Re: [ gpsdrive ] wiki spam: msg#00008

Subject: Re: [ gpsdrive ] wiki spam
Alright, I did something contrary to the whole concept of "wikis", but the spam bots are ridiculous. I would argue that some of the users and edits were actually done by a human, which means there's no easy way to get rid of the problem...

...except...

to lock the logins so only existing users can create new accounts.

So for now, it's locked up tighter'n a bull's a** in spring, as it were.

Hamish, you have sysop privileges. You can create accounts by going to the "Special Pages" link in the "Toolbox" on the left-hand side of the wiki layout, and clicked "Create Account or Log In." Enter in the new user's login and email, and click "By email." This will send them the login information and a random password.

If you want to promote a normal user to be sysop, click "Make a user into a sysop" near the bottom of the Special Pages page.
