Soft security seems to work for the other wikis, but since we're the biggest wiki, it doesn't seem to work for us. Is there something in the middle?
Well, although we obsess over difficulties on the mailing list, the reality is that soft security works remarkably well for us across a broad spectrum of possible and actual problems. Hard security (bans) works well for passing vandals, but has a decidedly mixed record on some others.
Despite all our (necessary and important) kvetching on the list, we should remember that at any given time, you can check recent changes and 99%+ of the edits are delightful WikiMagic.
Just now, I see User:Sned and User:Evercat working together on an article on [[BCC]]. User:Frecklefoot is continuing his excellent article on [[Sundog Frozen Legacy]]. These quiet folks never come to our attention on the list, but they are the heart and soul of what we're here for.
