Wiki Spammers

Post by =69.GIAP=TUSHKA »

I am sorry to report that the SEOW Wiki now appears to be overrun by spammers. Check "new pages" to see this. There are hundreds of new pages, mostly in Chinese.

It will take a bunch of work to clean these out of the system.

Is it possible to require admin approval of new registrants? If not, I will reluctantly ask that registration be closed again, and that the spammer's accounts be removed.
C!

Thanks Katana. We will clear those pages out now that you have made the Wiki require admin approval for new registrations.
