[OS X TeX] TeX on Mac Wiki

[Joseph C. Slater PE, PhD]

The TeX on Mac Wiki received it's first SPAM attack last night from an  
outfit called RuneScape which I cleaned up this morning (attack was at  
around 4:30 GMT on Nov 1, clean up 8 hours later... the only time of  
the day it would have gone 8 hours). This unfortunately proved the  
point that continual supervision is necessary although I hoped  
spammers would be lazy enough to take the weekend off! There have been  
thousands of changes I've viewed since August... I watch everything,  
eventually. Because of this, it is feasible that I could miss some in  
the future. If you see or suspect vandalism, please email me AND cfrees at imapmail.org 
  directly ASAP and we can begin blocking the offender from the site.  
Hopefully they won't have the energy to keep adding accounts  
indefinitely (deleting an account takes minimal time compared to  
adding one and re-adding the spam pages). I think the best way to  
handle this it to stop it quickly. Hopefully we won't have to block  
addition of new accounts to the system. That places an undue hurdle to  
new users.

Anyone who is interested can set their account to watch all page  
changes on the site (I believe in preferences). The more eyes, the  
better the maintenance.

Thanks,
Joe
