WikiWLP needs complete anti-spam overhaul...

Postby Kris@WLP » Fri Jan 06, 2012 11:21 pm

The spambots have conquered WikiWLP, thanks to the MediaWiki update which disabled the anti-spam fix the previous version had and which does NOT have an effective anti-spam system that I can install without spending quite a bit of money.

So, reluctantly, I'm going to have to do two things: (1) manually edit the databases to expunge EVERYTHING except WLP entries (and maybe even EVERYTHING- just go to a fresh install) and (2) set editing privileges to admins only. (Admin privs will be by request, granted according to conduct and frequency on these boards.)

Any volunteers to help, step forward.

I've done the reinstall. I'll be working on replacement entries for a while, including trying to make a regular format for character entries and bringing stuff up to current on the various webcomic stories in progress. It might take a while, and I'd still like volunteers to help...
