Spammers are annoying. A while back I added some spam checking to the edits on the wiki. This stopped them from posting pill ads and casino ads on the wiki. Now they're deleting info from the wiki. I check this every couple days and roll it back, but it's still only when I get time. As such, I've implemented a simple captcha to help stop their bots from doing this. You'll now notice that when you try and edit a page, it will ask you to perform a simple math problem (27-1 as an example). I plan on making this a little more robust in the near future, but I want to see how this works for now. I may also require all new users to be approved by SysOps as well. For those that do not know, the current SysOps are me, Nick Hemmesch, Erik Espinoza, and Eric Shubes.

Let me know if anyone has any problems with this new plugin.
Thanks.
