Description

autoconfirmed status (i belive standard values) are 4 days and 10 edits.

that's way too much.
it should be decreased to
2 days
and
4 edits

Spam accounts can easily become autoconfirmed with the default values, I don’t see a compelling reason to lower that even more…

Actually we don't have any spam problems on the TDF wiki. Only spam accounts but they don't post new pages / edit existing. I get regular complaints about the anti-spam by legit users who can't do useful edits (the lat one yesterday by sooth) because of being not autoconfirmed. Moreover we do have the extension Nuke installed which can easily delete all created pages.

the false-positives are simply too high. Even without recaptcha our spam-users max. posted 3 (mostly identical) pages...

I have some free days in the next week. So I will likely change the config. What do you propose Adolfo instead of my proposal on 4 edits and 2 days? 2 and one?

so for now I lowered the configuration to 4 edits and two days.
Can be adjusted later of course. (simply reply, I get mails for redmine tickets ;-) ) ;-)
