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

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. --CSY

Cool, thanks. Let me know if there's any policy decisions to discuss. --rbos

E-mail requirement

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

It may take a while before we get long-term effects. --CSY 23:12, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

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

So far, so good. Hopefully we'll see less spam. I just tested a link to Planets 4 in the Sandbox, with minor troubles. --CSY 09:15, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Also. Is it necessary to use the CAPTCHA on every edit? I normally see this tactic used when new external links are made. --CSY 09:20, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the signing tip. Also, I've set it to require captcha on create page, edits that add URL, createaccount, and badlogin. --Rbos 18:12, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

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'." --Rbos 18:14, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Definite improvement so far. -173.180.198.152 00:50, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Looks like you ultimately closed down the problem, at least for a good long while. Great job, rbos. --CSY 23:36, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
