	==Reason for Such a System==		==Reason for Such a System==

	Giving any internet user the power to edit a website has its advantages and disadvantages. On October 26, 2006, WikiIslam came under its first bot-based vandalism attack. The attack went on for about an hour, and new user registrations were then disabled for some time. The third and last unrestricted attack was on November 20, 2006. A system was developed to deal with such attacks and limit vandalism to an easily manageable level. Without such a system it would be impossible to have this website. We keep regular backups of the site and in any situation it is always possible to restore the wiki to its previous state.
