<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Anonymous edits disabled ==<br /> <br /> I've gone ahead and disabled anonymous edits due to the high volume of wiki spamming. I'll be implementing some kind of anti-spam measures (most likely a CAPTCHA) before turning anonymous edits back on. I hate to do this, but it's starting to get out of control. -- [[User:Dossy|Dossy]] 08:11, 24 March 2006 (EST)<br /> <br /> Since I know the spammers can create accounts (I just deleted ~600 of them), I've changed things so that only users who have a confirmed email address can make edits.
