Wiki Registration Spam
« on: May 17, 2011, 21:04 »

Alright, I tried PMing Kornel, guess he didn't notice, and I don't know who else to contact about this.

Someone's been registering a shitload of accounts - he's up to over a hundred now - on the Wiki over the course of several days. They're all the same name, with a number at the end.

Kornel might be a little under the radar at the moment, and as for the Wiki spam, things should look up when we shift over to the new server, where the Wiki authentication and forum authentication are linked.

As it stands, I believe that the only person who can purge these is Kornel himself.  As long as the spammer is not defacing things, I think it might still be somewhat tolerable.

Sorry again for the inconvenience.

I blocked one of the accounts - if he's using one ip adress then maybe it'll stop him, but I won't be holding my breath. As thelaptop said for the most part we're stuck waiting for the server move to be done.
