Travis Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 I've been battling spam accounts on the Wiki for awhile. Its mostly bots creating user accounts. Its pretty time consuming to remove these fake accounts. So I decided I'd turn off new account registrations to the wiki. I also went through the user list and deleted any user that has not contributed to the wiki. This doesn't really affect how the wiki works. You don't need to log in or register if you want to add to a wiki article. You simply click the Edit button and make your changes. If you'd prefer to have a wiki account, you can request one in the forum or from me. If you plan on doing a lot of wiki work, there are some nice tools to track your changes. But like I said, it certainly isn't necessary. Hopefully this move will save me a few hours each week deleting garbage and hopefully deter those dern spam-bots..
