We won't allow anonymous users to edit pages, you need to register first - at least that's how I understand it. Because of this I don't think you can compare it to the amount of spam comments there have been posted, as the only thing you needed in order to post a comment was to fill out a captcha. I have by the way gone through all the pages and removed the spam comments I have found, so we can claim the wiki to be spam free now :) > I don't know if Confluence is just particularly more spammer friendly, or if > it's an implementation issue, or if we just need more wiki cops.

We probably can't find a solution which works equally well for everybody, and considering the existing content is in Confluence, it would just be extra work for us - without much gain - if we choose to migrate to another wiki system. We should at least have a clear plan for what we are trying to gain from it, and how we are going to do it, before we start a migration. -- Venlig hilsen / Kind regards Jeppe Toustrup (aka.
