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! -Tom -- May 4, 1970: Alison Krause, Jeffrey Miller, Sandra Scheuer, William Schroeder.
