I joined the Back Room on this account, but not on any of my others?

Self... you are a silly silly man.

Aaaaanyway. Hi beautiful people! This is Tom, mun of Amascut([personal profile] death_gone_mad) and one of the admins over at milliwiki.com. Some (meaning plenty) of you already know about my war with the spammers on our precious wiki. Some might even know that I had temporarily given up on it in favor of working on a better solution to the problem.

If you didn't know, you know now!

I have been working on it because of some unexpected free time this afternoon, and I have gotten it to a stage where I need to ask for your help.

So, this thing I am working on, it is pretty stupid (well, stupid compared to the miraculous ClueBot) and works off a whitelist. If it sees an edit to the wiki not made by an author on the whitelist, it will go OMG KILL DIE DELETE REVERT REDIRECT DIE DIE DIE. At least that is the stage it is at anyway. It is harmless and doesn't do any editing yet.

What I need from you is usernames to add to that list. If you have ever edited an article on the wiki, even if you forgot your password, leave your username on the wiki in a comment below. I know some legit pages were created and edited while anonymous editing was still allowed, so I will have to look for those pages. If you know which pages those are, please let me know.

Thanks!

Aw, what the-? *goes to fix Dani's wiki page*

I don't know who User:Dontthinkso is, but s/he definitely seems to be a vandal with something against Dani Phantom/Enzo Matrix shipping. Can something be done about him/her/it?

I could ban them, but then again it is an account that only made one edit. They might have forgotten the password by now anyway. If they come back and revert your edit I'll ban for edit warring, but I think that banning them now would be silly. (and it might invite abuse if Dontthinkso is a certain kind of person)

Okay. I'll cross my fingers and hope that they don't come back and revert my edit.
