My account at https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/ was created long before the paid anti-spam system was put in place, i could swear old accounts like mine that were in good standing had been grandfathered, but it seems it isn't...am i remembering things wrong or was there a decision to ungrandfather old accounts?

(I dont always get new reply notifications, pls send a pm when you think it has happened)

The more you believe in Bitcoin, and the more you show you do to other people, the faster the real value will soar!

There's no grandfathering that I know of.

The payment for anti-spam protection by BitcoinPayment is 0.01 BTC, an amount now worth over a $1 which is higher than necessary to simply prevent wikispam.

When it started I believe the anti-spam amount was more like $0.10.  Given a spammers costs (and benefit) are likely denominated in USD (or some other non BTC) currency it likely would make sense for the anti-spam algorithm to pull a weighted average price and request the BTC equivalent of $0.10.

Is this the reason that the Map of Real World Shops has been broken for months?  No one wants to pay to fix it?
