When I set it up so that until I add users to a group manually, they are
only allowed to view and register, XWiki is still allowing them to edit
_their own profile_, no matter what.
This defeats the #1 reason I'm blocking them from editing- the misuse of
my Wiki for Google Ranking Spam.
What they do is, they register, they put a milling links for spam stuff
in their profile comments and such, then the add links from external
places to there, and so forth, to scam Google into thinking lots of
different sites link to them, then Google sees MY domain linking to the
spam sites, and maybe dings me, TOO!
If I set it up for no editing until I add a user to the "editors" group,
I mean NO editing- PERIOD- *especially* including their profile! Which
is *often* where Google Ranking Spammers put their scams!
