I think that we have enough spam data to make a spam marking boot and usign the editing api will make the task easier ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I have even created a ticket regarding this, like years ago, but do not remember getting any response. -- Patryk LeadMan Benderz Linux Registered User #377521 () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
wiki spam - urgent
Dear all, mainly old openmoko admins, we have been dealing with the spam attacks on wiki.openmoko.org quite successfully until now, but it s getting more and more difficult. I have now cleared over 600 posts (big THANKS to everyone, who keeps marking spams as for speedy deletion), which is about weekly/biweekly spam dosage, but as every page requires three clicks, you do the math for what muscle memory my fingers are developing :) If there is anyone able to help from the admin side, suggestions have been posted here. http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/User_talk:Vanous on what could/should be implemented to eliminate spambots. We also need more people to be granted erase permissions, i think it is clear from the logs who contributes and is eligible. If admins have no time, is there anyone with mediawiki experiences who could implement the given suggestions easily (given they would need to be granted some required access)? Please stand up. thank you Petr ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
