This is just a PSA to remind everyone to use discretion when welcoming new users because I hate to see any of you waste your time talking to bots. As most of you have noticed, our user creation log is full of accounts which were clearly created by bots, because they all follow the same format of FirstnameSurname or NameNumbers. If you're unsure if an account is a fake, do not welcome it until it edits the wiki. Welcoming these accounts which are obviously fraudulent is punishable by being laughed at. Also, do not waste your time putting these accounts on the ban patrol because each account uses a different IP. --EMC ^[TALK] 16:29 Apr 15 2013

I am a bot. That is very true. MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 18:36, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

So basically what the guy is saying is that a wizard could have done it, but he decided not to bother. MrN 21:50. Apr 15. 2013
