Title: Nefmoto wiki corrupted by user "Bethhec" Post by: TTQS on November 26, 2011, 03:20:48 AM So user "Bethhec" has totally corrupted the Nefmoto wiki today...
Hats off to open source editing. >:( TTQS Title: Re: Nefmoto wiki corrupted by user "Bethhec" Post by: rob.mwpropane on November 26, 2011, 07:49:32 AM I noticed this last night. I just thought it was "under construction"..... This sucks.
Title: Re: Nefmoto wiki corrupted by user "Bethhec" Post by: carlossus on November 26, 2011, 09:29:07 AM I hope this can be reverted.
Edit: Duh, it's a Wiki of course it can. Done. Hats off to open source editing :) Title: Re: Nefmoto wiki corrupted by user "Bethhec" Post by: Gonzo on November 26, 2011, 12:39:47 PM lol
Title: Re: Nefmoto wiki corrupted by user "Bethhec" Post by: rob.mwpropane on November 26, 2011, 01:40:57 PM Many thanks to whoever fixed it. ;D.
Title: Re: Nefmoto wiki corrupted by user "Bethhec" Post by: Matt Danger on November 26, 2011, 03:24:37 PM I reverted the main page. If anyone finds other pages that have been messed up either revert them or post about it.
The wiki needs tighter user control, there have been a few spam user accounts. Title: Re: Nefmoto wiki corrupted by user "Bethhec" Post by: carlossus on November 26, 2011, 03:40:58 PM I corrected the original problem then it seems user "Sootlan" re-spammed it and Matt then undid that nonsense.
Looks to me like we need another layer of protection. Title: Re: Nefmoto wiki corrupted by user "Bethhec" Post by: Gonzo on November 26, 2011, 08:36:26 PM .
Title: Re: Nefmoto wiki corrupted by user "Bethhec" Post by: TTQS on November 27, 2011, 04:27:07 AM The simple answer would be that prospective Wiki contributors request permission to edit it from a moderator who will make a judgment on their bona fide. To allow anyone to just create an account and crack on potentially corrupting it is a bit naive. The information and knowledge on this website is highly specialised so there's simply no need to allow any Tom, Dick or Harry to edit it.
It's relying on the good will of users to keep checking in and then rolling back to a non-corrupt version when the problem could be eliminated altogether. TTQS Title: Re: Nefmoto wiki corrupted by user "Bethhec" Post by: Matt Danger on November 28, 2011, 07:50:40 AM probably not a bad idea
Title: Re: Nefmoto wiki corrupted by user "Bethhec" Post by: carlossus on December 08, 2011, 01:04:18 AM User Imoolwe jizzed the main page. - undone.
Looks like lots of spambots to me. We need a cool off period from new user creation till edit rights are granted. Title: Re: Nefmoto wiki corrupted by user "Bethhec" Post by: nyet on December 08, 2011, 12:28:02 PM Might want to consider adding RBLs.
Most of these come from known misbehaving bad IP blocks. In any case, reverting spam isn't that difficult. Title: Re: Nefmoto wiki corrupted by user "Bethhec" Post by: Tony@NefMoto on December 15, 2011, 04:42:24 PM Please email or PM directly if this continues to be a problem.
