User blog:Mister Explicit/When Life Gives You Bad Lemons...

According to, the phrase "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade" is a proverbial phrase used to encourage optimism and a positive can-do attitude in the face of adversity or misfortune. Lemons suggest sourness or difficulty in life, while lemonade is a sweet drink.

Hello, I am Mister Explicit and you may be wondering why I added the Wikipedia definition of "" on the top of my blog post - odd way to start, isn't it? If it's any consolation because you might be confused of what this blog post is about - it's about spamming. Recently, we have had a few spamming problems and I will be giving you three tips on what to do and what not to do in a situation like this.

And yes, I have changed my profile picture to a lemonade stand. Don't ask what sparked the lemonade fetish, as I have no clue whatsoever.

Anyways, without further ado...

Do's

 * Wikia Staff Support
 * If a specific spammer is bullying you everywhere you go on multiple wikias, an option would be to report the user to Wikia Staff. This is always an option if spammers cross the line and push your buttons.


 * VSTF Support
 * If you are the administrator of your own wikia and someone is spamming your pages, then another option would be to message a member of the Volunteer Spam Task Force, aka the VSTF. Our wikia has relied on the VSTF during Oceanfall and it proved to be effective as of today.

Don'ts

 * Don't Mini-Mod:
 * As another administrator, MaZano had recently stated - twice, do NOT, under any circumstances mini-mod. What is mini-modding? It means that somebody who isn't a moderator/administrator takes the responsibility into their hands without permission. It is the reason why we have moderators and administrators so leave the modding to them. However, you can help by scouting out any suspicious activity and report it to an administrator or moderator. Check the circumstances of what happens when you mini-mod here.

There are just a few tips on what to do in a spamming situation, everybody. It may not seem like much, but these are some of the more effective methods in preventing spam. Hope this helps!
