Wiki spam

Hi,

does anybody know who is the wiki maintainer?

Currently we are getting up to 20 spam pages every day. There is
an "Antispam subsystem" (sometimes updating its "BadContent" page), but
obviously it doesn't work: spammers can add new pages with links to
websites listet in "BadContent".

I removed/replaced the content of several spam pages, but I can't remove
those pages.

Meanwhile, the "recent changes" and "title index" pages (in
German: "AktuelleƄnderungen" and "TitelIndex") are totally useless.

It looks like nobody cares... :-(

Ulf

The latest version of MoinMoin has a new anti-spam feature called text
captchas which asks the user to solve a question before accepting a form.

http://moinmo.in/TextCha

Try editing that page and you can see it in action. An upgrade to the
latest version will help cut a lot of this spam.


Kind regards,

Mukund

I know, but all that is a task for the maintainer, I'm just an ordinary
user.

Thanks,
Ulf
