Currently I'm not collecting emails but am requiring a member account and login. So far that has stopped virtually all spam. And this is the first time we've had "misconduct" if that's what it was. If it continues to be a problem, I could increase the precautions (by requiring members to request access to a authorization group for editing, like we used to do). But I want to make it as easy as possible for people to contribute to the documentation.
These are great ideas though. If we continue to have problems, we should come back to them and discuss them some more. I'm hoping though, things can stay as they are, and the page deletions were an isolated incident. And fortunately, it was easily corrected.
