Re: [pygame] wiki spam



I've reenabled anonymous comments for the doc comments.

Also, I went into the database and deleted a million pages from the wiki data that contained various nasty keywords.  There is a slight chance I may have deleted some legitimate content -- if anyone notices that their real content is gone, please tell me.  I make daily backups of the database so I can bring back anything that might have been deleted by accident.

If a page appears to be missing, click on the page history, and revert to another version.

I'll make a note of what you said below, and probably do that along with my bag of goodies to come with then 1.8 release.

Hi Phil,

with doc comments it would be good to allow anon. Since most of the
comments are anon, I think by requiring login, we won't get as many.

I've been keeping an eye on them every week or so, and it's fairly
easy for me to delete spam for the doc comments. Since all the new
ones are listed by date.

Do you think you could add something in there to alert us when somethings added?

eg.

$admin_emails = "renesd@xxxxxxxxx,philhassey@xxxxxxxxx, ... etc.";
$message = "The comment is below.\r\n\r\n\r\n. Ok.\r\n";
$message .= $THECOMMENT;
$subject = "pygame.org doc comment added.";
@mail($admin_emails, $subject , $message);



Cheers,
