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. --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 = "/casino|viagra|porn/i"; which seems to work much better than expected :) --MrTweek 18:02, 17 May 2007 (CEST)
