Linode uses .htaccess on the edit pages (only those), much like our pastebin, and is probably the easiest thing to add. But yes, something needs to be done.. I got sick of deleting spam months ago. A captcha on normal accounts to make edits is probably OK, too, as long as they can manually be moved to "human-trusted". -Avi On Fri, Jun 24, 2011 at 10:36 PM, Diego Viola <diego.viola@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi,
As most of us may alright know, the FreeSWITCH wiki has been abused and attacked by spammers, as seen here: http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges
Some FreeSWITCH users have been deleting and blocking these spammers, but they are increasing their spamming attacks.
I went into #mediawiki in freenode and asked them if there is any solution to this and this is what they suggest:
15:18 < bawolff> !spam | diegoviola 15:18 < mw-bot> diegoviola: For information about combating and handling spam in MediaWiki, see <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Combating_spam> and <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Anti-spam_features>.
I've seen most wikis who have implemented this solution and they no longer get any spamming after applying said solution. If somebody here have administration access to http://wiki.freeswitch.org/ I offer my help to apply this solution.
Thanks, Diego Viola
