Ultimately the wiki depends on trust. Players upload log files, which are just text, and technically anyone can alter the log files. The tricky part is detecting who did it.
The only record (that I know of) for who contributed auction data is:
https://wiki.project1999.com/Special:AuctionTracker. So if you can track an item, and see "hey yesterday it didn't have a fake entry from me, and today it does", and there's only been one person who has added to price info ... I
could ban that person.
But, the problem is, no one has to enter their name (and if they did, they could just lie). What we really need is to do is A) only let logged-in users submit data, and B) track which price entry came from which
wiki user (vs. the current
self-reported user). With those changes I could very easily recognize false entries, see who is responsible, and ban them.
But here's the rough part: the whole auction system was written, in PHP, by Rahvin ... who doesn't play anymore. You could PM and ask him, or maybe try and bribe him ... but if it were me I wouldn't want to waste a lot of time programming a wiki feature for a game I don't play.
So really what it amounts to is that unless anyone who codes in PHP wants to help fix this, it is what it is
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] If you can point me to specific items with specific "clearly out of bounds" auction entries, I can delete them ... but that's the limit of what I can do right now.
