Tolkien Gateway > Forums > Increase in malicious activity

It’s been hard not to notice an increase in malicious edits and bot activity recently.

In particular repeated edits by the same people, which keep needing to be rolled back. Is there any steps that can be taken to prevent these people from contributing, such as IP blocks? JR Snow 08:16, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
