<p><b>New page</b></p><div><br />
== Deletion of Pages ==<br />
<br />
Pages should only be deleted if they meet one of the following criteria:<br />
<br />
* They have been created specifically to post spam. In this case please block the user IP as well<br />
<br />
* The page is redundant because there is another one that carries the same information. A page re-direct may also be used in this case.<br />
<br />
* The information on the page to be deleted has been merged with another page.<br />
<br />
==Blocking of IP addresses ==<br />
<br />
Spammers have access to fairly large numbers of IP addresses. To combat this, please put /16 at the end of the IP to be blocked.<br />
<br />
eg. To block 204.125.57.93, type 204.125.57.93/16<br />
<br />
You will notice that the blocked IP record changes to 204.192.0.0 when you do this<br />
<br />
This method blocks a wider range of IP addresses and hopefully will slow spammers and vandals down.<br />
<br />
== Dealing with Vandals ==<br />
<br />
Deal with vandals in the same way as spammers - often they are the same people:<br />
* Block their IP address<br />
* use "rollback" to retreive any lost data<br />
* delete any rubbish pages that have been created</div>TimVK4YEH
