HistoryEdit

The Spanking Art wiki was originally hosted on Wikicities (which soon after became Wikia) at the URL http://spankingart.wikia.com. The wiki moved from there to the free spanking site Anime OTK, in February 2008, under the URL http://spankingartwiki.animeotk.com/. In April 2012 Anime OTK went down, and the Spanking Art wiki was relaunched in May 2012 at the new domain http://spankingart.org.

VandalismEdit

Like any open wiki, we have to deal with vandalism. From about 2009 to April 2012, we experienced vandalism from so-called spambots. These are not humans, but software programs written to post spam all over the Internet. These spambots posted both as IPs (with always changing IP addresses to avoid blocks) and via auto-created user accounts. They created new pages, added contents to existing pages, or replaced existing contents by their spam. They often kept attacking the same page and were easy to identify as spam. Since our move to a new domain in May 2012, we no longer have troubles with such spam.

If you see anything that looks like vandalism in the Recent Changes, don't worry, it will be reverted quickly by one of the admins, usually on the same day. If you come across older vandalism that has escaped our attention, please either fix it yourself (revert it using the page history) or notify Spankart or Roguebfl.
