Sometime Today, Siddhesh Poyarekar assembled some asciibets to say:
I don't think simply removing the content would do
it. The user needs
to be kicked off as well. Hence the complain to
the admins.
Simple solution is to make everyone who has contributed to the wiki more than once, and proven himself to be a genuine, non-spamming, human user an admin.
The most confusing part of these recent spams were that the "recent changes" page didn't list what these bots did. The page that was affected by spam, was notified to the sysops. The wiki isn't accessible at the time of writing this.
There's a link to GLUG-BOM:Administrators on the wiki that lists the email id of admins, _incase_ a problem is not being solved / there are specific restrictions that one thinks is not available as a normal user. Please send emails as notified on the page.
