A solution to the Wiki problem is to only let Inner Party members or established members change it.

Well, but that will defeat the purpose of wiki ideal and the power of community itself. That starts me to remember a bit like real world and threat of terrorism. A bit like let just put the power in the hands of only a few just because anyone can be terrorist. Anyway, and as like in real world, that starts to be the first steps to "dictatorship"/"elites"/"core community". I know you proposal have the best of intentions Jasoco but IMHO I think there is better (and democratic) solutions.

I didn't know about the wiki problems, I myself only edited there once. Since the forum inscription it's the same that permits wiki editing I think the problem it's same "permissive" inscription in the forums. Besides the safety measures in inscription, perhaps another alternative way could be put members on "trial" during a few posts (let's say 5 to 10?) and then receive a human "stamp" that would permit free wiki editing.

That's what I'm saying. Estabished members as in people who have passed the "I posted a first post and it wasn't SPAM! Yay me!" test. Because the problem here is it currently lets anyone new edit it, which includes the spam accounts because there's no similar moderation in place like there is for the spam on the forums. So just prevent people who have less than a few posts from changing it.

Well, then and if we are in the same wave of thought one of best solutions for now would be admins, moderators or even some more veterans users (don't know if that is possible without have to create a) could distribute that stamp to everyone who seems human.

And perhaps forum will need again another purge... :/

Once Operation Skuld is ready for launch I plan to not transfer any lurkers, essentially purging the others.

I just got the "Untrusted" message in Chrome for the first time with the site. Did something change or did it just take that long to trickle down to me? OS X Chrome.

I haven't gotten that at home, but when I tried to go here on a school computer (using Firefox) it game me something similar.

EDIT: Just got it on my home desktop (Chromium).

That's weird. Here on OSX either Safari or Chromium is showing valid certificates from PositiveSSL/Comodo CA (256-bit encrypt). However Chromium says "certificate was signed by an unknown authority".

That is what happened if the authority (Comodo CA in this case) is not yet known to the browser, and the browser can't find a link from that authority to one of the authorities it knows about.

For example, your browser has the public key from TrustedCo.
love2d.org has a certificate from Comodo CA. The browser goes to Comodo CA and asks "what is your public key?"
They say: "this is, and we have a certificate from FooCorp to prove that."
The browser goes to FooCorp and asks "what this your public key?"
They say: "this is, and we have a certificate from TrustedCo to prove that."
The browser can now check that certificate, because it already has the public key from TrustedCo.

Now your browser is happy. If it can't find such a chain, it doesn't know if the certificate might be forged somewhere along the line.

I get the SSL issue on my Droid. Annoying, but not too much hassle.
