about deleting a wiki
Aug 1 2011, 12:57 PM EDT
Hello, I read many threads and pages today, trying to get some informations about deleting wikis. My question is the following :you said that the creator only can delete a wiki himself in following the instructions above, isn't it? Someone said that his wiki can be deleted if he reveal the secret from a friend, is it true? If a rule of Wetpaint is violated by the owner of a wiki (copyright infringement, by example), an administrator of here can he delete this wiki for this? You see, it isn't mentioned on the page and I've searched, I didn't found, I thank you... Do you find this valuable? |

Your question has many parts. Let's address them one by one. 1. Creator is the only one that can pseudo-delete a wiki. This is done by the instructions that you have read. An Admin can attempt to do the same thing, with the exception of banning the creator, which cannot be done. There is only one condition where an Admin can delete a wiki. That is if the creator canceled their membership. 2. Someone telling you their is a secret can only be knowing the creator's password. If this is known, then the secret holder can login as the creator and follow the steps on how to delete a wiki. Wikis are never deleted by the creator nor by Wetpaint (some exceptions). So the instructions given on how to delete a wiki are only making the wiki unavailable to enter. 3. Wetpaint personnel are the only one's that can actually delete a wiki. This doesn't happen often but they do at times. Such as, a wiki created that violates the COPPA law (Mandatory deletion). Or violates or continues to violate Wetpaint's Terms of Service (Very rare will they delete the wiki). 4 Wetpaint personnel have access to what is called an "Uber User" credential. This means they can enter any Wetpaint wiki and have total control over the wiki, including banning the creator. Hope this helps you understand the process a little better. Do you find this valuable? |
