KittyCatS! Wiki (5.29.13 Still need a few furs! Looking for Collection cats pictures! Thank you EVERYONE! <3)

Open to "anyone" is obviously a bad idea. Unless we define "anyone" to be "someone with an interest in KittyCatS".

Personally, I'd have four levels of trust, from least, to most ...

* Anonymous users. Read-only access to Wiki pages, read-only access for forum posts.
* Has an account on the Wiki site. Read-only access to Wiki pages, can post in forums.
* Has authoring rights. Can create and edit Wiki pages, can post in forums.
* Has administrative rights. Can grant and revoke authoring rights.

I'd admit Very Few people to the last group. Granting authoring rights would simply require a request sent to an admin, and the admin verifying that the request is from someone who has an actual interest in KittyCatS. Anyone could create an account. Those who don't, get very limited access.

If it were my site, I'd NOT even be running it on a server site like Wikia. I'd get a dedicated machine to which I had root access and properly secure the server as well as set up a regular backup schedule. As the root user, I'd also be the only one who could assign/revoke admin rights .. which is a fifth level of trust, restricted to me, alone. But, then, I'm not just a geek, I'm a very paranoid geek when it comes to proper management of Internet services. Of course, it's not really paranoia when you know they really are out to get you.
