Although I was aware of the changeover, I rather assumed that all the
equivalent protection and spam prevention methods would be implemented on
the new one. Perhaps that was naive of me. As you say, the AbuseMod patches
weren't perfect they did a reasonably good job of keeping the wiki in
order.
I like the look of the new wiki but if it's going to be spammed to death
then it feels like a backwards step.
