Not really losing. We're just putting ourselves at an extreme disadvantage by allowing anyone to modify the wiki pages. If we really wanted to we could implement an authentication system and an approval process, much like what I have done with this mailing list; people have to sing up to the list and first-time posts have to be approved. Thus far, IMHO, the banlist for the wiki is working reasonably well:
http://www.cwelug.org/cgi-bin/wiki.cgi?Banlist
I should really say that it requires daily upkeep. Over time the spammers are getting better at this, I think. First it was pr0n, then poker, then more pr0n. I think the incident rate has increased and not been adequately blocked by the banlist (meaning more ips are occuring than we are collecting.)
As far as the banlist goes, how about I put up a (albeit stopgap) svn repository with this one file. Then we can setup it by a co, followed by ups and commits everytime we change it? A little simpler than WebDAV approaches.
BTW. you (Rob�rt,) are the most (pro)active in the world according to google:
