Vandalism on LifeWiki

Post by Extrementhusiast » August 22nd, 2012, 1:04 pm

This will be the thread to report vandalism of the LifeWiki. Currently, the titles of "5-engine Cordership" and "10-engine cordership" have been moved to "5-engine Corderpimp" and "10-engine Corderpimp", and have had empty pages created to replace the old titles, preventing moving. The vandal is known by the username of "Patjohnson144". Said user has also done a similar thing to other pages, as well.

That seems to demonstrate a lack of intelligence or imagination on the vandal's part. 'Cordership' is a Hamming distance of 1 away from a different obscenity, obtained simply by altering the final letter.

I've reverted that user's vandalism. As a result of this, I've also implemented the following change to LifeWiki: the only people now capable of moving pages on LifeWiki are administrators (Sokwe and myself) and trusted users (there are a handful of you).

If you would like to be added to the "trusted" group so that you can move pages and not see captchas, either PM me or reply here. I'm not picky about who is in the group -- I pretty much just have to recognize your name.

On the "Gun" page, a user by the name of "Michaelrandolph" has added five malicious links to casinos. The links are the fourteenth word in the first sentence of the second paragraph of the first section, the twelfth word in the second sentence of the third paragraph of the first section, the eighteenth word in the first sentence of the second paragraph of the fifth section, the sixth word in the first sentence of the third paragraph of the fifth section, and the twenty-fifth word in the first sentence of the third paragraph of the fifth section.
