Hey guys, can I...

Hey guys can I get enough permissions not to have to go through all the captcha to link externally, etc. I think you are fairly certain by now I am not going to spam the wiki to death right?
I mean I am probably not the smartest robocoder by any stretch of imagination, and I often end up with my foot in my mouth. But I generally mean well.
Done. And while I was at it, I added a few more as well, people who have proved they can make meaningful contributions and delete spam when they see it. If I've forgotten anybody just yell!
Sorry, I didn't realize life was so littered with captchas for the non-admins. =) Maybe we can lighten the settings a bit for registered users? Seems like we get a steady amount of wiki spam that we just have to delete/block. All that captcha suffering may be for naught.
Not sure of a good way to go about fixing the problem. We could always switch to using KittenAuth. Asirra is a slightly newer MS based variant of the same type of captcha.
Hi,
I realize that I am making a bold request considering I have only been a member for a little over a month, but I would greatly appreciate having my status upgraded to administrator.
In addition to the external link issue, it seems there has been a flood of spam recently and I would like to help.
Thanks.
Hey all. It's a bit late, but I've taken some measures to both lighten the settings for registered users, and also reduce the amount of spam.
- Adding external URLs to a page no longer triggers the captcha (registering an account still triggers the captcha)
- Adding an external URL to a page is outright disallowed until 24 hours after the account's first edit.
Hopefully that helps.
