  • The G25 Protest! First we asked privately; but were dismissed.

    Then we petitioned peacefully; but were silenced.

    Now we protest publicly; a protest that can neither be dismissed nor silenced.

    I have rallied together the largest and greatest sites of Wetpaint to ask one last time for enhanced site security. The proposals of our protest are simple; effective measures which will ensure the termination of trolls; preventative measures which will stop waves of spam bots ravaging sites; and supportive measures which will ensure the vulnerable users are protected from undesired material!

    We present to the Wetpaint staff our manifesto highlighting our concerns and recommendations for possible solutions.

    1. Waves of spam bots are continually attacking and destroying sites; flooding them with viruses, trojans and malicious adware!

    SOLUTION: A simple logic problem to be completed during account creation; for example, “what does 2 + 7 equal?” or “Jenny is taller than Jack who is shorter than Jane. Who is tallest?” This would have several questions which computers cannot answer.
    These have been proven to be 100% effective, if created properly, against attacks from a computer.

    2. Person A trolls a site. The staff bans them. Person A creates another account and continues trolling; and so on and so forth.

    SOLUTION: A proper IP banning system. We need the ability to properly ban users. Whilst this solution has only a 44% estimated effectiveness, it is better than the current system which has 0% effectiveness against trolls creating new accounts.
