    It is with a sense of sadness I inform you that I've decided to lock down editing permissions for the wiki to members only.

    I had hoped not to resort to this, but thanks to one pissant who has steadfastly insisted on repeatedly spamming the wiki and has circumnavigated each measure I've introduced to date, this sorry day has come.

    I don't have the time nor the energy to fight this asshole. Between the combined security of the forum software and the wiki software, hopefully this will make this little bastard's job a little more tedious than it will be mine to clean up his/her sorry mess.

    Dave, forward his details to Riaan and let him return the favour of spamming the living snot out of him through his blog.

    Nah. That one wasn't an email spammer - it was links to stuff in the distinctly adult audience realm. Those folk thrive on spam visitors.

    That blog's scary. I'm nervous even putting the addy into my URL bar.
