Hi,<br>
<br>
As most of us may alright know, the FreeSWITCH wiki has been abused<br>
and attacked by spammers, as seen here:<br>
<a href="http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges" target="_blank">http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges</a><br>
<br>
Some FreeSWITCH users have been deleting and blocking these spammers,<br>
but they are increasing their spamming attacks.<br>
<br>
I went into #mediawiki in freenode and asked them if there is any<br>
solution to this and this is what they suggest:<br>
<br>
15:18 < bawolff> !spam | diegoviola<br>
15:18 < mw-bot> diegoviola: For information about combating and<br>
handling spam in MediaWiki, see<br>
<<a href="http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Combating_spam" target="_blank">http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Combating_spam</a>> and<br>
<<a href="http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Anti-spam_features" target="_blank">http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Anti-spam_features</a>>.<br>
<br>
<br>
I've seen most wikis who have implemented this solution and they no<br>
longer get any spamming after applying said solution. If somebody here<br>
have administration access to <a href="http://wiki.freeswitch.org/" target="_blank">http://wiki.freeswitch.org/</a> I offer my<br>
help to apply this solution.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Diego Viola<br>
