| − | '''Slime Tube Adventuring Script''' - ([http://kolmafia.us/showthread.php?2596 download here]) '''Author:''' [http://zachbardon.com/mafiatools/details.php?a=alhifar Alhifar] | + | Sorry guys, been busy lately. Here's my take: |
| − | * Complete automation for the Slime Tube.
| + | # The original "protect this page" was equal parts frustration & experiment. The experiment was fruitful, in that we learned something, but unfortunately not what we wanted to. IE it didn't stop the spam, it just moved it. So unless anyone can think of something useful to add to that process, we should think carefully about that option. (Note: this does NOT apply if the spam moves on its own to a useful page). |
| − | * You set up the outfits for maximum ML and minimum ML. The script then switches between them.
| + | # As mentioned above, this page isn't all that useful. I mean, yeah, kinda, but it's easy to make a new one for the content, and just leave this one here as a spam honeypot. (Plus, it's name isn't one that represents what I was trying to move the wiki away from, as the ASHRM one did.) |
| − | * It even allows you to chose to kill or tatter slimes.
| + | # Long-term solution would be to bug fewyn to make the changes mentioned above. I think I'm going to go ahead and do that, since we all seem to agree that it's the best idea. But I'm not going to pressure him to hurry; it looks like you guys have stayed on top of things fairly well, so no major need to have it done RIGHT NAOO. |
| − | * The variety of options allows every type of Slime Tube play, even a slimeling run, to be automated.
| + | # I'm likely to be busy for the near-to-mid future with personal junk. (Possible divorce, ew.) From this point on, I'd like to designate Bale as being officially, 100% in charge of day-to-day operations (fewyn of course keeping the "final say," when he wants it). Thanks for all of your efforts! |

Guess we'll have to wait another 25 before being really sure that spambots won't target any other pages. --Heeheehee 21:23, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
- Isn't there a way to make it so that only registered users can edit pages? That would keep away lots of spam bots----Icon315♕ (☎|♤) 22:00, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
- It seems that only fewyn can change permissions. --Bale 23:49, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
- Yep. "(alternative solution, pester Fewyn to restrict editing to logged-in users only, but we'd have to wait for him to respond)" --Heeheehee 05:56, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
- We try not to bother fewyn about the wiki as much as we can get away with. Not making fewyn work except for something important is one of our guiding principles. However I think that this may be important. But what does StDoodle think? --Bale 07:07, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
Sorry guys, been busy lately. Here's my take:
- The original "protect this page" was equal parts frustration & experiment. The experiment was fruitful, in that we learned something, but unfortunately not what we wanted to. IE it didn't stop the spam, it just moved it. So unless anyone can think of something useful to add to that process, we should think carefully about that option. (Note: this does NOT apply if the spam moves on its own to a useful page).
- As mentioned above, this page isn't all that useful. I mean, yeah, kinda, but it's easy to make a new one for the content, and just leave this one here as a spam honeypot. (Plus, it's name isn't one that represents what I was trying to move the wiki away from, as the ASHRM one did.)
- Long-term solution would be to bug fewyn to make the changes mentioned above. I think I'm going to go ahead and do that, since we all seem to agree that it's the best idea. But I'm not going to pressure him to hurry; it looks like you guys have stayed on top of things fairly well, so no major need to have it done RIGHT NAOO.
- I'm likely to be busy for the near-to-mid future with personal junk. (Possible divorce, ew.) From this point on, I'd like to designate Bale as being officially, 100% in charge of day-to-day operations (fewyn of course keeping the "final say," when he wants it). Thanks for all of your efforts!

Isn't this cute? The spambot has created a new section with a nonsense name so that our discussion wasn't deleted. I don't know what to make of it. I'm leaving the section header here just 'cause I'm curious if future spambots will use it or create their own nonsense sections. I suspect the later.

- Times this page has been spammed: 14. Also, uh, what was up with the latest spam hit? --Heeheehee 23:53, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
Okay, that WAS weird. It never crossed my mind that it might over-write only the first section, leaving this one untouched. Just puzzling. --Bale 00:39, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
