Hello Chris, it seems best to just lock FreeMind wiki for admins, so only admins are able to edit it. I have been fighting wiki spam by extending the list of banned keywords, but that is rather laborious, and the list is still far from comprehensive. Another trick would be to forbid non-admins to add links to external sites, but I have not found how to do it. There are very few contributions to the wiki other than from me and you. If people show interest in extending the wiki, they can be added admin rights. People can still post comments about the wiki in FreeMind forums. Thoughts? Best regards, Dan |

Hi Dan, this is ok for me. Alternatively, we drop all users and readd them on demand only.

Hi Chris, that sounds like a good idea. We do not really need to drop existing wiki users, though: it suffices when we prevent creation of new users, and add new users only on request. What do you think? Best regards, Dan On Wed, Apr 27, 2011 at 10:14 PM, Christian Foltin (GMX) <chr...@gm...> wrote: > Hi Dan, > > this is ok for me.
