I had a choice once for a wiki I ran.
A) Leave it to the spam fiends.
B) Install captchas.
I chose B. The rationale: a wiki with no captchas is better than a wiki with
captchas, but a wiki with captchas is better than no wiki at all.
wait. why wouldn't it be better to just have no wiki at all, even in a
situation where there wouldn't be any spam and the captcha wouldn't be
annoying?
I mean, what is the problem that is solved by the existence of a wiki, and
which are the problems that are introduced by the existence of a wiki (not
even thinking about spam and captchas), and how do those problems balance
?
