Hi Guys, We really need to do something with regards to the wiki making it harder to sign up spam accounts, we seem to be getting a couple of dozen of junk accounts a day, with most days having no new legit accounts. I dont want to stop people being able to sign up easily, but at the same time, the way we currently has it seems to be balanced all wrong. Who is it that has admin rights for stuff like wiki extensions and the base settings?

Maybe we could negotiate with him to give one of our people higher access to the website & wiki server. Regards, Krzysztof

We need to do something, of the last 1000 changes yesterday over 550 were me blocking spam accounts or deleting spam pages, pretty much all the rest were spam acc sign ups. we may as well not have a public registration page for all the good its doing us.
