	Log in to remove this sponsored message Hi everyone, Due to a serious bug resulting from our upgrade today to MediaWiki 1.19.1, we have been struck by a huge surge of spam. The problem appears to be that all guests are treated as authenticated, logged in members, and thus are not subject to CAPTCHA or other anti spam measures. The result is... pandemonium. To combat this, we have temporarily shut down guest and member editing. We've managed to restore editing by moderators and supers/admin, but we have not been able to identify or figure out why guests are being treated as logged in users. I'm anticipating we'll get this sorted out tomorrow, and we'll keep you updated here. I'm truly sorry for the inconvenience, I know it is frustrating and believe me, I want this fixed as soon as possible. ------------------- The further back you can look, the farther ahead you can see. <paraphrased> - Winston Churchill
