			Result when I asked Gemini,

			: draft an article for consumerrights.wiki based on archive.is/kZCot :

			Documentation shows [Company Name] employs anti-repair and anti-ownership tactics, utilizing proprietary design constraints and software locks that turn product ownership into a revocable license [Source: archive.is/munged]. These practices, which prioritize corporate control over user autonomy, are part of a broader trend toward subscription-based, non-repairable hardware [Source: archive.is/munged]. For a full analysis of these practices, visit the Consumer Rights Wiki page for this case [[User:CrookKilla\|CrookKilla]] ([[User talk:CrookKilla\|talk]]) 07:02, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

			Hi, I've just been catching up on your post history and you've raised some good points.

			With regards to the CAPTCHAs, our use of hCAPTCHA seeks to avoid the worst of the privacy issues associated with reCAPTCHA. We can see the level of spam that is attempted on the wiki, and the CAPTCHAs do a decent job of keeping it at a manageable rate (obviously not stopping it, but it means that we can keep the Wiki open to anonymous edits and maintain a non-invasive signup process -e.g. not asking for phone numbers, etc.). We generally seek to remove the requirements to fill in CAPTCHAs for users as quickly as possible after we can tell they're making good faith edits, though sometimes it does take a few days if we miss someone initially.

			Some of the suggestions you posted seem like good ideas, particularly the honeypot and temporary tokens (the other two are a bit invasive), and I'll forward them to the technical folks for consideration as and when it's possible to do so.

			More importantly, I've confirmed your account, so you shouldn't need to worry about CAPTCHAs any more!


			Thank you for coming along, and best wishes,

			Keith (wiki manager) [[User:Keith\|Keith]] ([[User talk:Keith\|talk]]) 14:47, 3 July 2025 (UTC)

New page

Notes to self:

Why are you interested in moderating the Wiki?
So that it works effectively. The first content I looked at was Brilliant, and it strikes me that there's a lot of noise on the page. The TOS eval system (by EFF?) handles the bulk of this stuff already, IIRC, and does a better job. Pages could just refer readers there for TOS stuff.

What do you see as the biggest non-technical problem with the Wiki or its articles at present?

What is your time availability for the role, and what tasks are you most interested in carrying out as a mod?
My time is my own. I'd like to work on the most impactful parts of the wiki.

Have you read through the Wiki's policy documentation, and do you have any particular thoughts or comments on it?
Nope, not yet.
