You dont need an account to read, anybody can read without signing in. When they create an account the get automatic write permission.
I and earlier admins have made 2 suggestions to avoid spam: 1) Write access is not active until x days after creation (typically 4) 2) Write access is not given before approved by an mwiki-admin. Both suggestions were deemed "negative user experience", so the original system remains. jza@: any mwiki admin can block the nich, but you cannot remove a nick that has made comments/pages. rgds jan I. > [1] > http://wiki.apache.org/general/OurWikiFarm#per_wiki_access_control_-_tighten_your_wiki_just_a_little.2C_benefit_just_a_lot > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > > From: "lily regland (Confluence)" <conflue...@apache.org> > > Date: Fri, 6 Sep 2013 06:08:00 +0000 (UTC) > > Please don't forward spam unless it is essential to the reply, and > then remove as much as possible first. > Thanks! > > <snipped spam> > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > >
