Wiki accounts

Post by Jaysds1 »

For the wiki accounts, do we need to register again?
or are they going to be restored when the time comes?

At the moment I would recommend holding off on registering, but yes, you will need to register again. Right now the wiki is being heavily spammed by bots because I haven't been able to find any decent anti-spam for it yet, so I may need to wipe the database again. So far, well over 500,000+ bots have registered as of 2 days ago, and they won't stop changing things. This domain has become incredibly popular for them to target.

Ok, I don't mind for now;
and bots are really annoying so I would give you time to do what you have to do.

Excuse the double post...

Is it possible for you to use the Google Captcha for detecting bots?

At one point we did, however a modification for MediaWiki that uses the latest version is not yet available. The older version bots have cracked very easily already, and it has led to a similar issue.
