In the last few days, the wiki was spammed a lot. Any ideas how to avoid this? I don't want to disable anonymous write-access, because many anonymous users have useful contributions. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 14:41, 29 April 2007 (CEST)
 
:I don't think we should disable anonymous write access. There are several things we can do before even considering that (from the back of my head, no access to mediawiki.org servers from [[China]]...)
:* chongq them: http://chongqed.org:* Install a plugin, that :** possibly uses Wikimedia's spam blacklist

:I've set $wgSpamRegex = "/c''asino''|v''iagra''|p''o''rn/i"; which seems to work much better than expected :) --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 18:02, 17 May 2007 (CEST)::I think that blacklisting a list of pharmaceuticals might help. Although, you'd have to be careful about that. There could be a valid entry with chloroquine (Malaria treatment) for example. However, I don't think that Valium or Xanax have much to do with hitchhiking. [[User:Zac Stewart|Zac]]<small><sup>[[User talk:Zac Stewart|talk]]</sup></small> 14:37, 17 August 2007 (CEST)
