opposite effect achieved. Considering nuking the whole thing.


hey cool well why don't you consider looking at one of the links I've pm'd you and fix the wiki(it won't take you more than ten minutes)?

I mean really why do you even have FTP if you're not going to do anything?

What we need is permission for only certain members to edit it.

I agree partially in that he should be working on it now, but we're talking about when he fixes it what mesures should be put in place to prevent it.

Daman got him a plug-in who knows how many months ago that would pretty handily prevent a lot of ♥♥♥♥. Really all he has to do is give someone who can handle it wiki admin.

A few people are capable of doing it, it's just a matter of getting weasel to do anything.

Hush.

We've already got wiki admins. The issue is, admins can't do anything but revert the spam and block IPs(users can revert the spam anyways and I've seen NOBODY trying to).

I've got sysop and beauraucrat, but what I don't have, and what is essential to implementing either a honeypot-based spambot ban or simple anti-spam rule system is FTP.

which only weasel has.

Abusefilter is up and working. Blocked its first linkspammer today. I'll give the ability to modify unrestricted filters to trusted users if they register and prove they're helping out.

I also recommend you REGISTER when editing the wiki, as most anti-spambot filters do not apply to you in that case.

Also, more updates to come as I fix my currently inactive syntax highlighting extension.
