RE: [fw-general] Wiki Spam

2008-04-12 Thread Wil Sinclair
I'll see if there is an easy administrative action to do this, but
honestly when Thomas brought it up I didn't see it as worth spending
much time on considering the pressures at the moment. Now that the 1.5
release is behind us, I'll try to see what I can do in no more than an
hour. :)

Re: [fw-general] Wiki Spam

2008-04-12 Thread Thomas Weidner

Hy Michael,

Everyone can do this for his own proposal...
I reverted them for my 6 proposals already on 5.March and wrote Wil a 
message about the illegal editing.
This sort of failure has already shown up about 3 times in past but until 
now there is no bugfix available for it.


And as every proposal author get's an anouncement when his proposal is 
changed or is commented this should not be a real problem.

Asses? Now, come on- we're not all that bad. :D I reviewed those edits a
 while back- they seem to have been made across many documents all at
 once. I believe this around the same time that Karol created this
 proposal:
 http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Zend_Font+-+Karol+Babioch.
 There seems to have been a string substitution that affected a few
 proposals. I'm not sure how this happened- maybe a system error or Karol
 scripting something that he shouldn't have. I came to the conclusion
 that these weren't particularly malicious edits, and if Karol is guilty
 of anything it's creating placeholder proposals (please everyone, let's
 not do this) and inserting references to his own proposal in others.
 Generally it's extremely poor form to edit an author's proposal without
 his or her knowing. If there are any more recent or destructive errors,
 please let me know ASAP.
 Karol- if you're out there- do you know what happened?

 Thanks.

,Wil

Asses? Now, come on- we're not all that bad. :D I reviewed those edits a
while back- they seem to have been made across many documents all at
once. I believe this around the same time that Karol created this
proposal:
http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Zend_Font+-+Karol+Babioch.

[fw-general] Wiki Spam

2008-04-10 Thread Michael B Allen
Be on the lookout for Wiki spam. The Use Cases section on this page:

  
http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Zend_Auth_Adapter_Ldap+-+Michael+B.+Allen

was modified to point to a Zend_Font proposal. The References section
on that page has a link to an external site which I presume is
directly or indirectly responsible. Also not that the links to the
user 'Karol Babioch' look fake which could be an artifact of something
more sinister.

I'm not going to do anything so that people can see what's going on
and so that the powers at be can properly asses and fix this problem.
