Creation protection

Hello rbos. A couple pages was used for spam several times, so I've protected those pages from further use. --ChallengeSpaceYard 19:32, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Something drastic may be required. :(

There has been like 5-6 spam pages per day, sometimes more. What CAPTCHA do you use for external links (if any)? Any related extensions installed? --ChallengeSpaceYard 02:24, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Lack of CAPTCHA resources

Lack of resources is preventing new registrations from occuring. I received a message from a fellow planets player that he wants to register and edit, but can't. --CSY 06:22, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

It turns out I can still make accounts. Still, it is up to you to fix the source of the problem. --CSY 06:33, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

In the server move a couple of months ago, I apparently did not generate a captcha word set. Generating now. And the folder is added to my backup list. Rbos 15:18, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Seems fixed. Was able to register a new account. Sorry. >_< Rbos 15:19, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Confirmed. Testtest 16:32, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Many thanks, rbos. Now new accounts can be made in the future. --CSY 16:47, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Oh dear... Looks like the spammers have been waiting for this opportunity, and they have returned to vandalize the wiki. I've already deleted four pages and blocked the users that made those pages.

A proposal I have (if this is even possible) is to block new users from making new pages until they've established themselves with a few edits on existing pages, and are a few days old. --CSY 21:35, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
