i was trying to be helpful so i went over to genie wiki and i was trying to create an account so i could add some more pages to the dismally empty Age of Empires section and the Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds section (i used to play that). but i found out that i couldnt create an account because it was locked down to prevent spamming! im no spammer!

It has been like that for some years. Spammers are very active, and wikis (and forums!) are an easy prey if there aren't enough active moderators to delete spam and ban spammers. I signed up and made a couple of edits in 2007-08, found my password and logged in again, and hey, I can't make any changes either, because the database has been locked.

Everything is now archived. That's better than a spam destruction...
