endestion regarding hyperspacejumps, i get confused because i play both vgap4 and vgap3
* [[User talk:ChallengeSpaceYard/February 2012|February 2012]]
when hyperjumping in vgap3 do you end up at the end of the max range of hyperjump distance regardless how far u set the waypoint indicator? for example: the falcon hyperjump ring indicates a circle of 350 lyrs. but i only want to hit a planet at 302 lyrs. will i end up at the planet? or 38 lyrs beyond? additionally does warp movement occur after the hyper jump or before? or notall during hyperjumps? thanks for your answers in advance. will write the wiki page on this once i know the facts. --Protomatter 19:47, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

You'll notice some weirdness - I'm moving stuff onto a new server, and mediawiki is getting dragged along with a minor upgrade. Hopefully doesn't break tooooo much but do let me know, rbos@novylen.net. [[User:Rbos|Rbos]] ([[User talk:Rbos|talk]]) 10:52, 25 May 2013 (PDT)
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. --[[User:ChallengeSpaceYard|CSY]]
:I see that the ship list tables are currently broken. I'll have to study the tables and see if I can convert them to the "wiki table" format, which is all well and good. --[[User:ChallengeSpaceYard|CSY]] ([[User talk:ChallengeSpaceYard|talk]]) 12:21, 25 May 2013 (PDT)


Cool, thanks. Let me know if there's any policy decisions to discuss. --rbos
::I re-added the inline substitution stuff, and for some reason the tables had a blue background. Explicitly set it to white. Bit of a hack. [[User:Rbos|Rbos]] ([[User talk:Rbos|talk]]) 14:36, 25 May 2013 (PDT)


== E-mail requirement ==
:Some ship pages had broken images; I went through, loaded all the ship pages, and saved them. That fixed it.
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. --[[User:ChallengeSpaceYard|CSY]] 23:12, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
:Fixed the Math extension.


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. --[[User:ChallengeSpaceYard|CSY]] 09:15, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
Installed a plugin to mass-nuke spam by username/IP.


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)

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)

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)

Definite improvement so far. -[[Special:Contributions/173.180.198.152|173.180.198.152]] 00:50, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
Last week, you posted a message on my user page asking a question. Although I should not directly allow you to edit the main page, I have added a link to the page, allowing work to be started on the new article.


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)
Next time you wish to talk to me, I recommend you use my talk page instead of my user page. --CSY (talk) 17:18, 5 September 2014 (PDT)*


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)

Hi can you add a few section for the main page check the talk page. [[User:LordLancelot|LordLancelot]] ([[User talk:LordLancelot|talk]]) 06:46, 8 November 2014 (PST)


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