The reason is that it’s not a personal website, so we actually have people checking “Recent changes” constantly, and we can use the patroling and lock tools, something I found difficult and timeconsuming.

The vandals and spammers were realatively well-behaved (and robots it looked like).

1. They constantly created a discussion page called Talk:Bad title.
2. They tried to create a new start-page

It was quite rare that they actually destroyed information, the, strangely enough, mostly hit my “Green room” page.

Another question is if we actually would get more people invovled, if we went “low maintenance” at æbletræet.dk? To me it seems that people still haven’t grasped the “Wikipedia concept”, and are intimidated by it, too intimidated to get involved.

I’d say that we could try it…It’s only a small change to the configuration file, and it could easily be restored.

The main problem I see with having vandals and spammers bother us, is that it might take away from the creative process of the real writers, something that most likely loose Wikipedia many good contributers.
