Slow Wiki? Its NOT a Bug!
Posted: Wed Feb 23, 2011 6:36 am
If you are one of our Wiki Editors and you have noticed a big slowdown while editing/creating a new page, do not worry, its not a bug... its a feature!
In order to fight the hordes of spambots from china, russia, israel, turkey (and several other proxy-countries) vandalizing our wiki everyday (no offence to our real users from those countries) several layers of spam filters have been added, this will slow down the loading times when editing/creating pages, since your username, ip address and email is being checked against HUGE spamlists.
Sorry for all the inconvenience caused you.
