Hi,
Since the Wiki re-fresh it has been plagued with SPAM, today I've checked and
nearly a dozen pages have been spammed this weekend. All I seem to do with the
site is remove spam from it.
Our wiki is an open site that allows any one to edit them in the hope that
people contribute to the site. The problem is that very few people contribute
to the site but a lot of sad spammers do.
There are three options:
1) Leave as is, and hope I and a few others still have the will to keep the
viagra adds to a minimum.
2) Force everyone who wishes to contribute to the wiki to register via a
human. This will make it harder to contribute but should keep the spam to
zero.
3) Turn the web site back into a static web site, which will make it very much
harder to others to contribute, but again will keep the spam to zero.
I think we all like the idea that anyone can contribute to the site and add
anything (within reason) to the site. However we also need to accept that very
few people have added anything in the past months and all I and a few others
do is remove spam.
DISCUSS!
