To continue what I started earlier (I had to leave hastily):
I am dismayed by the amount of SPAM in the Slimdevices wiki. I would
volunteer to help filter it, but I don't know who to contact.
It seems like it's far too easy for a SPAMMER to register and create a
topic. Every topic show up on the
Firstly, I haven't read this entire post or even skimmed it properly, so
I apologize if I'm being hasty.
Are the Slimdevices wiki sysops active lately? If I read the
"administrators" user list correctly, it looks like there are 79 people
with administrators role. Five were added in 2010, none so
Does anyone know how I can contact the people who drift the wiki server?
Right now, it seems more than 95% of the contributions are by spambots.
The situation is not sustainable IMO.

the default.

I noticed there's been a lot less (as in none at all) spam on the wiki
lately. I hoped it had something to do with filters being implemented
or something, but when trying to move a page today I discovered it
couldn't be done. Saving doesn't work either.

Hi Soulkeeper-
Michael just alerted me about this thread...sorry, I don't track the
General Discussion forum much.
I've added you to the groups: Sysops, Bureaucrats, Managers on the
wiki. That should give you sufficient privileges to block spammers. PM
me via the forum if you have trouble.
