Kind of wierd to hear vandals calling people childish.
Not sure how indictative the vandal is of the courier community, but it does help affirm my decision with going with binc.

*sigh*, if it happens again, we should consider protecting the wiki with user access. That usually gives us information about the end user, so that we can track him/her down.
It'd be a shame .. see how things go. So far I don't think we would have missed many worthwhile contributions by putting up a slight hurdle to contributors. On the other hand - negative comments could help the wiki grow .. it might be good to have a frank and honest comparison of the IMAP servers out there + a page to list people's uses of binc.
Do you have web logs indicating where the activity came from? If so, we could easily check for repeated access from the wiki vandal.
Just the standard apache logs. It looks like the vandal came in from: 216.150.131.207 and our repairer on: 66.167.121.250 ... it's pretty jumbled though.
Thanks also to whoever went through and repaired the site so promptly.
Indeed! Are we sure that there isn't any junk left anywhere?
Yup - At the bottom of every page there's a 'recent changes' link, which shows links to recently changed pages. You can then follow a link to a page which has been changed and clicked on 'page revisions' at the bottom of the page - which shows the changes for that page in diff form.
I do a bit of a check through every couple of weeks or so, mostly out of curiousity. Binc's too solid :) .. Having something that just works makes it hard to find the motivation to check in more often. It's cool there's someone else out there who must be going through as well.
