Have you ever posted to Wiki-pedia? I believe they use an image with random text in it that is much harder for auto scripts to read.
I have. IIRC, Yahoo does the same.
you've seen them. they start with a bunch of noise then overlay the text, then
put more noise in the image. You might want to look at the system
wikipedia is using if your wiki does not support it.
Yeah, maybe, eventually. For now, the banlist seems to be working good-enough and the spammers are fairly low-volume noise. Their defacing is easy to remedy and their IPs easy to ban. I feel strongly about not trying to over-engineer a solution for a problem that doesn't really exist, yet. But it is nice to know about solutions before the problems hit.
On the other hand, if someone wants to implement an alternate wiki solution or anything else, I'd be more than happy to setup a virtual host and a login on the CWELUG machine for that person or persons.
