It seems as though the way we required users to have confirmed email addresses before editing wasn't working. So anyone who created an account, even if they didn't confirm the email could create or edit a page. I've managed to fix this, but there is still the question of removing the spam. I'm considering trying something like removing any user whos email isn't also subscribed to a gem5 mailing list. Any thoughts?
