Line 84:
Would it perhaps be an idea to disable account creation, and in stead invite new contributors to drop us a line, and tell us a bit about their interests / background in programming (without demanding sensitive information like real name and such)?

: nofollow has been added. If someone with MediaWiki coding chops could write up an extension to tie MW's blocking logic with Cloudflare's API, that would be most excellent. I could do it...if I had the time. I very much don't right now. The key thing needed is described in section 4.7 of CF's [https://www.cloudflare.com/docs/client-api.html API docs]. IPs should be able to be blocked when IP blocks are added to the site, and should be removed from CF when removed/expired from the site. (There's also some excellent possibilities for proper cache purging logic, but that's another issue...) --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] ([[User talk:Short Circuit|talk]]) 03:14, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
:When I get the RSS updates, I see the deleted material, and on a whim I followed an older one. Even with "nofollow" the material is still there. If what this "person" is trying to do is notice to some site, even the "nofollow" might not be enough to dissuade "it" and the mechanism of the usual deletion but still retaining the archived edit is possibly aiding "it". Is there a method to do a more destructive kill of the entered text without destroying the historical record completely? [[User:Stormneedle|Stormneedle]] ([[User talk:Stormneedle|talk]])
