DESTROY SPAM!
From a distance I'm concerned about the rampant lawyerism manifesting itself in Shireroth currently. A simple Kaiserial slap on the wrist or censure by the community should suffice. - Jacobus Loki

Re: Vandal at ShireWiki
Apparently, whatever was done to preserve the forum from spam didn't transfer over to the wiki pages.

Re: Vandal at ShireWiki
Maybe it's not a 'bot. Some poor soul in Asia making .00003 per post?
Similar log-in to the last main page vandal.
It happens in MNN-wiki sometimes 6, 8 times a day.

Re: Vandal at ShireWiki
Considering that the forum and the wiki aren't even on the same *server*, yeah, no surprise the changes didn't transfer over... and even if they did, we can pretty much just thank phpBB3's captchas, and luck, for our lack of spambots.
I'll look into antispam measures for the wiki some day, but it miiiight be slightly problematic...

Re: Vandal at ShireWiki
I thought you had to be sysop to edit the front page...

No. You do need to log-in.

Re: Vandal at ShireWiki
Should put the front page on protection so that only certain people can edit it.

Re: Vandal at ShireWiki
I was thinking of something more like administrative activation of wiki editor accounts... it's somewhat (very) un-wiki-like, yeah, but would be consistent: If we had someone patrolling recent changes as regularly as Shirithian mods and admins (meaning pretty much every Shirithian :-P) patrol new posts and demango the forum, we wouldn't have a spam problem with the wiki... thanks to the fact that the forum is well policed, we don't need to be particular about who we allow to post.

Re: Vandal at ShireWiki
Couldn't we make it harder for bots to register accounts on the wiki? Change a field name or something to throw them off...
