AnandTech Forums Wiki is BACK!

[slayer202]

making it not-easily editable will basically kill it imo. it might be a pain, but banning anyone who is screwing around is probably the only way to keep it clean and active

 

[JD50]

Yea making the wiki not editable by anyone goes against the spirit of a wiki. Just ban the morons that can't behave.

And thank you esquared, that was insufferable.

K, only administrators can edit the notable users page, so if anyone wants a change done, please ask.

if you also want your page locked/uneditable except by admins, pm me or crono.

dang. I wanted to make an entry for spaceman, as it is a crying shame that he doesn't have an entry yet. I wanted to make something up, but I just copy-pasted this from a post of his today, as I felt it was apt:

oh luuudes?
its been a long time since those
im sober as that judge on the jacko trial
im a bit lonely

lulz.

can this be done?



also, I was trying to find a citation (as requested) for the comment on schneiderguy, as I know he has suggested as much himself. ...but after 10 minutes of searching threads with the term "schneiderguy's penis," I realized that my life priorities were out of whack, so I stepped away from the computer.

I'm not taking a mods vouch as undeniable proof, I want a photo that the community can scrutinise, incase you just download a photo of some random family and post it for a mod to see.

this is like that thread were Casiotech accepts the challenge to post pics of his half-naked girlfriend and starts calling everyone out, and everyone starts calling him out....only this is considerably more lame.

Can someone add Bamacre?

Wait....isn't that what everyone does on the weekend?

Looks like spammers are making accounts now :thumbsdown:

 

[Ichinisan]

Kill the spammers, Crono.

 

[dave_the_nerd]

Many, many spammers.

 

[Crono]

Kill the spammers, Crono.

Yeah, haven't been on to check in a while. That's a TON of spammers

I disabled account creation for now - going to go into database and clear our all the spam accounts, change the settings for the wiki a bit, and see if I can reopen the site to be edited with stricter policies in place and more tools to quickly remove any spammers. Hopefully will get that done before this weekend.

sigh.. I see that the wiki is down :'(

Does this mean that we don't exist?

[shortylickens]

oh

 

[Crono]

Not sure it's worth bringing back yet again. When it was open, people kept editing it to write nasty things about moderators, and when it's closed to a few contributors not enough was being updated.

 

[Red Squirrel]

How about making the registration send a PM here? When you register you enter your AT username and it not only sends a confirmation email but also a confirmation PM, and both have to be clicked.

Would need mods' permission to setup a secondary account though, that would be used strictly for the site to send PMs.

Hi DanTMWTMP
I was looking on the net for info on irritating sensation under my thumbnails and came across an old post by you asking the same question, Were you able to find anything out about your condition as I have the exact same symptoms and would be interested to find out what causes it and how to treat it Thanks

Mods locked that thread after plastic man bumped it...just because the thread was old. Plastics man is still looking for an answer.

I miss this place!
