The answer to your first question is likely bots. Based on the user names that certainly seems to be the most likely reason.


And their must not be a way to stop it huh? Probably not even a need to since they seem harmless

I assume the wiki is some sort of "out of the box" product and not something that Bort and Co have direct control over. They could switch software, I guess, or perhaps pay a premium for a higher level of control over registration. As Romo pointed out they could also block IP addresses or email domains that these originate from if their software allows it.

Unfortunately the official wiki is still kinda screwed up at the moment, I can't change my email (I no longer have access to the email listed), and it won't send out a verification email (which you need to get to edit), even when I try to create a new account. So I haven't been able to update my team's page for a while.

The sad part is how dated most of the material is... I'm back from a long hiatus and I can't find information that is relevant to the current state of the game. Everything is DO THIS or DO THAT from users, I just want to read some information about the game and sim like it used to be.

Have an example? Cause I know for a fact the admins update the site and if sonething is out of date and they are notified, they update it pretty quick

anything you find out of date let support know.

I have sent in a couple of things and support gets it updated. The support admins dont always know what is still good and what is too old to be used. Its up to all of us to help them out on things like that when we see its out of date.

Yep. I actually went through and updated some of the financial stuff with reddogrw input a few months back.
