Adrian,
The "MEPIS Documentation Wiki - Recent changes" RSS feed appears to be infected by porn site URLs. I didn't wish to follow the links.

Is that why the forum got borked earlier today? I haven't looked at my email since I got home 'cause my local network is acting up and it's late, so I'll have to take a look tomorrow.
Good work on fixing things though

I doubt the forum got borked because of one spam edit in the Wiki... but who knows...

Hi Jon;
Had word from Warren that it was a DDOs-Attack?!?
So they were able to fix it, glad they did!

HEY JOE;
THE LATTER...
He could have made some announcement, but he was quite busy repairing at late nighthours, I guess.
So you'll have to forgive him for that!
That's how Warren probably is (being busy), as a founder of a good distro...
I've mailed Warren to tell him about all these strange codes popping up, and he told me by mail, that this was a DDOS-attack...

The user has already been blocked and the page corrected however there's no way for that not to show in RSS feed, that's the purpose of RSS feed to show all the changes.
Also, Wiki is a collaboration project, you can't expect to yell "Adrian fix this or fix that" everytime there's something wrong (I'm not saying you did that, thank you for notice, I'm just trying to protect me for the future) best thing to do is to do it yourself: if you see there's a problem you can correct it, there's a "rollback" button. I usually watch RSS feeds and correct things and ban users very quickly however even I have to sleep sometimes.
