::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 chlo<nowiki></nowiki>roquine (Malaria treatment) for example. However, I don't think that Va<nowiki>lium or Xan</nowiki>ax have much to do with hitchhiking.

::: Just added them. I'm getting a slightly feeling that some of the spam is actually added by hand. I was always that all this are bots. In that case, it might be smarter not to publish the blacklist. Let's see wether that works.
== new spamming ==
I've noticed some spamming (at least I see it as spamming) in the last month:
[http://hitchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=Things_to_carry&diff=prev&oldid=38437 here],
[http://hitchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=Amsterdam_Airport_Schiphol&diff=prev&oldid=39036 here],
[http://hitchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=Hitchhiker%27s_safety&diff=prev&oldid=39204 here] and
[http://hitchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=London_Stansted&diff=prev&oldid=39037 here] and
[http://hitchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=London_Gatwick_Airport&diff=prev&oldid=39038 here]...
Looks like it's been added manually. I don't want to have this kind of advertising in the hitchwiki... Can we do something about it? Add more words to the blacklist? Is wikimedia's blacklist in use yet? --[[User:Kb|Kb]] 17:16, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
: We have a blacklist, which prevents some basic stuff, but it's not too helpful. How does wikimedia's blacklist work? I will give you SysOp-rights, so next time you encounter a spammer, you can ban him ;). There is very few manual spam, and I think the only way to fight it, is manually :/ --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 17:41, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
:: I already have these rights but I'm a bit sceptical of banning IPs because they are not distinct. And the same IP never tried to do anything twice (did anyone ban them?). --[[User:Kb|Kb]] 18:41, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
What about [http://hitchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=User:Tastefulranch89&rcid=50708 this] and [http://hitchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=User:MikeHooper&rcid=50612 this]? Seems to me like non-sense/gibberish... --[[User:N0id|N0id]] 13:39, 13 July 2011 (CEST)
