The wiki frontpage had a lot of links to drugs sales. I have removed them. I wounder if it is a wiki bot that adds links to open wikis around the net. |

yeah there was someone who defiled on of the other pages a while back as well, I caught it in under less than a day, but I guess I'm going to have to impliment user authentication. I'll start looking into it. I was hoping to avoid it, but I guess some people just can't restrain themselves. |

If it only causes a few minutes work once a month or so, I'm not sure any policy change is needed. That's the nice thing about wikis, you can revert to the previous page so quickly and anyone can do it! It makes it pointless to defile wikis. |

Yeah I really didn't want to have to impliment logins, to make it easier for everyone to contribute, so I think I'm going to leave it for now, but I am going to research implimenting usernames just in case I have to. So far it's only happened twice, but if It actually is a bot then it may not be feasible to keep up with repairing it manually. |
