The Wiki is Fuxxored

The Wiki is Fuxxored

The wiki is being overwritten by bots with links to porn and goodness-knows-what. It needs to be secured and all changes submitted by obvious spam bots removed.

Or, it should be abandoned entirely and replaced with something better :-/
 
Hi Tonio,
could you tell me the user who posted that spam? I've checked all users in the wiki and all are registerd Cheetah3D users.:confused:

I'm sorry that I couldn't spend more time on the Wiki. But all this is growing over my head a little bit. Especially with 5.0 coming soon.

So I welcome Roberts idea of a community driven Wiki.

I'm sure it would be more successful than the half hearted administered Wiki on my site.

Bye,
Martin
 
I went and restored the main index page and a couple of others before it became obvious how bad the damage was. I saw a bunch of edits from random IP addresses and highly suspect user ids. Go to various pages and click history ... you'll see multiple spam bots racing each other to deface the page.

e.g. I don't think:
"lGcdpKPdOurPY" and "AIgkEUuteOOaUP" are C3D users.

What I'd like to see is a community-driven Wiki, but I'd also like to have a way to interact with C3D's online help -- i.e. suck the data out of it into the Wiki, then be able to edit it, and then be able to rebuild the online help from the edited version. I'm not up-to-date of Apple's help tools (in the past they have sucked beyond imagining) -- if it's not complicated I could build a simple tool for doing the conversions and put together a markdown-based Wiki to revise and build new content.

Personally I'd rather you didn't have to spend a single minute on docs beyond putting in the barest stub information for your early testers, who could then flesh it out.
