Links in Wiki promoting websites not related to Tiny Core
Guy:
A few days ago a link was put in the wiki index page which was not related to Tiny Core. This has been removed.
Now the same person logged in with a different user name, and put links in other pages which are not related to Tiny Core. Check out the links on these pages.

With this most recent effort, he is using the user name Robert.
What is to stop him from logging in again in a few days time with another user name, and putting links in other pages which are not related to Tiny Core?
OldAdamUser2:
Clearly that person is scum. (Is that too strong a word?) It is unfair and inappropriate to try to publicize his business by altering our wiki pages by inserting his nonsensical links deep withing the text.
How is this handled on other sites with wiki pages?
gerald_clark:
Many have to approve your registration before you can post to the wiki.
OldAdamUser2:
That may be the route to take--but who would screen applicants? Aand how much trouble would it be for them?
grisxa:
I suggest to rollback all Robert's changes and to delete his account. Or give me ssh access ;) .
Also I've found wiki registration defense ("enter numbers") quite easy to break. This forum has more powerful captcha.
