Developer discussion for Creative Commons technology and tools

[Maarten Zeinstra <mz AT kl.nl>]

I had a long discussion about the spam on the wiki about with Nathan Kinkade 
about a year ago. There are several methods in place to try and stop 
spammers. The ones that get through are either placed by humans or using 
accounts that are created by humans. It takes human effort to block them as 
it is, something that CC-HQ had no personnel for at the time.

I tried to help a bit, but it was tedious and not very useful. I did remove 
all the nudity I could find in the mediastore of wiki last year though. That 
is a task with things that cannot be unseen..

Best,

Maarten
