	Hi, Old Dickens! I've been looking in a bunch recently, and you've nabbed the spammers pretty quickly. Looks like they're always in about 4-6pm my time. My question for you: The last few days there've been more accounts registered than you blocked. Makes sense - it doesn't look like the unblocked ones created anything. But then, I don't see the creation of the spam pages, either. I can only see them if I look at the deletion log. I just want to verify that I'll see the userpage spam in recent changes if it happens while you're away... or do I have to go somewhere else to see the spam? Thanks for being on top of these folks. And while I'm not nearly as fast as you, I'm on it if you take a few days off. :-) [[User:Moishe Rosenbaum\|Moishe Rosenbaum]] ([[User talk:Moishe Rosenbaum\|talk]]) 15:46, 29 June 2024 (UTC)		Hi, Old Dickens!
