[Gmod-help] GMOD website vandalised

[Hilmar Lapp]

There were actually more than two dozen more vandalized pages. I've  
returned those to their previous state too.

I don't have blocking user privileges either. In fact, I also can't  
delete the bogus page that the rogue user (or should I say script  
kiddie?) created:

http://www.gmod.org/wiki/index.php?title=Pr03mb4

There is an additional user Salomon386 that hasn't exactly vandalized  
anything yet, but looks suspicious.

Dave - could you please make sure that all help at gmod.org (or whoever  
else you would consider administrators) have the right to delete and  
block users, and to delete pages?
