[WikiEducator] Re: Vandalism?
I agree Wayne, We should develop some guidelines applicable to everyone on how to deal with vandalism as well as unintentional editings done by newbies. Nellie and I found this one: http://www.wikieducator.org/index.php?title=Wikieducator_tutorial/Basic_Text_Formatting/Summary_and_FAQsoldid=373321 Cheers 2009/5/31 Wayne Mackintosh mackintosh.wa...@gmail.com Hi Declan, Well spotted and thanks for stepping in a blocking these users :-). I've gone in and reverted the pages to their original versions. WikiEducator has not had a major SPAM problem to date -- and we've been able to manage to deal with the odd spammer rather well. In fact I went to the individual pages myself to block the users concerned -- and saw that you've already done the honours. Thanks :-). I've also checked the offenders contribution history and see that these were the only pages affected. Given recent discussion on constituting work groups -- it may not be a bad idea to get a work group to draft a policy on dealing with SPAM, covering the process how it works, basis for deciding on the level of blocking etc. Thanks again Declan. Cheers Wayne 2009/6/1 Declan declanjmcc...@gmail.com OK then, I blocked 4 user names. If any are in error,please let me know. I did not fix the sites; I'll leave that to the site authors.
