 == Anti-Spam Whitelist Requests ==
 Please edit this page and add your wiki username (and MUD character name, if different from your wiki username) to the following list. I watch all edits to the entire wiki via RSS, so I should notice changes to this page within a few hours (depending on whether I'm asleep or whatever). If I'm then satisfied that your account is legitimate, I'll immediately add you to the "validated" group. I apologise for the hassle involved, but our anti-spam measures have proved largely effective, so until we get a MUD-linked system, this will have to suffice.

		+	The [[Learnt at level table]] pages are uneditable! Whenever I try, I get this message:
		+
		+	<pre>The text you wanted to save was blocked by the spam filter. This is probably caused by a link to a blacklisted external site.
		+
		+	The following text is what triggered our spam filter: http://akismet.com blacklist error </pre>
		+
		+	The templates for the rows were similarly uneditable until I changed the comments. I think the problem is that it interprets fa.ri.de.se and so on as links--even, apparently, when the text is in a ''template''--and thinks there are too many links on the page.
		+
		+	It doesn't seem to be any ''specific'' bit of text, since by testing I've found I can change either fa.ri.de.se ''or'' fa.ri.de (for example) and it's fine with that. It seems like the variety is really the problem.
		+
		+	Is there a whitelist or something we could add those specific things to?
		+
		+	I also get a 403 error if I try to go to one of those templates' pages. I can edit the pages just fine, though, so I'm not sure what that's about.

	::::::::Good points, the issue I have with using the http interface is that it either leaves a mud password in the code, or needs an extra lookup to a secure file to read the mud password to use. I'm not sure which method uses less data, but I think that what what the telnet method gains in the menus it loses in the html and headers. I have other code that does the same thing using curl and dom manipulation of the received file, which is probably a better technical solution but again involves extra (curl, dom) overhead. I'll have a think about implementing a a way of throttling requests. Perhaps 3 strikes and then reject the ip.
