I was going to say something along these lines. Also sucks when a ticket is closed by anonymous with no comment. You never know if it's a core member in a hurry or someone clueless messing around. > Can we require logins for making changes to the wiki too? The wiki is more problematic, I think. Lots more people deal with the wiki, many only very rarely, and some just want to fix a typo or add a bit of information. If there's no other way, I'd say go for it. But how about something like captchas? (I'm not a big fan, would prefer a login, in fact. Just throwing ideas) Another idea for the wiki: allow a small number of anonymous updates (identified by ip), say 3, and on the forth, require a login. So casual users can fix their typos but spam activity is reduced. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
