Wiki Registrations, apply here - SMcNeill - 05-29-2022
As much as it pains us to do so, guys, but since spam bots are all around happily trying to post tons of worthless crap on the Wiki endlessly, we had to close free registrations to the Wiki.
The only way to get an account and become a Wiki editor is to apply for it here. Accounts are now only created by RhoSigma or SMcNeill upon request.
We're not trying to keep anyone from helping with the Wiki, who legitimately wants to help with the Wiki, but we have to stop the bots from having such easy access to the site.
Apologies for any inconvenience, but I think everyone will understand why we've limited the account creation like we have.

In an several hours long cleaning session, I got finally rid of all the posts from those spam attacks.
The result are 103 removed spam users and 81 deleted spam pages. Fortunately none of our keyword pages were destroyed, as the bots just created new pages and not editing (messing) with existing pages.
So I hope you understand our decision.
