Wiki Spam gone Wild
If I didn't have spam filtering turned on for our Wiki, I definitely would not be able to keep it running - here's a bit of the logging, which illustrates the problem:
<< April 13, 2008 10:49:48.216 >> << Spam from: (IP Omitted) >> << Spam Intended For: Cincom Smalltalk >> << April 13, 2008 10:49:48.781 >> << Spam from: (IP Omitted) >> << Spam Intended For: Wiki Syntax >> << April 13, 2008 10:49:59.142 >> << Spam from: (IP Omitted) >> << Spam Intended For: Add an action button to a canvas >> << April 13, 2008 10:51:29.850 >> << Spam from: (IP Omitted) >> << Spam Intended For: Wiki Syntax >> << April 13, 2008 10:54:22.129 >> << Spam from: (IP Omitted) >> << Spam Intended For: VW NameSpace Reservations >>
It's like that 24x7.

Time to add reCAPTCHA for comments?

I've not seen any comment spam on my blog since I added reCAPTCHA. If you're having to spend time manually deleting spam or tweaking your keyword spam filters, you might want to add it too. It's a piece of cake: see my blog entry: Added CAPTCHA to prevent spam comments. When I receive the VW 7.6 CD and update our server, I'll check with you about adding reCAPTCHA in to the Silt core.
