No spam.png

Wiki spammers are bad. Chongqed.org is an effort to fight back. Vandalists are even worse. We have to keep hitchwiki free from spam and vandalism. Let's find out how and keep track of solutions.

Here we can collect all the garbage spammers put here, with some links to chongqed.org. That should be quite discouraging...

Blacklist

The following word are on a black list, means, noone can add them to articles. This blocked a lot of spam in the past.

  • casino
  • viagra
  • porn
  • free-resumes
  • playmate
  • erotic
  • valium
  • xanax
  • nude
  • FIELD_OTHER
  • FIELD_MESSAGE

Contact MrTweek if you want to have more added.
