    Default Website issue: Wiki

    The wiki:

    http://wiki.everythingtreo.com/

    claims:

    No registration. No login. Just click EasyEdit.
    Is this true? When I'm not signed in, I don't see any "easy edit" button. I don't see any way to edit wiki pages unless I log in.

    If this is the case, someone may want to correct that sentence: it appears that you *do* need to register to edit/add pages.

    Sorry, I'll make the change. We had it set up that way, but had an issue with a disgruntled (banned) member who thought it would be fun to remove all the content in the wiki.:foot:

    Just goes to show that no good deed goes unpunished.

    It sucks that a public wiki had to be locked. Was an IP ban not possible?

    If I may! The way I understand it, The IP ban went into effect and then the banned member logged on from another location a couple of days later and started deleting the Wiki! He was so bold as to log on and leave comments taking credit for it . . . . . Luckily, Chris had recently backed up the Wiki!

    Thus the change in having an unlocked Wiki . .

    Man. What the heck is wrong with people?

    I'm surprised there's not a plugin that can detect that sort of thing. Even something simpleminded like the last two edited files being truncated to some fraction of their original length or deleted outright (and then locks the user).

    Sorry to hear about that.
