Wiki spam
Posted: 18 Nov 2010, 19:53
Hi,
The spam user Utobaten replaced the Wiki front page with a link to a spam site last night, and I just fixed it this morning. I had seen this user replace my Electrochemistry page last week, and I was able to fix it within a half hour, but didn't catch this one for over twelve hours. Please delete this user immediately.
Unfortunately, this is not the only spam user we've seen. I suggest that new users require approval, and that approval require a brief description of use of Elmer, making it much more difficult for spammers to get into the system and make these changes.
Any comments/thoughts?
Thanks,
Adam
