Users editing (overwriting) English pages with a l10n-page

posts: 33

Hi, I've just banned for a week a user that was editing (overwriting) English pages to another language, and didn't answer e-mail or reply to comments on the pages.

Message sent to that user today when banning him; I edited the message here to include links markup...: it - approximately- said:

Hi xxxx, we've temporarily disallowed you to edit wiki pages for a week, since you are editing (overwriting) the English ones by mistake, and you haven't replied (yet) the e-mail message that I sent you yesterday, nor the comments I left you on some of your wrong-edited pages (Wiki, Using Wiki Pages, Wiki Syntax Lists), but you keep editing the wrong (English) pages as Greek and flagging them as Greek, instead of the Greek pages that I (or you) created: Wiki,el, Using Wiki Pages,el, etc...

Please, read your email and give us some feedback through Authors Coffeeshop forum ( http://doc.tikiwiki.org/forum1 ).

And thanks for translating Tikiwiki documentation to your own language!

What should we do in next cases? What's your opinion as tw documenter?

(yes, your opinion, regardless that you are already a member at the Editorial Board or not... - if you want to be, come and join us! The more we are, the better we'll keep the documentation up to date and error & mistakes free :-) )

Mmmm, it seems that banning system doesn't work if the user was already looged before banning that user?

Anyways, thanks to that, I've seen that user fivos has been fixing the mistakes he made previous days with English pages being overwritten....

I'll remove the banning right now. (so quick, good! ;-) I never liked banning users :-( )

Submitted a bug report about banning users... it seems to be buggy right now :-)
(in fact, almost nobody is using the banning system... luickily, no need for it I guess, if people learn from their mistakes so quick! Thanks Fivos! :-) )

link to bug report

Nevertheless, I hope the feature gets fixed for next times (just in case...; in edu.tw.o we had in the past users registering and adding porno pages to homepage attachments... thanks to banning by IP domain we could successfully stop that very fast...)

Good job xavi!

Some thoughts:

1- This is where wiki page history is so valuable.
2- Why I prefer that everyone registers to participate (so we can email them if there is a problem)

I think the banning was appropriate, and so was lifting it. If the user continued to overwrite pages, I was going to ban them today. However, it looks like they now understand how to translate the pages without overwriting them and all is well. Onward and Upward.
