fixing broken sig (and other minor fixes)
You may not know this, but by registering an account here and then putting its password on bugmenot.com, you make it available for spammers to have access to the site. We disabled anonymous editing for precisely this reason. &mdash;[[User:ASDamick|<font color="blue"><b><i>Dcn.

So, no anonymous posting, eh? Totally the goal of my user account. Difference of philosophy, but I understand. Feel free to disable my username then. I guess I will have to 'actually' sign up.
: You may can still be anonymous&mdash;you don't have to register your real name or even an email address. We'd just prefer that accounts not know thisget shared with the entire Internet. : We used to allow non-registered editing, but we got hit by registering an account multiple spambots which messed up massive portions of the site. Wikipedia has hundreds of thousands of editors to fix such things almost instantly, but here and then putting its , the active editing is done by probably no more than half a dozen folks. &mdash;[[User:ASDamick|<font color="blue"><b><i>Dcn.

My username is definetely listed at Bugmenot. As a sysop, can you delete my username? What do you suggest. I could just change my password on bugmenot, but honestly I created the username really as a 'dummy name' so I could test out the wiki. By the way, do you use [http://blog.kevinbasil.com/2003/02/03/holy-irc-batman/ IRC]? : I don't think I can delete accounts, but I can ban them. (I think only [[User:FrJohn|FrJohn]] can delete.) I think the best thing would be to create a new account, and if you make like, I'll ban this one so that it available for spammers can no longer edit. : As to have access IRC, I used to be on it&mdash;long, long ago, back when Bill Clinton had only been president for a little while. :) &mdash;[[User:ASDamick|<font color="blue"><b><i>Dcn.

I am not sure what happens when you delete a user, I wonder if the sitecontent they created get's deleted? Look for my new user name to be Joe Rodgers : No, content would be unaffected. As you requested, I'm banning [[User:BugMeNot]]. We disabled anonymous editing for precisely this &mdash;[[User:ASDamick|<font color="blue"><b><i>Dcn.

What I did was change BugMeNot's password, though, to something fairly random. &mdash;[[User:ASDamick|{{User<font color="blue"><b><i>Dcn.
