I tried creating a new page when logged in, and editing an existing page, and was prompted for textchas on all of them. When I entered a wrong answer, the edit didn't go through. So there may be a human involved at some level, or maybe they've made a list of all the questions/answers. If that's so, I don't know what can be done about this, other than making the textchas harder or just restricting editing of the Jython wiki to a limited list of people, which might be OK if the Jython community agrees -- not many people edit the wiki. We could add rel=nofollow to the links to deny the spammers pagerank, but are they sophisticated enough to notice? (They certainly aren't noticing that we delete pages pretty quickly.) --amk _______________________________________________ pydotorg-www mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pydotorg-www
