Admins post (simplified) a: Needed changes.

1. We need to change the admin permissions so that admins can delete accounts. Currently we have NOT resolved the issue I found with the Captcha accepting the correct word for any image rather than just the one that appears, so we are under attack by spam accounts. Admins need to be able to delete these accounts. There is currently a way for admins to do this ANYWAY, but it is needlessley complicated and, I believe, due to an error in EE. It is simplest just to give admins the ability to delete accounts,

2. Media wiki update. Did we ever get that done? We should.

3. Admins should be able to edit comments. It is technically illegal, but sometimes needed; for spam and profanity.  There is a way to due it, but it is only possible from certain screens, and most likely due to an error in EE. It is easiest just to allow it officially.

“A way to due it” indeed.

Any admin who’s been paying attention knows how to edit comments. It’s not that hard.

I’ve not been paying attention. Which is why, as Wak says, it needs to be available *officially*.

We shouldn’t be editing comments so regularly that it’s even an issue. And Wak, you should work on your typography.

3. If we are to edit comments ever it should be available.

I think we want to edit comments never.  Delete, perhaps, but not edit.

2.  I have the install files, but I need to talk to 75th trombone about the database server.

1.  Agreed.  Will have a look when i’m more awake.

Can we delete comments? I’ll look into that sometime.
