Forum:Our vandalism problem

ONLY FOR ADMINISTRATORS:

Listen guys, as you can see, we have been invaded by vandalism lately, and we have to discuss this to stop it. Teridax told me the case and I tried to contact Wikia, here is my message:

''"Hello Wikia Suppost Staff, as you can see the Wikia where I participate (http://ultra.wikia.com/wiki/Ultraman_Wiki) has been lately heavily vandalised by unregistered users. We are all rookies in the Wikia, and we lack experience with Wikias, and of course we have been learning a lot lately, but our Wikia is yet small and somewhat unexperienced. Randoms users with different unregistered IPs have been making vandalism in the Wikia, making horrible pages with just one sentence that makes no sense, and we all administrators and members in the Wikia are aware of that, and we try to fight the vandalism. Of course we have been lately having too much vandalism, and what we want and need to do is to make people contribute in the Wiki only if the have an account and are members. That way we heavily can control the vandalism in the new Wikia, as a big percent of the vandalism is made from unregistered users. We are all unexperienced, but we really want to learn, experience and enjoy Wikia.''

Thanks for reading."

Hello,

Thanks for contacting Wikia and I am sorry to hear you are having trouble with vandalism on your wiki.

While there are some benefits to requiring users to log in before editing, there are also drawbacks. Frequently casual visitors make an edit or two on their IPs to "test it out" before deciding to create an account; so you may lose some potential contributors. We strongly recommend leaving the wiki open to edit by all.

However if the wiki community and admins are all in agreement, we can disable editing by IPs. Please hold a community discussion about this, and give everyone a chance to voice an opinion. At the least we would need to see positive agreement by all active admins and preferably also by any other active contributors. If everyone agrees to disable anonymous editing, please respond to this email with a link to the discussion and we will do that for you.

best, Wendy

I suggest we should ALL discuss this and reach an agreement. I made this forum specially to discuss this.
