Re: [sword-devel] wiki vandalism

DM, Minor point If you do remove "even with the 4 day waiting period", then the line in the main page lower panel will require an edit. David -- View this message in context: http://sword-dev.350566.n4.nabble.com/wiki-vandalism-tp4651099p4651102.html Sent from the SWORD Dev mailing list

Re: [sword-devel] wiki vandalism

Vandalism is cleaned up and I'm now moderating new user account requests. Those that want an account have to give their "real name," an email account that they can validate, and a short biography with a minimum required length. When approved that biography will become their user page. Obviously

I'll be cleaning up some wiki vandalism today. For those that clean up the vandalism, please make sure that the old text is not in the block reason. Turns out that a user can post to their own talk page immediately. Has always been the case, even with the 4 day waiting period. And they can ren

[sword-devel] Wiki Vandalism/Spam

About a year ago we started blocking spammers, but we only blocked for a year. They are now reinstated and are spamming again. Bummer. Anyway, we are rolling back their changes as we see them happening and blocking them forever. Our basic spam handling mechanism is to make accounts wait 4 day

[sword-devel] wiki vandalism

It was recently pointed out on our support list that our wiki is being vandalized. It's kinda disturbing, but there is a bunch of vandalism. Mostly advertizement/spam. It is easy to find by going to recent changes. Here is an offensive example: http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/index.php/Talk:Front
