Damn, he has good timing, and he's up at 430 am just to troll johny radio's event page. That creep really needs to get a life.<div class=""><br>

If you just want to deliver the information, stick to the basic wiki<br>
formatting. You're specifically chosing to have your page look like a<br>
90s-ransom-note webpage.<br>

I've attempted more sophisticated formatting, and seem to recall running into some noisebridge limitations on that. I'm super-busy, so no time to get involved in fancy formatting. but i do want to add emphasis here and there. It will have to do. People are participating in this event for the content, not the formatting.<br>
<br>
However, i strongly agree with your desire to bring the wiki into the 21st century, so perhaps you could agree to my request that you previously denied, to add extensions that allow 21st century web elements, like video. And that Courier typewriter font is so 1980's, perhaps you could remove that and use some attractive modern fonts.<br>
<br>
Thx for applying the protection. But I'm not seeing anything in the wikimedia docs indicating that new accounts are blocked by semi protection--<br>

maybe the new account you created did not yet 'ripple' thru the system.<div class=""><br>

Nope, that's definitely not under consideration.<br>

Because? To ensure that registering, logging in, and protection have no effect whatsoever on preventing trolls and site-hacks?</blockquote><div><br></div><div style>Because who's to say that hushmail is a trollsource and gmail is not?</div>
<div style>It's clear that your troll puts no small amount of effort into tolling you, so I'm sure they can just as easily get a domain to receive email and make accounts there.</div><div style><br></div><div style>
Blacklisting domains for registrations is not an effective filter.</div></div></div></div>
