:Seriously, removing the "Forum talk" namespace might be a solution, but since the problem is very minor and because having a namespace without a matching talk namespace might apparenty lead to technical problems, we've not done anything about it the last time this topic came up. -- [[User:Cid Highwind|Cid Highwind]] 09:45, October 23, 2009 (UTC) |

I'd believe the URL spam part but I haven't seen a single URL in ''any'' of the posts lately. They've all been '''very''' similar to the one above...just strange — [[User:Morder|Morder]] ([[User talk:Morder|talk]]) 10:02, October 23, 2009 (UTC) |

Revision as of 11:15, 23 October 2009
We've been having a problem with Forum_talk namespace spam lately and it's always stupid little statements such as...
Hey been looking at this site for a while now and thought i should sign up and spread the word! I'm clive :) (please move this if its in the wrong place and bare with me, I'm new!)
They're all very similar in nature. I doubt wikia can do anything about it but I never know. Anyone have any clue? — Morder (talk) 07:59, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
- I believe most of the time, it's got something to do with spambots too stupid to find the correct place to dump their URL spam... ;) That one? Hmm... apparently not only too stupid for the "Where" part, but also for the "What" part, as there's not even any spamworthy content.
- Seriously, removing the "Forum talk" namespace might be a solution, but since the problem is very minor and because having a namespace without a matching talk namespace might apparenty lead to technical problems, we've not done anything about it the last time this topic came up. -- Cid Highwind 09:45, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
