| Hi Arrow! Thanks very much for your help trying to block auto-generated accounts. I just had one question: How are you determining whether an account is a spam account or not? What I tend to do is look at the IP addresses for each new user, and if I catch one that has two or more accounts created in a recent period of time (a month or two), I flag the accounts. But if they've only created one, my confidence isn't so high that they are spam because it's too hard to tell. What method are you using, maybe it's better than mine? Thanks!

| | It's been a while, nice to see you around again :) -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 04:59, 16 October 2012 (UTC) |
| :OK, no problem, I appreciate the effort regardless. Yeah, I'm always afraid of false positively catching someone up in a sweep, that's why I look for multiple accounts from the same IP. I added you to the Check Users group so you can use [[Special:CheckUser]]. It's a time consuming process but it can give you greater assurance that you're banning people who have no intention of contributing to the site. I should talk with Prod about improving our captcha process again.

| It should work fine if you use <nowiki>{{subst:Welcome}}</nowiki>. Then it should properly insert people's names and everything. '''[[User:Procyon|<span style="color:red">Pro</span>]][[User talk:Procyon|<span style="color:grey">cyon</span>]]''' 15:02, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
| | Got stuck and could never finish it. Fortunately I have another game in my sights now; hoping to outdo one fan wiki and one official wikia. --[[User:Arrow|Arrow Windwhistler]] ([[User talk:Arrow|talk]]) 04:02, 9 February 2013 (UTC) |

| Thanks for using Template:File on your recent uploads. I will ask that you do not add CC-BY SA to the files' license section as they are not eligible for fair use under creative commons. It will automatically be filled as fair use through the inclusion of "Icon" in type (see [[:File:CC2 Achievement PilotsLicense.jpg]]) through a more correct licensing. Thank you!

| It looks like you are mostly responsible for the images in [[:Category:Battlestations: Pacific images]]. Did you capture all of these yourself, or were some taken from other places? Just trying to pat down a source before I mess with em all. Thanks. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 04:49, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

| :Same for [[:Category:Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos images]], actually. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 04:51, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
