blast007the spammers registered accounts01:07
TimRikerit could be set to not allow registration so a bureaucrat would need to create a new account for someone.01:09
TimRikerI don't recall if it was tied to the forum. It would be handy to use forum accounts and perhaps have a group for wiki edit rights.01:09
