As announced on the Forum, today we were targeted by a particularly nasty and persistent set of spambots. Most contributors to the wiki have been blocked, but for the time being, a kluge has been arranged that allows you individually to continue editing, not least so you can help deal with additional spam problems as they arise. That involves at least temporarily making you a "sysop" with the ability to delete pages, etc. I don't know whether that will be a lasting thing, and for the time being, I would recommend you not do too much with the extra buttons that a sysop has (I presume you've seen those), since we haven't cleared with Impy the idea of making you a sysop permanently. However, we could use the help. Please drop me a message on my talk page if you want to consider sysopping on a more permanent basis. -- [[User:Graybeard|Graybeard]] 15:12, 10 June 2007 (CDT) | As announced on the Forum, today we were targeted by a particularly nasty and persistent set of spambots.

Re: Thank-You note
That was SL's idea, and a good one. (I've modified it slightly.) Anyway, we who spend lots of time messing with the wiki very much appreciate your help, and an entertaining opportunity to provide more, and more interesting, help is in the offing that I can't yet say much about. Will let you know when it pops up; you'll like it, I'm pretty sure of that. -- Graybeard 08:40, 4 June 2007 (CDT)
Spambot problems
As announced on the Forum, today we were targeted by a particularly nasty and persistent set of spambots.

Policy page
I've started a The Heretic Knowledge Vault:Policy page to help set up access/block/protection guidelines. These will become useful when the software gets upgraded to allow new security measures, and I think they should be informative even now.
