ASCII art reward

Chronotab:

If you send a [[Project:Site support|donation]] to [[Bay 12 Games]], you can choose between two rewards: a Crayon Art Reward or an [[ASCII Art Reward]]. It is a small scene made of a few [[wikipedia:ASCII|ASCII]] characters, along with a unique story written by [[ThreeToe]] happening in the Dwarf Fortress world. Each scene has a chance to appear later in some form in one of [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/dev_story.html ThreeToe's Stories]. If the same donator gives more than one time, it is also possible that the bits of ASCII Art follow each other and form a story.

Each piece of ASCII Art Reward belongs to the donator who received it, but to appetize new potential donators, sharing them might be a good thing.

Um, I don't actually have an account here, but I've just noticed a few things:

- Clicking on some page links results in downloading a .rar file, named with the name of the page you were trying to go to. There's a blank file inside. Also, the main page is encountering database error. It's like the entire site is having a stroke, so I assume some kind of DDOS-like attack is being carried out.

:I would suggest looking into users [[User:AWurth93|AWurth93]] and [[User:EKruse55|EKruse55]]. Their names follow the same pattern as Binkley and Gragg - if they are spam accounts then like those, they are probably to lie dormant for a few days before they start their spam.

:Interestingly, that user (and 2 others) signed up over a week ago and sat dormant this entire time. The bastards are trying to get sneaky... --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 21:50, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
::I've seen vandalized main pages like that on the other wikis under attack. I'm not sure, but I think they start doing that only after they've "burrowed" into the site for an extended period of time. I believe the goal is to keep their spam links a part of the wiki for as long as possible. [[User:Uristocrat|Uristocrat]] 08:18, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
:::I suspect they were remaining dormant in order to get past the "new user" stage and gain the ability to edit semi-protected pages. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 17:21, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
::::I've modified new user stage so that you have to have made 10 edits before you can edit semiprotected articles or create new articles, in addition to the 3 day wait period. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 17:30, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
:::::I'm glad. Sounds like that should help. Although, I just tried to create my user profile ([[User:Thundercraft|Thundercraft]]) and it gave me a '''Permission error''', it said "You do not have permission to create new pages." (I do not have 10 edits yet.) Perhaps you should make user profiles exempt from this rule? Also, I would recommend mentioning to new members about these requirements. Otherwise, it could mean a lot of confused new members at a lot of complaints. You would not have to be specific, however. You could just say that "several edits" are required before that privilege is granted. --[[User:Thundercraft|Thundercraft]] 23:01:23, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
::::::I made your user profile page for you. An admin will have to do anything else. Also, I have confirmation now that the webspam team at Google is taking a look at this. They're interested because it's not just this wiki, there are thousands of others being vandalized by spammers and their real goal is to get their crap into the search engines. That probably won't stop the spambots from vandalizing things, but it will help keep them from profiting from this. [[User:Uristocrat|Uristocrat]] 08:39, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
::::::I'll look into permissions today and see if I can get user page creation working for newly registered users. Also, you're probably right about needing a notice of some sort for this change. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 16:56, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
