Goodbye spammers!

One of the oft-said things about Chainki is that it will be killed by spam, since anyone can edit.

Well, Chainki has just got a new weapon against spam: the spam-filter!

This cooooool gizmo means that any attempt to add text with any of the following sorts of words:

  • adultporn
  • ringtones
  • buy-viagra

will simply be rejected and never seen! Horray!!

Try editing a page and adding these words and you'll see that it won't let you!

OK spam, bring it on!!

Nice URLs!

Now, you can access pages in a "nice" way. What I mean by "nice" is that the website page addresses are much more friendly to read, because they don't have lots of squiggly characters such as "?" and "=" which are just for the computers benefit.

So, for example, the new form is:
http://en.chainki.org/wiki/Art_History

instead of
http://en.chainki.org/index.php?title=Art_History

(though this latter form still works for backwards compatibility)

Pretty nice eh?
