I got enough from the anons. In these four days, eleven different anons vandalized, six made Bad Edits (modifying the plot of a story), three created a spam page.

Now, I took the time to check the anons that the Abuse Filters have blocked. Maybe I didn't read them right, but these are the results I gathered:

This is the amount of anon vandalism the Abuse Filters have stopped:

One (Adding senseless words to a story)

This is the amount of anon good edits the Abuse Filters have stopped (typo corrections, formatting, similar):

Three

Now, I'll give credit where it is due, the Abuse Filters have stopped a lot of stories from anons, and some of those anons made accounts to post them. And this has stopped spam pages as well, I think...However! The Abuse Filters have failed to avoid the most important thing to avoid: vandalism and the replacement of the content of a page with senseles stuff.

This anon thing isn't working. Vandalism is still happening, and so far the Abuse Filters seems to be working more on stopping page creation, which still works on registered users, so...yeah. The spampage creation has been filtered a little, but the main problems are still in need to be fixed.

EDIT: Just had to warn another for Bad Edit. I have seen the AbuseFilter stop 11 bad edits, and have counted 15 cases where one anon has undone anonymous vandalism
