So I've finally had to remove the wantlist section from the public domain due to abuse. People post they are willing to pay $30 for a single minicon, or $150 for a sealed Energon Arcee. Then I get emails from people in Australia wanting to sell me said minicon...shipping alone is gonna cost more than the minicon is worth.
In addition, we're constantly having issues with people randomly entering bogus size data for the database section.
Other wiki sites have a lot of success avoiding such obnoxious entries, does anyone know how, or have any suggestions? The only other solution I can think of is to hire mods for each of these sections!
Sorry to vent, but urgh!!! it's so irritating!
Bogus wantlist items, etc.

OK, that's a good suggestion...something I (or a volunteer) could check once every couple of days. This would require a APPROVED=TRUE,FALSE field to each entry so new entries can be easily plucked from the database table, and displayed to would-be approvers...Sideways wrote:Perhaps have the entry(ies) be approved before being posted?
Other suggestions welcome!
