Banned is such a harsh word. Way too harsh for us warm hearted teachers, but we must also remember that Wetpaint was not made out right for education and in a society that sees a lot of Spam users banned...it is the perfect word.

Many of you have been writing in on the forums lately wanting to know how to delete old students from the wiki. Seeing it's the start of a new year and probably a new semester of learning for most, this is a great time to do a little wiki house cleaning and delete old users from your system.

Here's how you do it:

1. Log into your wiki. Only moderators and up can ban members.

2. Click on Members



3. Click on the profile of a member you want to ban (delete) and then click on view profile



4. Click on Change Permissions



5. Choose Banned and confirm by clicking on Change Permissions




There you have it! The step by step guide to deleting/banning members from your wiki. Now go out there and clean up those wikis.
