The wikiHaus bots have begun deleting some userpages that might be associated with spam accounts. Has anyone noticed anyone complaining of unjust user page deletions? I want to make sure we aren’t being too aggressive here. Assuming we are doing things well here, we are in the process of deleting tens of thousands of spam userpages. Adios spam

Something must be wrong with the bot, it hasn’t deleted my page yet…maybe it hasn’t gotten around to it?

I’ve seen nothing so far. I don’t imagine any of the ones we have in mind would even NOTICE they’ve been deleted.
Dave Crosby said to give you a heads up – many of the spam-creating users are creating pages under the userpage namespace with the following format: User:Abiabari/profilebox-aboutme User:Abiabari/profilebox-occupation User:Abiabari/profilebox-live Hi, by the way! It’s been a few yearsEdit: More examples – User:GemLN; User:Fananimal; User:Abiabari

Hey @Choicefresh
- good to see you again
Those pages are created automatically by the new user page design - they will be deleted along with the rest of the user page I would imagine.
Hey @Choicefresh
! So great to see you here. It’s been way too long!
Are they really? That’s embarrassing… And there I thought I had an easy way to determine if an account was created by a spambot
FYI, we have now deleted tens of thousands of spam user pages. Bye bye spammers!
