Please also take this opportunity to defeat denial-of-service attacks by implementing Ingress and Egress filtering through BCP38.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Think twice before restricting write access to a web or a topic, because an open system where everybody can contribute is the essence of the WikiCulture. Experience shows that unrestricted write access works very well because:

• There is enough peer pressure to post only appropriate content.
• Content does not get lost because pos systems topics are under revision control.
• A topic revision can be undone by a member of the TWikiAdminGroup in case needed.
