Is it possible to have a stronger signup procedure for the wiki? I think something as simple as email confirmation should do the trick. Simply entering a username and password is making it really simple for bots to play havoc.
this was discussed - but the harder you make it to sign up - the less likely you are to get the one-off contributor who is so important for a wiki. I dont think the spam is all that much. And instead of complaining to the admins, one should remove spam as and when one finds it. I would have done it by now, but the wiki is not loading for me.
