spam links in the wiki
« on: June 13, 2010, 01:21:08 PM »
Unfortunately, I just noticed spam links to "teenchat" were inserted in the wifi wiki page. I deleted them and have restored the wiki page. It's disappointing we have to spend time undoing this type of molestation.

There is a change log so the offending "modifier" can be identified and removed from the user data base. But I suppose they can easily create a new user account.

Sweet Moderators

Any chance of recording IP address against wiki users and banning that IP if it is established that its a true spam breach?
