Yes, that Moodbar seems to be nothing short of a complete success:

MoodBar Feedback Spamming
I'm unsure what to do about this; as you can see from Special:Log/Superwikiman01 it seems to be possible to spam thousands of these things and I can't see a way to delete them efficiently. —Xezbeth (talk) 11:44, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

I think this needs to be mass rolled back and the account indef'd. Blackmane (talk) 11:50, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

It isn't even possible to delete them. He was using a bot to mass-spam these things because the WMF was so desperate to push these "improvements" out without any safeguards to prevent this type of abuse (5000 submissions in 7 minutes). Be prepared for more of it. I've blocked the account without talkpage or email access, and am going to file a bug report with bugzilla. Reaper Eternal (talk) 12:13, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

And I've just nailed another vandalbot. Reaper Eternal (talk) 12:40, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Blocked, and blocked User:WikiPrefix 2 hours ago, I've hidden the feedback dashboard contribs of the latter, but the edits are not rollbackable (or I'm not savvy enough to do it). Help would be appreciated, as I'm on smartphone (User:Lectonar).109.45.0.93 (talk) 13:45, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

An example of the logs (x 5000 or so):

Success.

I wonder if the GNAA got the idea after reading an article about the MoodBar that I published on Examiner about 6 weeks ago. Note that I consider Examiner an integral part of the mainstream media; however, others view it more as a glorified blog and/or spam site.

Thekohser you're welcome to link to your articles on your theexaminer blog, I've never said anything suggesting you aren't, since obviously really nasty or false articles would get removed (ironically, the model of administrators monitoring your edits is similar to Wikipedia, did you think about that? )
— Just please don't post them in a way that hides that you are the writer - we don't have a specific rule against opaque/deceptive links, sure, but it should be common sense really... You've been warned about it before, and it's getting to the point where you're just trolling now. No one's saying you have to be honest on Wikipedia, but at least here? I don't think it's that much to ask really. :/

It's not "theexaminer", but "Examiner". It's not a blog, either.

However, I have modified my post to suit you, the owner of this web forum.

That would be the web forum you had a big flounce about leaving isn't it?

Your friends must be very proud. What do you get out of this cheerleading, Michael? Do they allow you access to their parties, or do you just think it's amusing to have a hateful racist epithet in an article title?
