User blog comment:LostInRiverview/Update regarding the wiki lockout/@comment-26744861-20120130212355

I said it on IRC and I'll say it again...

Despite what some may think, unregistered users are actually a very positive thing for. Not only do they make a lot of good faith edits but they also bring life to the wiki. The sad part is that when someone with nothing to do with their life spams the wiki, like yesterday's spammer, it ruins it for everyone and this blog post has highlighted it very well.

It's also worth knowing that we were all anonymous editors once before. I just hope that we don't witness a repeat of yesterday's events.
