Only capristo (maybe Erno?) can delete accounts.

Renamed it so we can use it in future if needed.

In the meantime, is there an ignore button? I\'d rather not have two pages of random crap inbetween threads.

Never mind, thanks anyway

A spambot managed to work on here? I\'m impressed.

Probably not a bot, an actual person who was spamming

Also, Erno should be able to delete users

Maybe. Although WoWgold is a well known spambot that plagues many a RPG forum.

I just cleared out all the spam on the Wiki. Thanks for the help 4zb4. Holy hell that was a lot, I shudder to think of how this forum would be without that captcha. Fortunately I was able to just delete everything through the database - if I had had to individually click and delete on every article, it would have taken months

SWEET! There is already a reCaptcha for mediawiki plugin. I wish I\'d known, I would\'ve installed it earlier. Well, now you must use the same captcha on the forum to register for the Wiki. Goodbye spambots!

Aww!! Now I will have nobody to take the piss out of on the wiki without being yelled at. Or Somagu\'ed.

\"Somagu\'ed\"? What, is that a euphemism of some sort?

Is this the kind of reputation I have? What kind of shit did I do to deserve THIS?

No Somagu, I simply meant that you tend to complain about anything to do with me and spam.
