Vandalism on "IBM PC/XT emulators"

Hey, can you lock that page? MoochMcgee has been shitting it up by removing the PCem recommendation and shilling for 86box(WHICH HE IS A DEVELOPER FOR!). I removed his vandalism, but 189.69.137.140 keeps reverting my changes. Latest unvandalized version: http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php?title=IBM_PC/XT_emulators&oldid=14571

Spam surge from Indian cold-callers

I know it's fairly obvious, but would you mind doing a database purge of these bastards? Blakegripling ph (talk) 10:52, 4 September 2017 (EDT)

Also, it would be prudent to either change the CAPTCHA scheme or add a more robust IP blacklist as countless wikis have been mercilessly inundated by this cold-caller faux customer support shit. Blakegripling ph (talk) 04:34, 5 September 2017 (EDT)
ITEM-3 owns and runs the servers not me, but I've sent him a email asking to change our verification captcha, so it'll hopefully be fixed soon. --SonofUgly (talk) 10:44, 6 September 2017 (EDT)
He should add an IP blacklist as well, and DeletePagesPermanently to purge database traces of the pages in question rather than merely flag them as deleted. And if you ask me, merging all them spambots to a reserve, throwaway account should be in order. Blakegripling ph (talk) 17:47, 6 September 2017 (EDT)
