How long do we have to wait before we don't count as new users anymore? I tried to update the CoreXY page with some more current information about Vorons, but it won't let me add any links.

You can find that information here: [reprap.org]

The last rule in the list states no links are allowed if a user is less than an hour old or has less than 5 edits. It's an easy obstacle to overcome, but massively decreases the amount of SPAM on the wiki because the bots just want to blast as many links as they can as quickly as they can.]]> b4ndit General Mon, 15 Aug 2022 16:47:44 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,641102,889717#msg-889717 Re: Help getting new Wiki accounts https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,641102,889717#msg-889717 clee General Mon, 20 Jun 2022 01:00:10 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,641102,888626#msg-888626 Re: Help getting new Wiki accounts https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,641102,888626#msg-888626 I'm getting started on updating the FoldaRap build manual to 4.0. I've copied over the current build manual to a separate "FoldaRap 4.0 Build Manual" page (as not to not to spam the main build manual with WIP stuff), and hit the "Prevent new accounts from adding links to pages" spam rule.

The wiki uses custom Captcha and the AbuseFilter rules to prevent SPAM bots from destroying the wiki.

Edit: I'm also following this topic, so if anybody has any questions regarding the rules in place, post your question here and I'll try to respond.]]> b4ndit General Mon, 29 Nov 2021 10:10:25 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,641102,887208#msg-887208 Re: Help getting new Wiki accounts https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,641102,887208#msg-887208

@Lizardjazz1 you are tripping the rule "Prevent new account from adding links to pages"

Since your new a the page is full of links.
Ok, I get it, I added a page without using links, later I can add links the same as in the original article? :)]]> Lizardjazz1 General Thu, 25 Nov 2021 01:20:55 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,641102,887184#msg-887184 Re: Help getting new Wiki accounts https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,641102,887184#msg-887184

I was planning on doing a purge of these accounts, but by today's count, there are only around 2000 of them.

The reason I opened up registration was because I viewed it as a confusing hurdle new users had to jump through. When I joined the site, I wanted to update the wiki, but didn't because I couldn't figure out how to create an account. Once I found the forum topic on how to get an account, I figured it was too much hassle since I just needed to make a few small corrections. That's what has influenced my stance on the topic.

I'm following this topic, so if you have any ideas or suggestions, let me know.]]> b4ndit General Wed, 05 Feb 2020 11:36:22 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,641102,848604#msg-848604 Re: Help getting new Wiki accounts https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,641102,848604#msg-848604

Wiki registration is currently open. New users will have to fill out a reCaptcha to register, create new pages, and edit pages. Once your account is three days old and you have 5+ edits, you should no longer see the reCaptcha every time you try to edit the wiki. If this is not the case for some reason, please let me know.

It seems to me that, despite the reCaptcha, the Wiki user registration is being inundated with bogus user registrations.
It seems like new users are being created every day, that clearly are advertising names, and not reasonable user names.

Any admins who can/will look into this?]]> MrAlvin General Tue, 05 Mar 2019 17:24:58 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,641102,823562#msg-823562 Re: Help getting new Wiki accounts https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,641102,823562#msg-823562 b4ndit General Sat, 26 May 2018 20:32:32 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,641102,816158#msg-816158 Re: Help getting new Wiki accounts https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,641102,816158#msg-816158

In particular the way to get an account isn't to send a PM - think about it you can't send a PM unless you are already registered DOH...

You actually get a 'create profile' link if you try to send a PM by looking at someone's profile...

Not a way to grow a forum.]]> Stub Mandrel General Sun, 24 Sep 2017 04:25:45 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,641102,785340#msg-785340 Re: Help getting new Wiki accounts https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,641102,785340#msg-785340

I see reason for limit new account creation. OK. But pls, put 'Create account' button with link not to create account form but to explanation page.
I did 15 minutes of futile search on all possible wiki pages - it's Log in button here, it must be Create account button somewhere too, IMHO.

Agreed.
