==Deleting files==
 
I am not able to delete images from the files page that are newer than April 2, 2012. That's about 67 days. Does that make sense, like is there a built in delay before images can be deleted?--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 22:59, 8 June 2012 (MDT)

==Reasons for blocking a user or deleting a page==
 
When blocking a user or deleting a page made by a new user that does not relate to Crankshaft Coalition wiki subjects, there is a box that offers a selection of reasons for blocking, like ''Inserting false information, Removing content, Spamming links'', etc., and reasons for deletion, like ''Author request, Copyright violation, and Vandalism''. There could be another reason added to those options, like '''''Non automotive content''''' or something else that conveyed that idea, instead of selecting "Other" and typing in the reason.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 07:02, 12 June 2012 (MDT)

==Large influx of new members==
 +
Unfortunately 95%-plus of the new registrations are not contributing a thing. They are probably being created by spambots. My concern is if they became aggressive things could quickly get out of hand.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 00:22, 7 February 2013 (MST)

:After reaching a high of 500-plus registrations per day, as of 5-28-13 there has been a drastic ''decrease'' in new registrations by non contributing members, down to around 25 per day. Of these, spam has also decreased.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 19:11, 29 May 2013 (MDT)

==Slow page loading when editing==
 +
As had been reported to Jon on 01-12-2013 via a PM at Hotrodders forum, on 01-11-2013 the wiki began loading edited pages '''''very''''' slowly. This was seen by Jon and myself so wasn't caused by a bad internet connection, etc.
 +
 +
:As of 03-25-2013 the wiki is back to the way it was before the slowdown as far as speed of loading pages after edits. The wiki still has issues, but this is a big improvement from the previous 2-1/2 months.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 06:38, 8 April 2013 (MDT)

==Huge increase in new user spam==
 +
I was concerned this might happen. Fortunately many seem to have one common IP address, although I am now seeing several others.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 11:49, 20 April 2013 (MDT)

==Email edit notification working again?==
 +
I received an email notification of a recent edit to a page- something that hasn't happened for many months now. Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come...--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 15:47, 29 May 2013 (MDT)
