[Pdx-pm] Fwd: Re: kwiki spam

[Eric Wilhelm]

Hi all,

I couldn't find a "delete" link on the newly created spam pages, so I 
just deleted the offending files from the "database/" directory.  I'm 
sure that is the wrong way to do it.  Are we missing a plugin?

The question for the group:  would anyone object to being required to 
login to edit?  (and how do we do this with kwiki 
(Kwiki::Edit::RequireUserName ?))

Also, thanks to Selena and everyone else for keeping an eye on our pet 
kwiki.

Thanks,
Eric

BTW -- some douche ran through and messed up a bunch of pages.  I fixed
the following:

Not sure what to do with these:

Is there a way to force people to login to make changes?  That's only a
temporary measure to prevent spam.. next you have to make sure that
people can't automate the login process.
