I hate being bothered. I have enough bother in my life, that someone going out of their way to bother me — or, worse, bothering me in a completely negligent and in-passing fashion — is seriously <\/em>irksome.<\/p>\n

I have a wiki, and I have some wiki pages from my late, lamented spy RPG. I do not want to take them down, and refuse to do so in other than my own good time.<\/p>\n

Wikis are easily editable, so occasionally some spammer will get a wiki page and throw crap up there. No problem. They are trivially easy to revert to previous form and to write protect. I should write-protect the whole site, but that’s another story …<\/p>\n

So usually it’s a one-off kind of thing. <\/p>\n

Not with Doron.<\/p>\n

Doron put bad stuff on my wiki.<\/p>\n

I took it off.<\/p>\n

Doron kept trying.<\/p>\n

Doron kept doing it as what was clearly some sort of bot which had been set up. Nothing personal to him\/her. Very personal to me.<\/p>\n

Even after the page was blocked from edit, Doron kept trying.<\/p>\n

And the really irksome parts were (a) it was obviously automated, so Doron had no personal stake in the effort, and (b) even though the page was edit-protected, the wiki software would still register the (unsuccessful) attempt to write to the page. Which means that if I want to keep track of any edits to my wiki (yes) I need ot keep seeing mostly Doron’s failed attempts. Two or three or four notifications a day.<\/p>\n

Rrg.<\/p>\n

So I finally went to the trouble of investigating the IP address used, combing through the access logs.<\/p>\n

Aha. And it’s consistent.<\/p>\n

Blocked.<\/em><\/p>\n

Aaaaand … within a few hours, same (futile) attempt, but from another address. And neither address resolves to the ISP, so there’s a good chance it’s being spoofed, too.<\/p>\n

Irksome. Highly irksome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
