Wiki vandalism outbreak
« on: June 03, 2007, 03:48:33 PM »
I am afraid we have had a bout of vandalism in the Wikis.

If the information you expected has vanished then by logging in and looking at the history you should be able to revert to a version that it OK.

Appropriate steps, including some IP address backtracking, may lead to the perpatrator(s) who should expect an unpleasant experience.

Sheer chance actually. I was looking up a VB call and they were all gone.

You do have to login to edit but it is, intentionally, easy to become a user and difficult to go and put a brick through the window of someone who has been malicious - that is life however.

Recent research shows that in UK the average haul by a shoplifter is £180 and the average fine of those who are caught is £80. Make paying at the till a rather foolish way of behaving.

Mad world or what?....
