Hi,
I'm running MoinMoin 1.9.6 [release] on Scientific
Linux (A RHEL clone) 6.4.
I've moin configured so that anyone may create a
user, but users cannot create any pages unless
they are in a group, and the group page is itself
protected.
Spammers are creating users. This is not a problem;
I detect and delete them periodically. However,
spammers are attempting to create pages and each
time this happens moin leaves an empty file in
data/pages/.
The proliferation of these files is causing problems.
It would be nice if moin only allowed a user to
attempt page creation when the user has permission,
but that's for the future. Right now I want to
know if there's a way I can prevent moin from creating
the empty files and plugging up the filesystem.
Yes, I can get rid of the pages with 'moin maint cleanpage',
and I do. But I'd much rather not have the pages
created in the first place.
Is there a solution?
Thanks for the help.

P.S. FYI. User creation also creates an empty file
in data/pages. This is an unnecessary use of filesystem
resource until and if the user actually puts something
on their user page.
