We don't post a ton of news out of the ActiveWiki these days, but today I'd like to welcome Legion to our team. If you haven't taken a look at the recent changes page lately, you wouldn't know about this... but we've been dealing with a pretty horrible spambot problem for a few weeks now at least. It had gotten so bad that GSK has implemented a protocol for deleting and banning these new accounts/pages on sight, but they post with such frequency that it's a bit of a chore to cleanup if one of the administrators ignores the page for more then a day.
Since GSK and I are the only currently active community administrators, bringing another guy onto the team was desirable and Legion stepped up and volunteered before it had even come to asking for help. :)
From what I understand of the problem it's a pretty fix if someone who knew what they were doing had access to the wiki backend. Unfortunately neither of those conditions are currently met, so we have to deal with this on the frontside. :(
At any rate, feel free to welcome Legion to our team by leaving a comment on his talk page.
