Spam on the wiki, This is a milestone guys, guess it means it's 'official' now . You have to find guys like this kind of funny, "you pressed an edit button, wow, you're cool." Thanks guys for reverting it.

(can't see any weirdness) Of course you can't: it has already been deleted. You would have to look in the history: http://www.slinging.org/wiki/index.php?title=Talk&oldid=2136 Some people call editing an open wiki "hacking"...

Maybe we should disable editing for anonymous users for a few weeks until the link spammers lose interest.

And member can type in his or her username and password no matter what computer they are on - so for something like the wiki - I see no need for anonymous editing anyway.

It accumulates knowledge which would never have found into books because it is so easy and cheap to add information. But the anonymous editing of the slinging wiki is at the moment a plague. Who can administrate it? Zwiebeltuete

wikipedia in general is quite good fun.
Kinda like ebay - don't take everything at face value all the time :-)

But we're talking about the slinging wiki specifically here. And there really isn't anything that can be added to it or edited on it where there is any necessity for anonymous input. Anyone with relevant knowlege will probably be a forum member anyway - or if not probably join. The only reason for wanting to remain anonymous is
1) If you are posting erroneous info and don't want to be questioned ('cos if we know who you are someone will question you ;-)
2) you're adding inappropriate content.
