* For spam deletions and user bans' purposes, access the last 1500 events through the [http://www.atheismunited.com/wikiedit/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&hidebots=0&limit=1500 http://www.atheismunited.com/wikiedit/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&hidebots=0&limit=1500] link (and not the default [http://www.atheismunited.com/wiki/Special:RecentChanges Recent changes] link) to cover all events of busy spammy days.
 
* Before and after verifying the [http://www.atheismunited.com/wikiedit/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&hidebots=0&limit=1500 Recent changes], take a quick look at the [http://www.atheismunited.com/wiki/Main_Page Main page] and [http://www.atheismunited.com/wiki/Huge_list_of_atheist_agnostic_skeptic_humanist_websites Huge list of atheist agnostic skeptic humanist websites] pages to verify if any vandalizing/spamming occurred. Do the necessary rollbacks.
 
* When doing the Recent changes' verification, be on the look-out for any changes to legit pages (roll back as necessary). New spam or spammy user's pages should simply be deleted. Spammers or vandals should be banned for 6 months (3 months or 1 year is acceptable). Do not ban an IP for indeterminate periods, because it means a legitimate contributor, down the road, won't be able to contribute without first sending an email to get his IP unblocked.
 
* Obviously, do not delete legit contributions or legit users (hint: newly created accounts who haven't positively contributed can be considered as sleeper spam accounts and thus can be banned).
 
* Spammy [http://www.atheismunited.com/wikiedit/index.php?title=Special%3ANewPages&namespace=all&username= New Pages (all)] can be more directly accessed and deleted when in damage control mode. Check the history for vandalized legit pages.
 
* Tedious ? Time consuming ? You bet. But that's the price to pay for a good google ranking. Plus, you'll get better and quicker at it (if I can do it, so can you, believe me).
