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

I've set $wgSpamRegex = "/casino|viagra|porn/i"; which seems to work much better than expected :) --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. Zactalk 14:37, 17 August 2007 (CEST)
