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 ``` ## Petr Baudis, 2009-03-09 17:27 Subject: Re: Massive spam attack on the GitWiki Message-ID: <20090309172714.GX8940@machine.or.cz> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20090309172714.GX8940%40machine.or.cz In-Reply-To: ``` Hi, On Mon, Mar 09, 2009 at 06:07:40PM +0100, Johannes Schindelin wrote: > there seems to be a spam attack on the GitWiki.

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). :-) -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis The average, healthy, well-adjusted adult gets up at seven-thirty in the morning feeling just terrible. -- Jean Kerr ```
