Chris, Dossy, et al., Anyone who creates a free account on the wiki is automatically an editor already, right? Isn't that how spammers are already able to post whatever they want and how we're all able to add and edit details about our spaces?
That's a lead in to asking if there's any way we could actually make the wiki less accessible rather than adding editors? We're all already editors and right now pretty much every page is loaded with spam, it has been for months and months, and it shows in the current quality of the wiki. I know this adds an administrative burden to someone, but we could keep it relatively simply by just requiring people to send a paragraph description of who they are in order to get permission, and even have several administrators dealing with the approvals so the workload is distributed? Or is there an easier way? Will On Jun 29, 11:23 pm, Rosie Sherry <[email protected]> wrote: > I've been seeing more spam cropping up.
