Thank you for the compliments for this site
I don't know if you have had experience with other wiki projects; however generally, we do not create "mainspace" articles (which you termed a thread, I see) to talk or communicate with other editors (analogous to members). In fact, our articles on here, while definitely a lot less serious than the world-famous Wikipedia, are not considered to be threads, with a couple of exceptions like the Saloon bar, which a link exists to on the left of your screen. Feel free to edit this page if you have any questions. ConservapediaEditor (talk) 20:46, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * It's a spambot. We've had a few of these since we made the forum, they probably search for text like "forum" and "new thread", hence the edit on Template talk:New thread. -- Nx  / talk 20:48, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * If it keeps happening we should think about captcha. Totnesmartin (talk) 20:57, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Captcha kicks in if they try to post an external link. I don't know why they don't do it, maybe they're just testing if posting at all is possible, or trying to look like a real forum member. I think forcing every anon to go through captcha would be overkill, it isn't that much of a problem (except in the Template namespace, where every edit has to go through a captcha, as a result of a bot we had a few months ago). -- Nx  / talk 21:12, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
