: FYI, it appears the spam edits, while frequent, were by a limited list of usernames (although the user list has many more suspicious names on it) on a limited set of pages. So this seems like a problem that won't be too hard to manage, and if it is, I can restore "sysop/bureaucrat-only". But it's up to you two, you all are here way more than I am...

Revision as of 00:02, 18 November 2008
Thank you! This is some great material you're adding... Jeb 20:31, 1 October 2007 (CDT)
- Thank you, I plan on expanding those articles that I briefly added on as I really feel that this place can become one of the greatest places for fictional material :) Darth Batrus 22:36, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia
Hi, guess I should have said something earlier, but it's preferable not to copy entries directly from Wikipedia (or any other site); see http://moa.dracandros.com/Multiversal_Omnipedia:Copyrights . Doing a great job overall, though, thanks! Jeb 00:40, 30 December 2007 (CST)
Sysop
I have added you as a sysop, as I know you're a proper (and excellent) contributor. Jeb 20:13, 17 November 2008 (CST)
- Actually, I went ahead and made you a bureaucrat too. This means you can give any other user sysop (or even bureaucrat) rights as well. Please be generous in giving out sysop rights on request, unless they seem fishy, and feel free to revoke the rights if they misbehave... Sorry I've been absent so long and let the spam problem get so huge. Jeb 20:23, 17 November 2008 (CST)
