Guys, mind if I disable wiki registrations for a month or so? The read-changes-feed, block-spammers, rollback-link-spam cycle is getting annoying. I think they'll go away if new registrations are temporarily unavailable.

[techumseh]

Fine with me, I guess. I'm glad you're still watching over it.

[Boco]

Thanks, St Leo!

[curtsibling]

Good idea, St. Leo - Let's stick it to the cyber crooks!

[Case]

Speaking from personal experiance, dealing with spambots is the worst thing about being any kind of internet administrator. Even nutty and racist 16 year olds are preferable as you can at least ban them.

[techumseh]

I just deleted a whole bunch of ringtone spam from the contest page Kobi set up.

[kobayashi]

Just what do they get out of putting all those rediculous links? That's what I'm trying to understand.

Can we set it up such that the administrator has to give permission for each new registered user?

[Boco]

I'd agree with that restriction! Although it does make me greatly fear megalomaniacal transformations in Arthedain and CurtSibling!

[curtsibling]

I second the motion to restrict all potential new members to human scrutiny.

[kobayashi]

WE GOT A BIgGER PROBLEM, the site is down

[fairline]

Could that be related to the server problems 'Poly has been suffering recently?

[Broken_Erika]

Hmmm, the S.League Wiki seems to be riddled with bugs at the moment, is someone doing a major overhaul?
or did something worse happen,
i have come across a lot of these

Error creating thumbnail: /home/sleague/public_html/bin/ulimit4.sh: line 4: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory

[McMonkey]

And lots of it seems to be missing (downloads, resources etc...). I wish I had made a backup of all my files!

[curtsibling]

The News is not working either...

[Gramphos]

We got backups of everything as it was on the 8th of July. However, that version of the media wiki was not compatible with the newer backend software on our server since the downtime. And I had to upgrade it to 1.10. The three step upgrade process happened went through without errors or warnings. It may be that the skin in use has to be updated to play well with 1.10.


The errors about convert not existing shall be resolved now.
