We seem to have a spam bot on the Vogons wiki. Username: RacoonRider

It's adding a bunch of new spam pages. Example: https://www.vogonswiki.com/index.php/Ne ... KING_TIPS)

Page is still up but with no text inside. Could the mods delete it?

From what I gather, the page itself has been deleted. What remains is only the deletion log, and I'm not sure if the wiki software allows for that to be removed.

But @mwdmeyer might be able to clarify that, as he's the admin.

This one is starting to smell like a bot.

Posts are definitely like an LLM response. He should be investigated.

I dislike any and all spam!!

I enjoy spam on toast with cheese and piccalilli relish... 😉

This looks like a bot, useless AI text + ad link. The only other post by that "user" doesn't inspire much confidence either.

What about this one retro-agent: AI-powered system diagnostics for Windows XP on real hardware ? Three minutes from registration to opening first thread with a."intelligence" style posts.

Spam is annoying but there are posts that feed google Gemini slop like "my computer has problem with OS" without specifications when asked then proceeds with fake remedy after specifying totally incompatible hardware list (a behaviour pattern repeated over and over probably same attention seeker) . Also attention seekers doing pointless things. I won't link them but they waste my time reading.
