<div>Thank you so much for helping with the wiki spam! --[[User:Jonathan|Jonathan]] 01:01, 16 November 2010 (UTC)<br />

I think this might be our issue: http://www.allspammedup.com/2011/01/google-recaptcha-cracked/ --[[User:Jonathan|Jonathan]] 15:36, 14 February 2011 (PST)<br />

== Sorry about the Spam ==<br />
I didn't realize that I started allowing unregistered user to bypass the captcha. It should be fixed now. Thanks for helping to clean up to wiki.<br />
<br />
== upload options ==<br />
<br />
hey dustin, tito here from sopo. im writing because i wanted to see if was possible to edit the upload options for files. we have alot of great material in .doc and .odt format but i cant upload them. is there a way to change this?<br />
<br />
== Bike!Bike! SE ==<br />
<br />
There's a Bike!Bike! Southeast every year, and I just added the one for 2012 in the current events page. I was hoping it could get on the main page as well? I don't see a way to edit that myself, so it might be up to the mighty admins. Thanks!<br />
<br />
== Thanks ==<br />
<br />
Happy to see there's a few others helping fight the spam here on the wiki. Your help is MOST appreciated! --[[User:Sharalds|Sharalds]] 11:55, 2 July 2012 (PDT)<br />

No problem. It would be great if we could subscribe to an external IP blacklist, or possibly set up a bot to automatically delete stuff? This seems pretty ridiculous to me. - [[User:Quill|Quill]] 13:11, 17 July 2012 (PDT)<br />
<br />
I just noticed when I block a "user" for infinite amount of time and block their IP from creating new accounts, the IP is only blocked for 24 hours (see [[Special:BlockList]]) - is there any way to extend that? - [[User:Quill|Quill]] 08:22, 3 August 2012 (PDT)<br />
<br />
::From the recent changes, it looks like you are still experiencing a significant spam problem. Are any of the admins still active/ actively working on this? It might help to require email verification before any edits, or failing that, require admin approval for new accounts.
