Hi,

there seems to be a spam attack on the GitWiki. Pasky, could you change the settings so that attachments are disallowed? It is really distressing. Especially since pages I delete crop up again because of those spammers attaching new attachments.

Also, is it possible to remove/block users?

Ciao, Dscho

  I have tried to disable adding new attachments now.

  Probably, but I don't know how. But I have given you full admin
rights now, if you know how to use them (I don't). :-)
