== Promotion ==<br />
Hey, CSY - you've done a lot of edits to this wiki, I could use someone to help patrol for spammers and whatnot. Do you mind helping out with admin work? --rbos<br />
<br />
Hello rbos, I've previously had experience with administrating another wiki. Therefore, I know how some of the '''sysop''' powers work, and would be glad to oversee the wiki's growth. --[[User:ChallengeSpaceYard|CSY]]<br />
<br />
Cool, thanks. Let me know if there's any policy decisions to discuss. --rbos<br />
<br />
== E-mail requirement ==<br />
hey, I set it to require a confirmed email address. Sucks, but maybe it'll help. Sorry I haven't been around much lately, Skyrim. :P --rbos<br />
<br />
It may take a while before we get long-term effects. --[[User:ChallengeSpaceYard|CSY]] 23:12, 10 December 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Enabled FancyCaptcha instead of the broken one that wasn't even properly enabled. Not sure what I was smoking. Currently enabled for sysops too for testing. --rbos<br />
<br />
So far, so good. Hopefully we'll see less spam. I just tested a link to Planets 4 in the [[Sandbox]], with minor troubles. --[[User:ChallengeSpaceYard|CSY]] 09:15, 11 December 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Also. Is it necessary to use the CAPTCHA on every edit? I normally see this tactic used when new external links are made. --[[User:ChallengeSpaceYard|CSY]] 09:20, 11 December 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Thanks for the signing tip. Also, I've set it to require captcha on create page, edits that add URL, createaccount, and badlogin. --[[User:Rbos|Rbos]] 18:12, 11 December 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
If this doesn't work, I'll put in some extra effort and implement Question captcha, which lets me define custom questions, like "What is the solution to two plus two?", or "Type the word 'four'." --[[User:Rbos|Rbos]] 18:14, 11 December 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Definite improvement so far. -[[Special:Contributions/173.180.198.152|173.180.198.152]] 00:50, 14 December 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Looks like you ultimately closed down the problem, at least for a good long while. Great job, rbos. --[[User:ChallengeSpaceYard|CSY]] 23:36, 17 December 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
The new tactics may not be stopping accounts from being created, but I'm only occasionnally seeing a spam page now and then. --[[User:ChallengeSpaceYard|CSY]] 04:25, 27 December 2011 (UTC)<br />

Restricted anonymous edits. The vast majority are spam. -[[User:Rbos|Rbos]] 17:58, 26 February 2012 (UTC)</div>ChallengeSpaceYard
