Spam

WikiSpam is a wikiwide problem. It won't be solved but wikiwide. (see http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiSpam)

I'll be using this page to brainstorm on tactics and techniques to use to combat wiki spam. As you may or may not have noticed, all forms of editing for non-logged-in users has been disabled here on Aneuch Wiki (including the use of discussion pages). This was due to being targeted by various spam bots.

Once I figure out the spam problem, I can re-enable (limited) forms of editing. ~AaronGraves

I'm looking at the possibility of using TextCha for combating wiki spam. ~AaronGraves

In addition to the TextCha, I'd like to implement a banned content feature, similar to something that Oddmuse uses.

Have a look at http://nedbatchelder.com/text/stopbots.html, it's got some interesting tips/ideas to use that I will likely implement into Aneuch 0.30.

07/24/2013 After reading the above linked page and a few comments, I think I've come up with a very good solution. I'll use a honeypot of sorts on all forms in a hope to catch spam bots. This is step one. We'll see how effective that becomes, and go from there.
