It appears at first glance to be regex based, but there are high amounts of wrong entries. >> What type of regex is it supposed to use? > > Just standard python/perl regex.

I don't use IRC, I tried once. Didn't work out. Anyone new to IRC should wear a diaper, have quick access to the toilet and avoid fibre for 7 days before hand. If you can suggested a guide for the complete idiot to IRC, I'll try and read it. No guarantees though. > BTW, you maybe want to use a recent moin version and activate the > textchas. This has proven a better counter measure against spam than > BadContent is, see HelpOnTextChas for details. There's a few points that need specifying here: 1. I do not have access to the server that our wiki is on. 2. The wiki has been marked for transfer to a new server, all attempts to change the current setup have therefore been rejected. 3. I despise CAPTCHA's. 4. Will always look for an alternative first. 5. Will try textchas on my test setup and then form an opinion. -- Robert Spencer ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
