Hello Rich,
The permaculture wiki is getting loaded with junk. Is it accessed through ftp? Can I research and try a hand and changing the settings to require a user account to edit? Do you think that would be sufficient to stop the march of the spambot?

Hi Paul,
Lets try using a spam filter to web out the spam.

I've installed the
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SpamBlacklist
extension which should catch most of the spam.

If there are pages not caught by the standard spam lists you can edit
http://www.permaculture.info/index.php/My_spam_blacklist
to add new sites.

I'm reticinet in requiring user accounts as it makes a barrier for genuine users to edit. Lets see if the blacklist works first before trying other methods.

Rich
