:I see that we're still getting vandalized. Really, is barring anon edits a bad thing? I know there's the ''possibility'' of bots registering and then editing, but we can easily stop that with capchas (hopefully not the really hard kind, even I can't do those, and I'm more or less a human being!).

Fear and clowns. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 16:07, 28 March 2008 (CET) | :I see that we're still getting vandalized. Really, is barring anon edits a bad thing?

::::But the second is still unclear. "He" deleted a section and left one address at first (look up history, get address and insert it on http://logbud.com/domain_whois, surprise: that side is hosted in the USA). Then he came back to delete the same section. Just strange. In both cases he left an additional ''signature'': "dH0cf7" and "HfpZ3o sd89f984q34slf".
