The site has been seemingly defaced yet again, by another account called RedArcher9, who joined around 9 hours ago as of the time of this post. The banner's image of the user has been provided in the post. This is the first thing I read when I was made aware of their urgent promotion of the "new edits to the site's history": "ProleWiki often serves as a 'gateway' for Communists to be indoctrinated into chauvinistic and revisionary ideology, with the site actively promoting 'Patriotic Socialist' and other social-chauvinist points of view and allowing users of those persuasions into the project."
I didn't read the rest of their horseshit because I have other things I would rather occupy my time with than the same trend of erasing and re-writing history which the US already does at scale.
I don't know the current policies for allowing people to become editors, but this game of cat and mouse with Wisconcom has become very tiresome. I propose a freeze on the creation or promotion of accounts to have edit permissions, and restrict such promotion to only those who have been around (for a good while) and earned the trust of the Lemmygrad netizens. This will make it a lot more expensive for them to pull this crap. In order to have an account that can edit the wiki, I also suggest that person open a People's Court case and have everyone (minus accounts that are obviously fake accounts or suspicious based on how new they are and what they've been up to) come to a consensus based on the user's credibility and history of contribution to Lemmygrad. If anyone has any thoughts to offer in good faith, I encourage you to leave feedback. I think it's time to put a stop to this bullshit.
lmao okay wisconcom. Thanks for outing your alt account you've been cultivating for 5 months.
Reasons this account was wisconcom:
- instantly knows who defaced prolewiki, like they went into the edit history which nobody ever does lol
- talks like wisconcom
- "The site has been seemingly defaced yet again" this is the only time wisconcom has been allowed in and defaced PW. He has tried getting accounts in the past, but they were all refused. Account requests are not public. Only he would know about this.
- Same with "but this game of cat and mouse with Wisconcom has become very tiresome", we don't talk about him ever.
- "I propose a freeze on the creation or promotion of accounts to have edit permissions, and restrict such promotion to only those who have been around (for a good while) and earned the trust of the Lemmygrad netizens." this is child-level wrecking stuff. a) ProleWiki is wholly independent from Lemmygrad (but wiscon seems to think we're connected in a love triangle with GZD too) and b) ProleWiki's policies are an internal matter.

I have no knowledge of mediawiki but I thought the system would be something like:
- have a small team of core trusted editors
- any user can propose edits
- edits have to be approved by one of the aforementioned editors
- once approved the edits reflect in the page
