[TheList] Wiki Spam?

Sun Oct 28 09:11:41 AEDT 2012

Hi All,

The Wiki has ingested 35GB+ of spam this month which has left it pretty sluggish to say the least!

I can either set up a new MediaWiki instance, tighten up its security then we can all move over any relevant material or we can pull the pin and just leave the mailing list.

If there is a few people willing to move the valid content across then I don't mind keeping her going.

Cheers,

Chris.

I can help with either or both - already admin several mailman mailing lists.

Synergies with ScanningTasmania should be  investigated too.

I have spoken to Chris and he is happy to continue providing the
service but doesn't have time to babysit the wiki or the mailing list.

If anyone or preferably multiple people want to take on the mailing list and/or wiki admin rights let me know.

The mailing list admin deletes the odd spammer, rejects
spam posts that get caught due to the sender not being subscribed etc.
The wiki admin can reverse changes that people make either maliciously
or genuinely, take a bit of ownership of maintaining the categories
and possibly driving interest etc.

If no one wants to take on the admin rights they will continue to run
but things could/will get messy.

I think a few of you are wiki admins already, Tahii springs to mind?

Cheers
