ahmufcwafc Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Probably, we do need an advertisement somewhere though.4000 visits is impressive though. Yeah, but it'd be absolutely ridiculous to start advertising something to people who already know about the product. The place to advertise your sites is the fansites forum. I know you're going to say that it's a project & not a fansite, but if blogs count, I'm sure wiki projects will count as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would definitely help but I reckon we need an official advertisement, either a small reference at the top of GD or even in the links thread.

jod123 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Yeah that is good work ssestig. I was looking through that spammers history and it must be automated as they were literally making around 4 edits every hour of every day since last Thursday evening and I mean every hour. The other thing that makes me think it is automated is why are they just doing that to the 1 page? I just unprotected it a second ago and unblocked both ips and at that exact moment it happened again. So it is protected again and only 1 ip is blocked but the other one is doing nothing at the moment but I bet you if we unprotect the talk page it will happen again from that ip.

pnefc22 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I think that it is best having the whole thing protected as if someone wants to contribute then, they will be more than happy to create an account and it at least lets us have a name for the spammers and means that they have to sign-up to spam which will annoy them and take them longer. As well, as keeping out automated systems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it got really bad then that is certainly an option. Yeah, I guess your right, there have been some good edits by anonymous people. As long as we have the option open to do it, we will always be alright. But, if members continued to join and then, spam, what would we do? As if we banned them, they could just re-join. And, if we banned the ISP, then wouldn't we have to contact the ISP provider or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit trivial to close a forum on don't you think? Who complained? Sorry just trying to get my facts straight I am busy at the current moment making a different website so, I won't have much time for contributing this week but will do odd bits. BTW, I created a discussion page about the affiliates. It was concerning Johny's forum but seeing as that is gone, it isn't about that but I still think that us core members should discuss the affiliates.

arsenal_2111 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Just to bulk out the Wiki, could we have seperate pages for small things, such as stadiums?

JJay Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Definately an option available The idea behind allowing it is so that anybody can edit stuff in whether registered or not thus giving a larger user base to who edits.
