replying to globe_x> Not sure why that's still not deleted
[02:53:02] <MirahezeRelay>	 <collei_no_last_name> @CVT
[02:53:16] <MirahezeRelay>	 <globe_x, replying to collei_no_last_name> It was recreated
[02:53:42] <MirahezeRelay>	 <collei_no_last_name> Oh wow
[02:53:56] <MirahezeRelay>	 <collei_no_last_name> That's unfortunate
[02:54:24] <MirahezeRelay>	 <globe_x, replying to collei_no_last_name> Yep, see https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/743072681057845378/1216846459727515708
[02:54:45] <MirahezeRelay>	 <collei_no_last_name> I searched AbuseIPDB and checked IP information and I think most of the B2B spam pages with vague contact information is the same spambot
[02:56:24] <MirahezeRelay>	 <globe_x> I also wonder why they chose this title to spam at
[02:56:42] <MirahezeRelay>	 <collei_no_last_name, replying to globe_x> My theory (which I have no evidence of) is that they try to target redlink pages
[02:56:58] <MirahezeRelay>	 <collei_no_last_name> "Users blocked from the IP information tool" is a common redlink on special pages
[02:57:17] <MirahezeRelay>	 <collei_no_last_name> They also sometimes create talk pages for pages that exist but have no talk page and put the spam there
[02:57:20] <MirahezeRelay>	 <collei_no_last_name> Could be a coincidence though
[02:57:25] <MirahezeRelay>	 <collei_no_last_name> Maybe the title is just hardcoded
[02:58:11] <MirahezeRelay>	 <globe_x> We will probably never know

[03:20:08] <MirahezeRelay>	 <collei_no_last_name> [1/2] also block this IP (I already removed the spam though)

[03:33:33] <MirahezeRelay>	 <.labster> this is weird spam because it doesn't even have outbound links
[03:33:43] <MirahezeRelay>	 <collei_no_last_name, replying to .labster> I'm pretty sure the spambot is misconfigured in some way
[03:33:50] <MirahezeRelay>	 <collei_no_last_name> They're probably trying to leave their contact information but doing it wrongt
[10:47:12] <MirahezeRelay>	 <globe_x> @.labster Could I bother you to handle an Apex vandal?

[10:58:55] <MirahezeRelay>	 <wolfofthenyght> saying "unlock my account" followed by slurs is definitely not a way to get the account unlocked
[10:59:04] <MirahezeRelay>	 <wolfofthenyght> infact quite the opposite
[11:30:43] <MirahezeRelay>	 <globe_x> yep
[12:07:43] <MirahezeRelay>	 <raidarr> apex has done this since god knows when
[12:07:48] <MirahezeRelay>	 <raidarr> never changed, never will until proven
[12:08:24] <MirahezeRelay>	 <raidarr, replying to collei_no_last_name> I'm not sure we have many on hand, japanese speakers yes...
[12:08:51] <MirahezeRelay>	 <raidarr> we've gotten some chinese speakers but to put it politely they really didn't know how meta worked much at all
[18:41:22] <MirahezeRelay>	 <collei_no_last_name> 1108-Kiju speaks some Chinese
[18:41:25] <MirahezeRelay>	 <collei_no_last_name> IDK how much
[18:41:36] <MirahezeRelay>	 <collei_no_last_name> zh-2 apparently
[18:50:41] <MirahezeRelay>	 <raidarr> I'd poke him in a real pinch ie with certain wiki requests
[19:58:14] <MirahezeRelay>	 <globe_x> @.labster @serverlessharej As board members, can you confirm this is an actual staff account? https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Alex_(Miraheze)
[19:58:43] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bluemoon0332> I confirm
[19:58:51] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bluemoon0332> In fact, that's me
[19:58:59] <MirahezeRelay>	 <globe_x> Nice, nevermind
[19:59:08] <MirahezeRelay>	 <globe_x> Sorry for the confusion, just wanted to verify
[19:59:21] <MirahezeRelay>	 <rhinosf1> Should the account creation log not say?

[20:00:20] <MirahezeRelay>	 <globe_x, replying to rhinosf1> I just saw it in the CVT feed and just clicked on CA
[20:00:31] <MirahezeRelay>	 <globe_x> Should've looked in the creation log, mb
[20:00:40] <MirahezeRelay>	 <rhinosf1> Not sure why @cosmicalpha didn't use his official account though

[20:13:27] <MirahezeRelay>	 <cosmicalpha, replying to rhinosf1> Because as of now I only use that for T&S not SRE
[20:15:35] <MirahezeRelay>	 <rhinosf1> Hmm
[20:15:57] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bluemoon0332> It's not mandatory after all
[20:16:57] <MirahezeRelay>	 <bluemoon0332> I only requested that because my main has IA and wiki creator on Meta and wanted to keep the sysadmin userrights separate
