Filter parameters

Filter ID:	12
Description: (publicly viewable)
Filter hits:	1,048 hits
Statistics:	Of the last 5 actions, this filter has matched 0 (0.00%).
Conditions:	user_editcount < 2 & action="createaccount" & ( (length(accountname) = 12 & accountname rlike "[B-DF-HJ-NP-TV-Z][aeiou][b-df-hj-np-tv-z][aeiou][b-df-hj-np-tv-z][aeiou][B-DF-HJ-NP-TV-Z][aeiou][b-df-hj-np-tv-z][aeiou][b-df-hj-np-tv-z][aeiou]" & !(accountname rlike "Totaka\|Kazumi")) \| (accountname rlike "^[A-Z][a-z]{3,}[A-Z][a-z]{3,}[0-9]{3,}$") \| (lcase(accountname) rlike "^[a-z]{3,}(?:nomore\|review)[a-z]*[0-9]+$") \| (accountname rlike "^[A-Z][a-z]+19[0-9]{2}$") )
Notes:	One MW spam tool makes 12-letter usernames with alternating consonants and vowels like CvcvcvCvcvcv, e.g. "KazumiTotaka". Another makes usernames that look like NameSurname123. A third makes Abcdefg1977 where the last four digits are always a year in the twentieth century. Finally, Penispillreviewer23 usernames indicate intent to post an obviously COI "review" (i.e. an ad) of a product. Exempted the name of Yoshi's voice actor for excrements and giggles. Changed to disallow. For a couple weeks, this filter achieved its purpose of greatly diminishing pattern registrations, but as of 2012-04-06, the bot that uses the Abcdefg1977 pattern has learned to click through ABUSE filter warnings.
