== Blocking users based on the [[User:Abuse filter|abuse filter]] ==
Hi TrustedInstaller,
While I noted that you haven't acknowledged my guidance notes in the above section, to ensure that you've acknowledged them, since [[w:Wikipedia:Communication is required|two-way communication is so essential]] here, I ''did'' note your recent [[Special:Redirect/logid/9191|block]] of [[User:AurelioCottle|AurelioCottle]] based on their locally ''[[Special:AbuseLog/844|triggering]]'' [[meta:Special:AbuseFilter/18|global abuse filter 18]]. While this block is fine since it's so obviously a spam-only account, I just thought I should advise you that we have a global team of [[meta:Global Sysops|Global Sysops]] and [[meta:Stewards|stewards]] that generally take care of the obvious spam-only account global blocks and locks, to reduce the need for redundant local blocks on multiple wikis.
As well, since the user was prevented by this global abuse filter from inserting patently obvious spam onto any page on this wiki, the [[User:Abuse filter|abuse filter]] did it its job. It is good that you are alert and attentive to these things, but I also just wanted to make sure that you have been advised to be ''very'' cautious when blocking users based strictly on the abuse filters.
Thanks for your understanding and attention to this guidance.
Cheers,
<br />[[mh:meta:User:Dmehus|Dmehus]] ([[User talk:Dmehus|talk]]) 18:56, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
