This doesn't need blacklisting as it was only from two SPA users, now blocked, but I'm reporting it here for the record, if that's useful. The two users were mostly replacing dead links with retrieved archive.org copies of same, but copy and pasted onto the massless.info domain rather than just linking to archive.org, and erasing the original URL entirely. There was some straight up link spamming also.

I've fixed or reverted many of the links since noticing this, but some remain. Belbury (talk) 19:15, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

The 75.99 IP has been advised on their talkpage not to add links to their domain by multiple editors. They have been advised a COIN case (linking the entities in the section title) was opened regarding their editing. Yet they continue to add the link, and have not responded anywhere that I see. ☆ Bri (talk) 22:37, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

  • There are a lot of existing links to this that would need to be cleaned up first. It's possible that some of these were added in good faith; would be nice see evidence of additional obvious spamming beyond 75.99.18.219. OhNoitsJamie Talk 23:00, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
  • @Ohnoitsjamie: I added new IPs 173.56 and 172.223 after a non-exhaustive search of the articles referencing the domain. 173.56 is a similar SPA. ☆ Bri (talk) 19:50, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
  • The IP is actively adding "reference" links to the same domain as of today [1] ☆ Bri (talk) 17:51, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
  • And still today [2] ☆ Bri (talk) 19:42, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Perhaps WP:NOTHERE applies here? Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 23:47, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi, @MrsSnoozyTurtle. I can't begin to understand why you've dedicated your holiday season to following me around Wikipedia attacking everything I do. Is everything alright? How did I catch and keep your attention like this? It's been an extremely unpleasant experience. You are punching down.
I am here to build an encyclopedia, and I haven't done anything wrong. I have clearly disclosed on my user talk page that I am an employee of XPO. I am not a paid editor, which is precisely why I have a small number of edits on a small number of topics. I don't spend very much time at all on the site and am still trying to figure out how everything works. My intention is to gradually expand my Wikipedia know-how and editing reach over time. It is my sincere wish that I retain this editing account and be allowed to continue to learn and contribute. Many thanks. Gannymetis (talk) 00:38, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
