== 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, |
