The amount of vandalism to the gnashdev wiki has been increasing a bit over the past couple of weeks, and I've been blocking accounts and nuking spam pages in a seeming game of whack-a-mole. I think it might be helpful for us to implement more safeguards to make it harder for spammers to mess up the wiki.
One easy fix, as there are relatively few new legitimate users each month, would be to simply require new users to email "[email protected]" to get an account. We could just restrict access to the create-a-new-account page[1], and post the registration email address as an image (to prevent it being harvested for spam). There are probably other ways we can reduce the amount of wiki spam we get, but this seems quick and easy.
