User blog comment:H-Man Havoc/Semi-Protected Pages/@comment-737801-20110322034801

I thought full protection meant that only admins can edit, while semi protected means that only registered users can. Right now it says the opposite.

Anyway, Spart is really against protecting pages, while I may see a few reasons from time to time. However at the same time, semi protecting pages, or full protecting pages, as Spart put it somewhere, just feeds the vandals. Most of the time, it dies down after a period of time, usually it is just one person, and sometimes a single person goes a mass spree before Spart or myself can shut him down.

Overall, I would have to say that after some thinking, I'm still really against it. It really is kind of permanent fix for what is usually a very temporary problem.
