Pruning wiki users, is there an extension for that?

If you manage any wiki you know that spamers love them. They just drop by, register a new users, and add some link spam.

Now, there is an extension for MediaWiki wikis to remove all the spam pages, Nuke. But what do you do about all the spam users? Is there an extension for bulk blocking users?

I would like one that does he following:

  • Lists all users
  • That aren’t blocked
  • With how many posts they have made
  • And a check box to add them to the bulk block list
  • Then select the duration, reason, and click bulk block

Once you have cleared out all the spam pages you need some way to mass block all the zero post users that will just post link spam again in the future.

I found the MediaWiki Extensions Matrix/user rights page, but there is nothing there that seems to fix my purpose.

Any suggestions on what extension to use?
Or will I just have to write it myself?

Twitter Tools causing my blog to hang on post

I apologise to all those people having to deal with my/their twitter stream being spammed. Was having a problem with the blog hanging on posting a new entry. And needed to do some testing.

From all my testing I can say that the Twitter Tools plugin is causing my blog to stall when I post a new entry.

I’m not sure why and don’t have the time to work it out right now. Maybe I will try turning off everything else and see if it is still a problem. But not right now, it will have to wait.

Go for the rubbish 3 pointer (photo)

Have you seen all those pink dots around the Sydney CBD? It appears there are pink basketball markings down a pedestrian mall near Wynyard.

So if you are in the area after lunch, try a 3 pointer into the bin with your rubbish.

Go for the 3 point rubbish

Shopping for trouble, trolleys & fire exits don’t mix

There are people who walk ‘their’ shopping trolley back home to this apparently block. But those that leave their trolley in front of the Fire Exit, despite the KEEP CLEAR sign, are just shopping for trouble.
